First up is a homemade chisel prop that has 1/4″ bolts, 1/4″ school bus rivets, and 1/8″ rivets. Basic air chisel operations can be perfected on this prop. We are looking for your suggestions of air chisels to demo and try on this prop. More videos to come in the next few months on air chisel operations.

Second, this homemade padlock prop is still being fine tuned so it is reusable and easily reset. Thanks to FF Stout for the shop time.
Third, this homemade forcible entry prop has felt nearly 800 forces. What are you using to train gap/set/force techniques? Read more on the forcible entry prop here and here.
