The 3rd Man. A simple, effective tool to reduce strain on your hose crews. Nobody ever said it was easy to control a high volume attack hose. There’s nothing to hold onto but the nozzle and the hose itself. So three men strain—to move it; to hold it in place; to ease the pressure on the nozzle man. Ever wished you could just get a handle on it? Now you can. Quickly. Easily. Anywhere you need it. Just loop the 3rd Man’s strong, welded non-abrasive, steel chain around the hose, slip the ring over the rounded end of the 30” bar, and twist until the chain is tight. Suddenly the hose is easier to control. And your men can conserve their energy for more critical tasks.

Advanced I-Beam fiberglass pole offers high strength, rigidity, unsurpassed visibility, and maximum control. The 3rd Man is made from the same advanced fiberglass pole stock used on Leatherhead Tools’ most durable firefighting hooks. The unique DogBone cross-section provides a secure grip and superior control no matter where it’s held, even with gloves, even when wet. It may seem like a simple tool, but it’s made to take years of hard use—important, because any tool made with a DogBone pole is difficult to lose. The brilliant fluorescent color is permanently molded into the fiberglass as the handles are pultruded in Leatherhead’s own manufacturing facility in Rockford, Illinois. Highly reflective inlays are bonded into the recessed sides of the pole, to make it shine under a flashlight beam when there’s no other light. It’s a simple, effective tool you can depend on having—and using daily—for years to come.
