It isn't just first responders, it is also your local fire department. Go down there and they will have some lying around. They use the for extrication on vehicles. Very very handy when hooked up to a 2216 psi air tank. You know the kind of tank you wear on your back for going into fires. They work awesome.

**Think about that one have a tankw ith 2216 psi of air in it..
