Question 1

Can it cut log

Accepted Answer

It is half tomahawk and half axe. Not quite either one. It can cut a log but your hands will be aching pretty bad from using it to cut a log. It can tear open doors pry open drop doors and vehicle hood and trunks/boots. I even buried mine in a guy's head once and it went straight through the top of his head, out his bottom jaw and into his sternum.  But using it to do anything but breaching and killing is not advisable, it really is just  a raid and murder tool after all. I would  suggest buying a small hatchet if you are needing to baton camp fire wood or an axe for splitting logs and copping down trees. Search for "camping axe" or "camping hatchet". Tomahawks are for slaying people.

Question 2

Is it made in China?

Accepted Answer

The box it came in said it was made in USA. But no where on the tool itself is it stamped. I bought a Gerber knife also and it was marked Made in CHINA on that box.

Question 3

Does anyone carry this as a breaching tool on duty? i'm an leo looking for feedback on it's usefullnes as a breaching tool.

Accepted Answer

Carried it with narcotics and swat. One of those tools that you don’t need until you do. Takes a beating however draws a lot of attention from the public. Crow bar decent fixed blade knife etc will work.

Question 4

How good is this for 1st responders?

Accepted Answer

I have been a paramedic for 8 yrs. I own one of these. It is an awesome tool! I must admit though that I have only used it twice at work. Both times I used it as a pry tool to open a problematic side door on an ambulance. I own the gerber down range tomahawk too and had it on hand as well but choose the Ding Dong because it required a lot of force to pry the metal door open and I was afraid I might bend the slimmer tomahawk. It worked great! Outside of work I used it once to help my fiancÃÂ©. She was moving out of her house to move in with me and she locked herself out of her place. Again I used the Ding Dong as a pry tool to open the door. It easily pushed the door open. I was able to gain access to the residence without badly damaging the door frame.The hammer end is great too. Only really used it smash up a lot of no good old furniture though.The handle rings are great and do help you to not slip. The cuts in the hammer head do give it some bite but don't expect it to just rip chunks out of whatever you hit.All in all, I think it is a great entry tool for light to medium doors. Heavy duty doors and especially thick metal doors will probably give you some trouble and take more work/effort. Be careful trying to beat in something ridiculous solid. I took a swing at a piece of solid old school wood for furniture, a dresser, and it bounced off and damn near hit my head. I felt the handle touch my hair. Could have cracked my skull. So be careful, you can tear down house walls and can bust rocks and cinder block with it but it is not the hammer of Thor.I think it is a great entry tool. If you are PD or do a lot of door breaching it is awesome. As a paramedic I really don't do any door breaching at all. If I did this would be a "go to" tool. Most days though, it sits on the floor of my truck or ambulance and is just a fun "overkill" tool for simple tasks.
