5.11 Tactical will release its line of breaching tools in the fall that offer lighter weight tools for patrol officers as well as a heavy kit and hydraulic training door for entry teams, the company announced.
5.11 Tactical has partnered with Sweden Entry Tools (S.E.T.) to develop the mechanical breaching tools that are constructed with a proprietary TacForged steel alloy for lighter weight and tool strength. The tool shafts are designed for rigidity, utilizing hydraulic pipe steel to eliminate all spring tension in the tool.
The 5.11 Breaching Tool System allows breaching of inward and outward opening wooden, steel and security doors. The "expert entry tools" in the system include the MiniRam, the compact MultiPry, the MultiSledge, and the full-sized MultiBreacher.
Two kit styles include the Active Patrol Breaching Kit for patrol officers responding to active shooters and HRT response, and a Heavy Breaching Kit for SWAT-level response situations. The unique MultiPurpose Training Door allows for multiple variations of training on different types of outward and inward opening of wood, fire, metal and security niche plate mounted doors with both mechanical and hydraulic tools.
"S.E.T. and 5.11 Tactical partnered to develop efficient and balanced breaching tools with tremendous power and precision to open any door," said Tom Davin, CEO of 5.11 Tactical, in a statement. "The Tactical Breaching Tool System offers a mechanical breaching system for quick and certain entry capability to open secure doors with speed whilst minimizing exposure. When time is critical, these tools help ensure success."
