The Blackhawk Special Operations Breacher utilizes the newly redesigned tempered stainless steel wedge that features friction ridges on all contact surfaces that are counter-angled to the head. It is designed specifically to grip breaching surfaces securely, these counter-angled friction ridges also provides stability during breaching operations and prevent tool slippage. Safety-guard handgrips reduce the possibility of the operator's hands slipping onto the working end of the tool. It features an electrically non-conductive handle system which is resistant to 100,000 volts AC.
