A 12 year towman asked one day why it was that an axe was kept on board the tow truck as he had never used one on a car in his whole career. This is one of those tools that has been kept on tow trucks since back in the day that the tow truck operator was used to assist in extricating victims from crashed vehicles. These days Firefighters have mechanical equipment such as the well known "jaws of life" that make taking apart a vehicle a very easy task. Still the common axe is typically stored on the tow truck and could still have many uses in the modern tow truck industry.
