Easily accessible with gloved hands
Functional enough to replace other tools
Always at the ready to solve a problem
The guiding principle behind the design of the Rascal Wedge was a simple question, a thought that came during a routine forcible entry drill:
What if we could improve upon the tried-and-true wooden door chock in your helmet with a device that was roughly the same size and weight but added functionality?
By doing so we could achieve the following:
Easily accessible with gloved hands
Functional enough to replace other tools
Always at the ready to solve a problem
We did, and the Rascal Wedge was born. It's a lightweight aluminum wedge with multiple openings to make it useful on the fireground. Check out the infographic to see what it does:
FORCIBLE ENTRY
FORCIBLE ENTRY
Always accessible, whether in your helmet or in a pocket with a lanyard.
Designed with ridges on the top and bottom faces to capture progress.
Gap the door with your Halligan then hold the progress with the Rascal Wedge. When it's about as deep as the spanner opening, that marks when you have enough space for the fork on your Halligan.
MULTI-TOOL

Openings in the wedge allow you to turn the following valves:
Residential gas shutoff
Appliance gas shutoff
Standpipe valves (with missing handle)
Oxygen valves
Ball valves (with missing handle)
HANDLINE SPANNER

Instead of wrapping around the fitting, a brand new design "grips" the lugs of common 1-3/4" handline/appliance/adapter couplings to help give that extra twist to stop a leak or quickly add a length of hose to your attack line.
OPTIONAL MAGNETS:
We offer a version with optional, high-temperature magnets to allow you to stick the Rascal Wedge to a metal door or jamb while you're performing a solo forcible entry as well as to stick the wedge to the hinge pin on a door to keep it open if the bottom is too high off the ground. Also works great to stick the wedge to your Halligan!
