The Biel Tool incorporates many features found in the famous Paratech Pry-Axe, but is much smaller at 15 in. (38.1 cm) long in its closed position and 19 in. (48.3 cm) extended and light enough, 3.3 lbs (1.5 kg) to wear on a belt, or to carry in the pocket of a bunker coat. The Biel is constructed of alloy steel forgings, heat treated for maximum strength and durability, and chrome plated or with an electroless nickel finish for easy maintenance.
