Mini Halligan Tool (Training & Display)

This Mini Halligan Tool is a 3D-printed scale model of the classic firefighter breaching tool – compact, sturdy, and fun to use.

The model is about 29 cm in length (approx. 1:3 scale) and comes in three parts that are printed separately and assembled afterwards. The top end features a toothed connection ring, which locks the shaft securely in place and ensures correct alignment during assembly.

Usage

• Works as a display piece or collectible for anyone into rescue & firefighting gear.
• Can also be used for dry-training together with a standard firefighter wedge.
• Not intended for heavy use – this is a scale model, not a full-strength tool.

Assembly

• Insert the threaded insert:
  • Before attaching the blade aand claw, melt in an M4 threaded insert at the top of the shaft.
• Prepare the claw:
  • The claw end of the shaft uses a simple printed thread.
  • Screw the claw piece onto the shaft until it is tight.
• Assemble the blade:
  • Slide the blade piece onto the top of the shaft.
  • Use the toothed alignment ring to ensure correct positioning.
• Fix the blade:
  • Secure the blade with an M4x10 countersunk screw from above.
• Finished!
  • Your mini Halligan tool is now ready for display or dry-training use.

⚠️ Note: The M4 threaded insert is optional.
If you don’t want to melt in the insert, you can simply glue the blade onto the shaft with super glue. This works fine for display use but is less durable compared to the screw/insert method.
