Hurst Jaws of Life has expanded its rescue tool offerings to include a quality system for those who prefer a mineral oil-based rescue set operating at higher pressures than the classic Jaws of Life. CENTAUR Rescue tools are not simply brand “X” compatible products. It is a group of superior life saving equipment that can stand on its own features, benefits and performance. Now you can have your choice of rescue systems depending on your requirements. When performance counts, count on CENTAUR Tools.

• Fast Operation: The multifunction of the tools, the high performance of the power units, and the intelligent technology of the patented Auto-Switch valve reduces set up time and speeds up rescue operations.

• Designed-in comfort: Standard stargrip control is extremely precise and sensitive, allowing for comfortable non-tiring operation with the thumb and forefinger. No need to twist your wrist. Access is easy in any position, even in overhead operations.

• Compact size: CENTAUR Tools require little room in rescue vehicles.

• Maximum safety:

  For the user: All moving parts are protected in order to prevent object from getting caught.

  For the victim: Spreader tips, cutter blades, ram ends that bite and allow precise operation.

  Tool safety features: All components have built-in safety valves that activate in the event of operator error, overload, or interruption of power. All tools have hydraulic hoses with a 4:1 safety factor.
