Received from spark review This handy tool can save your life if your car or in a car that you need to escape from. I saw this handy tool in a tv show and was amazed of its usefulness. It is very small and can attach to any keychain or comes with a ziptie to hang from your mirror. It can cut through a seat belt with its sharp blade or shatter a glass window with it sharp point. Comes with an informational manual. I haven't used it yet (thank God) but I have seen it in use.
I recieved the resqme Quick Car Escape Tool Seatbelt Cutter and Window Breaker in Neon. I have had a few different brands of these over the years. The Resqme has to be my favorite! Luckily, I have never had the need to use any quick escape tool. Simply knowing I have it is good enough for me. The Resqme is definitely the lightest, most compact quick escape tool I have ever had, it even comes with it's own keychain so you'll always have it in your car, exactly where its needed. I love the simple yet effective design, it doesn't add much bulk or weight to my keys. It is definitely a conversation starter about safety and peace of mind. At least once a week someone asks me what this brightly colored device is that I carry around. I highly recommend the Resqme to anyone but especially to new or inexperienced drivers. My father gave me one when I got my first car along with explaining how to use it. I believe having an emergency plan in place incase of submersion is extremely important and will help you keep calm in an actual submerged situation. I will not go anywhere without my Resqme.

I received the resqme quick car escape tool, seatbelt cutter & window breaker this week. The instructions say to cut my seat belt first with the resqme cutter if I cannot unbuckle, then break corner of my side window with the black part of the resqme tool if I cannot roll your window down. I am to push the black head firmly into the corner of the side widow until the spike releases. I decided to test it on a note pad to see how it works. Let me tell you, you need to press really, really hard to get the spike to release. In fact, the way I got it to release was to grasp the device inside my fist, and pound it down on the note pad as hard as I could to get the spike to release. I imagine if you are in an emergency situation, you would grab the tool just like that and do a quick jab naturally anyway, but it is always great to test it out on something first to see how much pressure you need. The spike went down into the notepad almost an inch. Per instructions, it will only break tempered glass. On the bottom right corner of my vehicle window, there is writing that identifies my window glass as tempered. I understand that most all vehicles have an identification as to what type of glass is installed. If not, your dealership would know. I have always wanted one of these because I actually have a niece that was driving on a road along a lake when it was raining out and she hydroplaned pretty far into the lake. She was in the water quicker than she had time to think and barely made it out of the car before it sank 15 feet down. I feel much safer knowing I have a tool to assist me it cutting my way out of my seat belt if it were stuck and/or breaking my widow if would not roll down. The resqme quick car escape tool is a simple, inexpensive, but valuable emergency tool that everyone should have a in their vehicle, just in case!
It's small. Just a couple inches long. It comes with a thing to attach it to mirror or your keyring. It has a safety razor block thing that is nice, but if you don't have a good grip it can be hard to pull but using leverage if it's hanging on mirror or once attached to key ring it's easier. The glass breaker works smooth, and quick. I used it on a pill bottle top, and it's pictured. Cracked it easy. It's small enough to fit in purse, or glove box ( but might be hard to reach if it's there). I plan on leaving mine in middle console of car with other safety things. It's bright colored so that it should be easy to see and find, even in the dark. Nice little tool that could save your life.
This is a difficult product to test obviously. I did test the cutter on cardboard and thin rug. It is sharp enough. Of course, didn't test it on my seat belt, but am confident it will work. I watched the videos on how to use the window tool. Again, not easy to test, but video tests showed it worked well. This is a worthwhile tool to keep with you in the car. Accidents happen often and always good to be prepared. I find it a bit bulky for my keychain, so will be adding a kind of lanyard at hanging it on rearview mirror. It's an emergency tool and hopefully won't get used, but good idea to have around with other emergency items. . . first aid kit and small fire extinguisher, which I keep in car.
First off, I love the design of this tool. Many of these products are designed to go into your glove compartment, but with this product you can put it on your keyring and this makes it easily accessible if you need it.To test the functionality, I gathered a couple of old garments and tested the blade used for cutting a seatbelt. The garments I tested this with aren't as rigid as the material of a seatbelt, but with how easily it cut through them, I don't doubt that it could cut through a seatbelt with ease. To test the window punch, I used an old window off of our porch that was in the garage and it shattered it instantly as stated.This is something you hope you never have to use but I think everyone should definitely have one,it could potentially save your life and others.
This resqme seatbelt cutter and window breaker is very small, about 2 1/2 inches and very light too. It's a great size to keep on you at all times, on your purse, in your purse or on your keychain which is what I did with it. My old one is 4 times the size of this one, I usually keep in my car but this resqme one can be with me always so even if I am in another car I could have it on me. The cutter works great for cutting, but I can't say about the window breaker, thankfully I have not had any reason to use it. I am a bit skeptical as to how well it will work to break windows considering how small it is. Also will I be able to hold it good since it's so small and will I end up hurting myself on the window. All and all I am happy with it and will carry with me in case of emergency. Hopefully I will never need it.
This is a very small tool. It has 2 features, a seatbelt cutter and a window breaker. The feature to cut seatbelts is hard to see but it is in the middle of the tool. Because the blade is so small it's unknown to me exactly how long it would take to cut a belt, which alarms me in case of a real emergency where time would be your enemy. The other feature at the end of this tool looks like a push button and it's black color stands out against the neon green body. Supposedly you jab this against the window breaking it. Now I don't have a spare seatbelt to try and cut or a car window to verify if both features work which is why I only gave it 3 stars unfortunately. But it's small enough to keep with you at all times or tucked away safely in your car. I must tell you though it's made of plastic, very light and feels cheap. Also the headrest in all cars are made to be pulled up and out and are to be used to break windows in case of emergency.
The Resqme Quick Car Escape Tool comes in an assortment of bright neon colors (mine was yellow), which makes it easy to spot on one's keychain (attached by the included split ring) or hanging from one's rear-view mirror (attached by the included zip tie). The ring or zip tie connect to a hole at the top of a clip which protects the very sharp "seatbelt cutter" blade (like a utility knife; my adult daughter offered the end of a strap on her laptop backpack for testing purposes, and the blade easily cut off the end of the strap). The black button at the other end of the Resqme is to be pressed against the car window firmly until a sharp metal point protrudes, which (from the manual) looks like it can then be used to cut open the car window. I needed my adult daughter's help to test the Resqme, however, because I was unable to remove the clip protecting the "seatbelt cutter" blade; my daughter was able to remove the clip, but it required a great deal of strength to do so -- something which might not be feasible in a stressful emergency situation when access to that blade would be most useful. As to the "window breaker" button, since we didn't have any spare glass to test that part on (and would have had to do some digging to fetch the goggles & thick gloves recommended for testing purposes), my daughter attempted striking the "window breaker" button against the paneled wall of her bedroom. She was able to get the metal tip of the "window breaker" button to pop out; however, given that motorists aren't likely to have goggles on hand in an emergency situation (and would only have thick gloves on during the winter months), we were concerned that breaking open a car window with this small device would be likely to cause glass shards to be propelled about the interior of the car, causing further injuries beyond whichever ones might have been caused by the accident which one would presumably have just been involved in. If this product were to be redesigned for easier use in emergency conditions, I would recommend replacing the hard-to-remove hard plastic clip with a soft but sturdy rubber or silicone sleeve for the Resqme (similar to a soft case for a smartphone, or a sheath for a knife). Until that is done, however, I unfortunately cannot recommend the Resqme to anyone other than young, physically fit drivers who are confident that they have the strength to get this device open, even in the emergency situations when it would be most needed.
