Shieldspike LLC was founded in 2011.  Our mission was to create and offer new tools for law enforcement and military personnel that would facilitate safe and efficient breaching operations during critical situations.

The Shieldspike(TM) and the Hammerspike(TM) are two vehicle assault tools that were built out of operational necessity.  Traditionally, tactical teams use breaching tools that were never truly designed for dealing with tempered vehicle window glass.  These tools are efficient, easy to wield in the tactical environment and work seamlessly with ballistic shields.  The Shieldspike(TM) and Hammerspike(TM)  allow the operator to incorporate the protection that a ballistic shield has to offer with the technology to punch through vehicle windows.  They work wonderfully on arcadia glass doors too!

Ballistic shields are often viewed as a cumbersome rectangle that slows a team and is merely a defensive tool.  Here at Shieldspike LLC we couldn’t disagree more.  Attach a Shieldspike(TM) tool onto a ballistic shield or grab the nearest Hammerspike(TM) and you have an offensive system capable of creating a greater sphere of influence through rapid positive window penetration.

About Us

Shieldspike LLC was created by Christopher Trapp, a City of Phoenix police officer since 1996.  Mr. Trapp’s current assignment is on the department’s tactical team. These tools were created through several years of training and operational experience. Both the Shieldspike(TM) and Hammerspike(TM) are produced for Shieldspike LLC by Medford Knife and Tool.
