Abstract
A fireman's personal hand tool is comprised of a spike member and a wrench member. Both members may be used in combination as a slide hammer with the spike member being hammered by the wrench member between objects to be pried apart. The wrench member may also be used to open or close valves and is configured to fit a variety of hydrant valve head shapes and sizes. Both the spike member and the wrench member have integral hose coupling jaws to engage and disengage hose couplings. The members are separable so that the jaws may be used independently or in combination. In addition, there are three different sizes of jaws to enable the tool to fit a greater variety of coupling sizes.
