This shield is quality built and appears to be ready to hold up for years to come. JP uses two 8/9 oz. pieces of leather on their fronts. Mine has recessed areas which are stamped and hand painted. I couldn't be more pleased with the design and quality of this helmet front!

While this may not be the first right angle light offered to the fire service, it is certainly one of the better ones because it is lightweight and offers many more options with the tilting head, downward floodlight, strobe, etc. 

The unique craftsmanship that stands out with HedgesLeather is the recessed parts on the helmet. Like it is routed out by a leather CMC machine. It really helps the focus remain on the middle which shows off whatever you want it to. In this case, it is a rendering of the Fire Critic Challenge Coin.

This is a thorough book detailing everything you need for unwritten interviews. The 110 page paperback includes time-frames, practice, and much more for for the candidate to go through whether you are practicing to get hired or even promoted.

The Capt. Jim Spentex Fire Hood offers firefighters tremendous durability and a high level of protection against intense heat and flames.

For me, the reason for carrying a set of Channellock rescue tools is two-fold. I always have some cutters on me in a time of need (whatever that might be (including a spanner wrench). The other main reason is we run a lot of car wrecks. One of my roles at wrecks is to assess the vehicles involved and disconnect the battery if need be. My cutters come in handy if I cannot reach the terminals to loosen them, I simply cut the wire to get the job done quickly.

I just finished a product review on several of the Black Jack Helmet Flashlight Holders. You can view it on our site FireProductReview.com. Check it out and check out the other product reviews. You can rate the products as well!

This process of creating the new site has been long and worthwhile. I first thought of wanting to do reviews back in 2006, I began them 5 years later...and now the stand alone web site. The main reason why I moved the reviews to a separate site was because of feedback wanting more information and more reviews.
