Which tool is an example of a pulling tool?

  1. Flat head axe

  2. Halligan

  3. Sheetrock rake

  4. Sledge hammer

The correct answer is: Sheetrock rake

The correct choice showcases a tool primarily used for pulling. The sheetrock rake is specifically designed to assist with the removal of sheetrock or drywall from a wall or ceiling. Its long handle and hooked end allow firefighters to hook onto material and pull it down, making it effective for tasks that require displacing or pulling away debris. In contrast, the flat head axe and the sledge hammer are predominantly cutting and striking tools used in forcible entry or demolition. They do not serve the primary function of pulling. The Halligan tool, while versatile and effective for prying and leveraging, is not primarily classified as a pulling tool, even though it can be used in some pulling applications. Thus, the sheetrock rake is the only tool listed that is specifically tailored for pulling operations.
