Re: Hurst Rescue Tool etc.
I cut my teeth on one of those units in my early days, after being inspired by Roy & Johnny of course.
It sounded like a buzzsaw with the surge of a blown alcohol car, and jeez they were heavy.
They titled the way for the tool as Jaws, just as Kleenex or Coke titled the way for their followers and copiers down the road,
though the correct title for them now are cutters and spreaders.
We also progressed to something else, along with "Port a power" hydraulic units, and eventually the TNT tool as well in my 23 years.
There was nothing more fun than cutting up a donor car for a demonstration, but they served their purpose well cutting many of fool
and poor soul out of mangled wrecks as well. Paul, I would have to say they are like a collectible car.
They are worth what the right person is willing to pay. But would have to agree they are a fine museum piece of history.
Probably a very rare find in this day, especially as a complete set ( if you have the spreaders/Jaws with it).
