SWAT break and rake tools

[MPDhundo54]

So for any operators out there or dudes that are creative with designing tools, my department is pretty strapped for cash but our team is without a break and rake type of entry tool similar to one blackhawk makes. Just seeing if anybody has a simple homemade design that people have used on their tac teams for breaking/clearing windows. I've seen things like retro-fitting an olympic weight bar with a couple inches of metel welded to the end for debris clearing....any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks, and watch your six...

Maybe check with your local FDs to see if they have any old or "extra" tools they'd be willing to part with.

Simple but effective

Seriously though, while is it nice to have all the speciality "tacti-cool" gear all you really need it what works. I'd look for a local cop-friendly welder and show him what you're looking to do.
