Over the last half century, countless people have been saved – plucked from the jaws of death – by rescuers using the HURST Jaws of Life®. Recognized as a leader in the design of rescue tools, HURST Jaws of Life® began celebrating its 50th anniversary this month. A unit of IDEX Fire & Safety, HURST Jaws of Life rescue tools was created by innovator George Hurst, a racing enthusiast and the manufacturer of Hurst shifters, who devised a prototype tool to extricate auto racers from high-speed wrecks in 1971. In 1972, the HURST Power Tool made its public debut with production of the model JL-32, which soon began helping first responders extricate everyday drivers from roadside accidents. #JawsOfLife #TrustedSolutions #ImprovingLives
