What unique feature does the J tool have related to doorways?

The J tool is specifically designed to manipulate and open double doors equipped with panic bars. Its unique shape allows it to fit between the space of the two doors, which is particularly important when attempting to gain access in emergency situations where time is crucial. The design facilitates opening the door without the need for direct contact with the panic bar, enabling firefighters to quickly and safely enter a building.

This characteristic is vital in emergency scenarios where other tools might be too bulky or not specifically designed for such applications. The flexibility to operate between tightly placed double doors makes the J tool an essential part of a firefighter's toolkit for access and rescue operations.
