A vintage forced entry firefighting silver steel chrome metal multi-tool pry bar/crowbar Hux Bar and claw hydrant wrench. Just below the head is a stamped manufacturer mark that reads "HUXBAR." The head of the tool is round and oval shaped. In the round part of the head are two (2) holes. The top hole is a square diamond shape and the bottom hole is pentagon shaped. These holes serve as a fire hydrant adapter and a gas shutoff adapter. The top hole fits a one (1) inch (four (4) point) square hydrant nuts. The bottom hole fits a one and a half (1.5) inch pentagon (five (5) point) hydrant nut. On top of this rounded part of the head is a small two (2) prong pry bar or crowbar that is wedge-shaped. The interior of both prongs has slight round indents.  On the other/opposite end of the Hux Bar has a curved and pointed pry tip. This end was used to open manholes.
