Lukas Jaws of Life® introduced eDraulic 3.0®, taking its fastest and most powerful batterypowered extrication tools and making them faster, operational in both fresh and salt water. And now, it also features the smartest through a smart dashboard display, which provides operators with real-time feedback on tool status. “Lukas is continually evolving the Jaws of Life extrication tools to make first responders’ jobs safer, easier and more efficient and eDraulic 3.0 takes tool innovation to a whole new level,” said Jim Hamilton of Hamilton Hydraulics in South Africa.

“With the launch of E3, Lukas Jaws of Life has taken the fastest, most powerful tools in the industry and made them also the smartest, giving first responders an at-a-glance dashboard for tool performance that allows them to keep their focus on the patient,” said Hamilton.

“The tools can operate underwater to a depth of three metres with an operating time of 60 minutes on the 9Ah battery,” added Hamilton.

The Lukas E3 smart tool dashboard provides the tool operator with live, visual and easy-to-see tool feedback in three key areas: roll warnings, which assist the operator with cutter positioning; power level indicator, which alerts the user to real-time power level, so they can reposition the tool for another
