Abstract

A tool for cutting sheet metal, the tool comprising a shaft, a cutting blade, a blade holder coupled to a top end of the shaft and configured to retain the cutting blade. A handle is coupled to the bottom end of the shaft, opposite the blade holder. A sliding hammer including a through hole configured to engage the shaft is provided between the handle and blade holder. The tool may be used as an axe, wherein the cutting blade may be swung by a user to penetrate sheet metal. The slide hammer may be configured to slide manually up and down the shaft, striking components on either side of the tool and generating an impact force that facilitates cutting of sheet metal by the cutting blade. The tool may be used to open extraction points in a vehicle for first responders after a vehicular collision.
