I’m assuming you are referring to the Roof Pro-Bar. I personally like the standard 30 Pro-Bar because the links welded to the shaft don’t get in the way if you need to strike the shoulders of the fork for forcible entry. I do like a chain link welded to the handle of the hook so that the Pro-Bar forks straddle the link and allows the hook and halligan to marry. I am planning on making a video on how to marry the tools in this manner soon. I hope this helps.

What is the purpose of the firefighter at 4:00 hitting the door with the haligan? Weakening the door?

By hitting the door where he did he pushes the metal in a bit and creates what we call a purchase point (basically a gap so the tool can fit in). I know it's a little late for a reply, but saw this and figured it may help.

because it is a metal door he hits it so that the metal will pull back enough to get the wedge of his halligan into the crack so he can leverage it open.

pattycake350 it dents the outer skin of the door, which pulls it away from the jamb slightly and creates a little bit more of a gap to get the adz in place. it also shocks the door and any locks to possibly loosen them up a little.
