Which other tool(s) is/are needed, if any, with a K-tool?

A K-tool is primarily designed for gaining access to locked doors by creating an opening in a door's lock cylinder. However, it works best when used in conjunction with additional tools that assist in effectively performing forcible entry.

Utilizing a pry bar allows firefighters to manipulate or further open the access point created by the K-tool, making it easier to gain entry into a structure. The flathead axe can also be utilized for various purposes, such as breaking windows or doors, as well as for prying. Together, these tools enhance the functionality of the K-tool by allowing for a more versatile approach in forcible entry scenarios.

While a clamping tool can be beneficial in specific situations, it does not typically enhance the K-tool's effectiveness in the context of forcible entry as directly as the combination of a pry bar and flathead axe. Therefore, having both the pry bar and flathead axe on hand when using a K-tool improves operational efficiency and effectiveness in gaining access.
