3:41 When I was in the 101st our hooligan tool came in a purpose built carrier that included the sledge and boltcutter. It was like a big backpack that had all the important bits in a padded section and the handles sticking out. It's really heavy and not as practical as your guy's setup, but they did exist, and some poor grunt had to carry it on their back.
Thats essentially what our swat commander ordered for the team i work on. It held a ram, sledge, hooli, and bolt cutters. It got worn once and now it just stays on the van and we carry our shit on approach.
My opinion being in the FD ..I believe that if you guys had bar that only had the Adz and Forked end of a bar that was 20 inches, it would be all you guys needed with a 8lb Sledge .
Found this interesting. In the fire department we deployed many of the same setup. I just wanted to ad a ramset gun will blast out most paddle locks. It's cheap, quick and will work on a variety of things.
Adapt, improvise and overcome. I love the ingenuity that you guys come up with to accomplish your missions. I'm sorry for what it did to your bodies. Great Video!!!
The Halligan tool is made of one single piece of metal and the Hooligan tool has 3 specific parts assembled together. This build-structure makes the halligan bar set apart from the hooligan tool even though they are pretty much identical. The second factor is the size and weight of the tools. The third factor is the different uses of the tools. And finally the quality check of the tools.
This was a highly welcomed and informative video. Even though majority of us will never have to use or learn breaching its still very interesting to learn about this subject. Thank you for making this and sharing your previous lives with us.
As one of those firemen out there, it’s NOT a Haligan! It’s a HOOLIGAN bar because it’s not one single forged piece! A haligan is a single piece of forged metal, a hooligan is anything else.
This is good for me, the only time I have had to "breach" a door was when I locked myself out drunk from my own house. The "tools" included my shoulder and 250 pounds, lol. I own shove knives and a simple lock pick set but I never seem to have them when I need to get in my house.
Glad i watched all to the end. Thumbtacks got it, used to teach this stuff and that's a new one, although we used to screws for the same purpose, and they work on mud walls.
Hypothetical question: could you put little tape wings out to each side of the 15 both top and bottom, and use a staple gun to put those wings to a heavy wood door, or even a metal door if the staple gun were strong enough? Or would that be too much noise in your opinion? It seems logical if everything else is already hooked together, it could be extremely fast and create a very small window of exposure, but with a little bit of noise.
I was a smoke eater before the Marine Corps and I always called it a hooligan but most of the guys at my department were former military, I got a 36-inch one myself I've never seen one that extends though that's badass
I will probably never use some most of the skills discussed in your video. But still watched EVERY SECOND. what I find is it gets me thinking outside my civilian mind mindset box. I appreciate your hard earned wealth of experience and your passion with sharing it with us. WELL DONE.
When we deployed in 04, there was one set of hooligan tools for the entire company. For us the tool was a halligan, the kit was hooligan tools. Well since there was one one set of breach tools for the company, we had to figure out other ram solutions. We weren’t breaching with charges. Well we had just laid a bunch of concertina wire. I took the picket pounder proved the concept to my Platoon sgt, and for every raid I did from then on out, I carried that picket pounder. We even got one of the Blackhawk rams an I still used it. It was heavier so it worked with the gates and would shatter the wooden doors. For quieter entry like multiple hits in the same area, we would carry “siege ladders” basically 2x4 ladders that were about 4 ft tall. We used them to climb over the courtyard walls.
Hey Coch, fantastic video as usual, ya'll do quality content. do have any idea when ya'll will have tee shirts again? I've been wanting one with the Hyve logo and American flag on the sleeve. Thanks in advance
Btw in firefighting We call our modified ones hooligans. Basically so nobody gets it confused with the legit or proper Tool. some mods change what it can be used for. It’s just a safety thing. So someone doesn’t expect it to do X when it’s incapable of doing X after modifications.
The difference between tactical and tacticool is really as simple as zip ties and duct tape. You can always tell who wears their gear for the camera and who has actually carried 80 lbs. of shit all day every day through a deployment. Start paying a little more attention to the guys with simple and ugly gear solutions to problems you didn't even know existed because your top priority is color coordination.
Very nice video. My late father was an Arson Investigator and Explosives engineer for the state of California. In fact he wrote the state certifications test for Explosives. He was sent to some interesting classes including some that were LEO/SWAT oriented. The ammount of math that can go into a breach is interesting. As for myself I have worked Demolitions and Remodeling. Sometimes you encounter locked doors that need to be opened. One of the more fun jobs was prepping an abandoned hospital for demolitions. As the building was no longer in active use the security was an issue. I had a co-worker ran out of the building with a guy armed with a machete hot on his heels. I didn't get to breach any doors with a shotgun( The local SWAT Team got to do that) However I did have to pry or bash open a few doors that the key had disappeared or was not working. There is an art to opening up a door without a key and it is a skill.
This video is so needed for the eavry day american hope to see a follow up on more explosive breaching techniques but thanks for making this type of content after 7 years in the army we covered this only like 4 times good stuff to know
Great video as a conventional Army MPP, did SWAT/ERT and then did in as a local LEO was a Breacher . Great video , I did so much trial and error , this video would have been great and would have sped me up and wouldn’t make so many Bloopers.
Great stuff. Would love a followup jaut talking about each breeching method, as well as pre-roll planning and common fuckups and injuries and their avoidance.
Magnets on/in my carrier pouches are a great way to secure (metal pew pew) items from wiggling around away from the attachment point, loop on breaching shorty.
I was wondering if you could do a video of the evolution of rifles that the SEALs have used from their inception until current times? I, and pretty sure many others, would certainly appreciate and learn some history on all the different rifles that have been issued throughout history. I would like to know what rifles were issued when they were first commissioned. Was it the m14? What about the the CAR (or whatever variant) in Viet Nam? I just think that history and knowledge would make for a great video.
Citizens should have the right to own breaching charges. The only things that should be illegal are those not in common use on the battlefield. Things like chemical, biological, or nuclear. When the country was founded, people could own warships that had enough firepower to level whole cities. They would then hire privateers to man said ship. We have had our rights neutered. They will soon take everything away from us.

Coch and Dorr are my favorite combo! The time range of experience that they bring together is super interesting!
Me too
Dorr and Coch! Two of my very favorite YT celebrities! Good job gents!
My opinion being in the FD ..I believe that if you guys had bar that only had the Adz and Forked end of a bar that was 20 inches, it would be all you guys needed with a 8lb Sledge .
And now I finally understand the haligan vs hooligan...finally
Love the longer videos with these two true legends sharing knowledge
These 2 are slowly becoming my favorite gun tubers
Found this interesting. In the fire department we deployed many of the same setup. I just wanted to ad a ramset gun will blast out most paddle locks. It's cheap, quick and will work on a variety of things.
Never would have th of that for force entry. Have you used on on scene?
Adapt, improvise and overcome. I love the ingenuity that you guys come up with to accomplish your missions. I'm sorry for what it did to your bodies. Great Video!!!
I'll never need to know or use any of this but I'll never stop watching it lol. Keep up the amazing content!
Neat, I liked the mental images you drew up when sharing how you'd use each breaching tool!

I was on the wrong end of a breaching tool. It was called a " sledgeomatic" . First row at a Gallagher show. Circa 1976

Spare keys
This was so cool!

Great combo! Love it guys thank you!
Where can you get those retractable hooligans? I've been looking for a while.
Really learned something, enjoyed, thanks
I hope Coch is doing well health wise
God Bless you guys !
10:32
Beaching shotgun... yeeeees! 11:12
Has Dorr been breached?
Once in college.
Great info
Imagine the poor bastard who had to get off the boat with a concrete cutter on his back
Those collapsable tools are wickedly expensive if you can even buy them as a civvie
Hypothetical question: could you put little tape wings out to each side of the 15 both top and bottom, and use a staple gun to put those wings to a heavy wood door, or even a metal door if the staple gun were strong enough?

Man them dewalt disaster saws are handy…
Where do you get one of the pouches for the sledge?
Best combo in the game lol.

12 ga magician
Who makes that hooligan? I’ve never seen a collapsible one.
Shit ton of good info
No juggernaut helmet?
Is Dutch coming back or is he out?
He’s around. We’ll be seeing him this summer.
I know it was more of a red team kind of thing but any plan to talk about tomahawks ? Blame Jack Carr if you want...
👏👏
are the both ex devgru?
If the hooligan tool doesnt represent military grade I dont know what else I can do for you.
👍👍👍
Yeshua is Lord ☦🇺🇸🦅
Amen
A video over 20 mins with Coch and Dorr = I click and watch. Thanks guys!
I was a smoke eater before the Marine Corps and I always called it a hooligan but most of the guys at my department were former military, I got a 36-inch one myself I've never seen one that extends though that's badass
I absolutely love this duo, the amount and variety of experience they both bring to the table is amazing.
I will probably never use some most of the skills discussed in your video. But still watched EVERY SECOND. what I find is it gets me thinking outside my civilian mind mindset box. I appreciate your hard earned wealth of experience and your passion with sharing it with us. WELL DONE.
I personally use a truck for breaching. Makes a bigger entrance.
3:58 to 4:15 clipped and taken out of context is pure gold
me and the homies

Thanks for the free, high quality content.
Coch and Dorr are great sharing their experiences on a myriad of subjects.
Funny as a Retired Army Firefighter, I always called the Halligan a Houligan Touligan. Always thought Halligan sounded lame.

That's a great way to recycle an old ALICE pouch. One never stops learning with you, guys.

Carried a breaching shotgun on VBSS in the Persian Gulf in the 2010s.
Breachers lead the way
Great vid. Hand signals would be a cool video.
Very interesting guys.
Great stuff. Would love a followup jaut talking about each breeching method, as well as pre-roll planning and common fuckups and injuries and their avoidance.
No grappling hook?? or Hatchet..
Been waiting for a breaching breakdown. Great vid🤙
Man this video is FREAKING COOL
Im adding pvc to my blackhawk breeacher tool pouch asap.
Guys wanna talk about knife fighting and going for "the knife kill" meanwhile you're carrying around a halligan bar 😂 it can breach bad guys too
I don’t even run an optic to keep weight down. I definitely ain’t carrying a sledgehammer with me.
Bomb??? Bad dudes make bombs Good dudes make charges look
If you're getting room service from these guys, you made poor life choices.
In the UK we call it the the Hooli(Hooligan) and MOE
Chicago police use the halligan tool all the time we called it the chicago bar I executed a lot of warrants using one
GD someone needed to break out the Aervoe on that Stihl saw 😂😂
God bless America
What belt holster was that
Stay wrong! My new motto!
Good shit boys
Magnets on/in my carrier pouches are a great way to secure (metal pew pew) items from wiggling around away from the attachment point, loop on breaching shorty.

Conducted and taught explosive breaching for a few years, guaranteed entry every time! Love this type of content.
Love me the Halligan bar. Use to be on the fire dept, they work. Of course ours didn't expand.
Great video. Straight forward, right to the point with the explanations on each tool/item.
Scary how lovely these two men are but we know how deadly they are 🤣🤣🤣
thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us!! great tools to have on hand too!!
You can do a bunch of activities with a 8lb sledge
I always enjoy your little talks.
Thank you!
I think of the sledge more like an exit/entry tool. Sometimes you need to make a door.
No!
Mossberg, 00 Buck.
It gets the job done!
Awesome now want to hear about being a grenadier.
You guys are a wealth of knowledge!
What about the Defco Breach Pen?
Back to China lake boys
Thanks Coch and Dorr! :) :us
These dudes a awesome😆😎
