The Seattle Rapid Access Tool
An 11-function multipurpose tool designed to assist first responders in faster and more efficient passive entry. The Ultimate Passive Entry Tool The Seattle Rapid Access Tool (SEARAT) is designed to gain access to specific types of doors and latches widely used in both commercial and residential properties. However, it will take practice to be proficient at sizing-up doors to determine if this tool will be of use.
The Key Blade
Made for doors with latch guards installed where the loiding pin is either ineffective, not installed, or the strike plate is not installed properly. The Key Blade works particularly well on doors set in a metal frame with or without a latch guard in combination with the pry bar.
Window Breaker
The protruding corner of the Key Blade acts as a window breaker. The slim design provides a comfortable fit in the hand allowing for a more natural hammer swing.
Seatbelt Cutter
A double-bladed seatbelt cutter on the end of the tool allows for quick and effective cutting of the safety belt for victim removal.
O2 Wrench
An oxygen wrench in the center of the tool allows you to quickly spin open your standard medical oxygen tank.
Shove Knife
If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it. We included a standard shove knife for those who like the tried and true.
Hex Head Wrenches
The wrenches are useful on fencing where the hardware is accessible, chainsaw bar nuts that are outset, and car battery cables where the connection points are not obstructed.
Speed Square
Four separate angles are built into the Key Blade. Each setting gives you the ability to quickly cut your lumber with the appropriate angles in the construction of raker shores.
Gas Shut-Off Wrench
Always have the ability to secure the utilities. The SEARAT’s gas shut off wrench will work on commercial and residential gas meters.
Pry Bar
Used to separate the jam from the frame of inward swinging doors to gain access to the latch with the shove knife. It’s effective in gapping glass doors with lightweight metal frames and can be used to “Peel and Peek” behind moulding in car extrication to avoid cutting into problem areas.
Hex Head Wrenches
The wrenches are useful on fencing where the hardware is accessible, chainsaw bar nuts that are outset, and car battery cables where the connection points are not obstructed.
Ruler
The Key Blade has a quick reference ruler to help with cutting notches in lumber during construction of bracing in collapse rescue operations.
Lanyard
Connect the tool to your SCBA or gear with a retractable lanyard. Giving you the ability to drop-and-go as needed on emergency scenes, saving time.
*Disclaimer – We understand the possible implications of this tool, however, our tool is designed for passive entry in the hands of trained first responders; who would be the most beneficial users of this tool and would get the most use out of it for its intended purpose. Our tool is designed to gain access to areas like gated courtyards, lobbies, stairwells, sprinkler rooms, elevators, fire control rooms, and other mid-security areas. This makes it very beneficial to first responders but would not be of much use to the general public. This tool does require training and practice to get to a place of proficiency. Trained professionals who retain the training and expertise for proficiency in these types of situations will find great value in the use of our tool to cut down on time, resulting in property and lives saved.
