:)The HiLift Jack is a rescue staple tool. They can be used for the obvious, lifting, pulling, crushing, etc. These are carried on every "certified" rescue apparatus in NC because of their versatility. I have personally carried one for about 15 years and have enjoyed great success with it for normal uses, and in place of other rescue appliances in their absence. Freed two in an interstate collision by popping the doors prior to arrival of a rescue company. Additionally, a device called a "JACK MATE" adds capability to an already versatile tool. JACK MATE are approx. $50.00 USD. Google search for a vendor.
If you carry tow straps and/or good grade chain along with a few basic hand tools you have a formidable capacity to handle many emergency events.
