The Mini AJ Utility Hammer, by Clemenson Enterprises Inc. (CEI), is a tactical forcible entry tool that’s gotten some very good feedback so far by a number of federal, state, and city LE tactical (SWAT/SRT) and field units.

Linda Fox, marketing director/sales executive for Clemenson Enterprises Inc. (CEI), started selling to the law enforcement market about five years ago by asking questions about entry tools, and then offering departments an opportunity to field test CEI’s Mini AJ Utility Hammer. The knowledge gained from these organizations has helped to improve and refine/fine-tune this versatile tool. The field testing has provided an avenue to use the Mini AJ Utility Hammer in live situations before actually purchasing it, and has proven appealing to both CEI and it’s customers.

Here are some Mini AJ Utility Hammer aspects that are appreciated by customers (some of them customer quotes), provided to DefRev by Linda Fox (CEI):…

— The Mini AJ Utility Hammer is a one person operated tool making it safer to use.
