Here is yet another cool use for the Halligan. Jeff just showed me this one. It’s so basic, but I had never seen it before. It’s a method to keep your saw in a safe place when performing roof ops. Burry the pick end into the roof decking with the saw hanging from the adz. Don’t forget saws and equipment should be hung on the unburned side of the roof operations out of your means of egress, but close enough for access. This method along with many others will be updated in the Tips from the Bucket section real soon. So many uses for a single tool, remember to think outside the box. -Jimm-
Echoing previous thoughts, very nice, basic but useful.
Another good function for the halligan is to do the same as the way you have it in the picture for working off of your roof ladder. It may be hard for me to describe but you place your roof ladder normally. Then you place your halligan bar perpendicular to the ladder and drive it into the roof with the halligan leaning on the ladder. You can then step on the haligan to get better traction while working. I am sure that many have heard of this before but I just figured I would add it any way. Be safe.

I used this tip today at a chimney fire and worked great. Keep the tips coming.
Stay Safe.
