This essential emergency escape tool is a unique portable safety device to be kept on your keychain. The 2-in-1 escape tool can be used to break the car window and cut the seatbelt, allowing you to get out of your car swiftly in an emergency.
In case of an emergency, you can easily pull this tool from its clip on your keychain, freeing the sharp steel blade to cut any seatbelt easily and with minimal force. The steel spike on the escape tool can be used to break the window, allowing a swift escape from a vehicle in an emergency.
🚗 Additional Safety Information
Vehicle escape tools are designed to break tempered side windows, which are commonly fitted to vehicle side windows.
Some newer vehicles may have laminated glass fitted to certain side windows. Laminated glass contains a plastic interlayer that helps hold the glass together when broken and may not shatter in the same way as tempered glass.
If you’re unsure what type of glass your vehicle has, check the markings in the corner of the side windows. They will typically indicate whether the glass is TEMPERED or LAMINATED.
Knowing your vehicle is part of being prepared.
