Clint Goode and Isaiah Hittle of Wichita FD going bar to bar on our Craftsman II door prop. This is a great example of using pool cueing to strike in confined spaces. Also notice how the flexibility of the door panel forces them to work their way up to the lock, just like a real door.

Did you know you lose 2/3rds of your force when pool-cueing untuned vs tuned forks? You would if you take our Forcible Entry Physics course and test it on our custom built 100k lb impact load cell. You’ll also find our optimal striking angles, best practice technique, and what the real performance differences are between the tools on the market.

Forcible Entry Physics - 8 hour program

Welcome to the weeds. In this 16hr hands-on class, we'll delve into the details on every aspect of conventional irons work. Learn the physies and physiology in depth, then put it into practice with an array of accelerometers, load cells, cameras, and more, measuring every aspect of the force with real time feedback. Challenge assumptions and dogma with data, and come away with hard answers, not opinions. Test and prove a huge variety of tools and techniques, from the common to the obscure. Find what you are capable of under real stress. Course includes 3 hours of lecture and 13 hours of hands-on lab work.

Delivered by: Tradesman Fire Cadre

Tradesman Fire’s Andrew Pristach and Matt Henry going bar-on-bar our Craftsman II door prop at FDIC 2026. Notice how the realistic door flex makes you have to deliberately work your way to the lock.
