History
The OH Parachutist is a close ancestor to the Rescue Tool, and was originally known as the Rescuer. When the Rescue Tool was introduced, the Rescuer appears to have been withdrawn from the marketplace. It reappeared in North America in 2010 as the OH Parachutist at several dealers, and based on pricing and general availability, it is likely the manufacturer was clearing out remaining stock as the Dual Pro model offered similar functionality. It is now (2017) fully retired.
