Original Emergency Keychain Car Escape Tool, Army Green

he Resqme emergency keychain is small but incredibly practical. The 2-in-1 design — with a seatbelt cutter and window breaker — gives peace of mind knowing you have a tool that could make a real difference in an emergency. The bright safety yellow color makes it easy to spot, and the keychain design means it’s always within reach. It feels sturdy and well-made, and the spring-loaded window breaker works with minimal effort, while the blade is sharp enough to cut through a seatbelt quickly if needed. Having a pack of two is a great bonus — one for each car or to keep a spare in a bag. For anyone concerned about safety on the road, this is an essential, reliable, and easy-to-carry tool.

I wish all vehicles came installed with something similar to the original LifeHammer installed in them from the factory just so everyone has the safety benefit of this little device with them any time they are in their car. Unfortunately, we don't all get free ResQMes or Lifehammers with the purchase of a new vehicle, however I've been recommending the ResQMe keychain to all of my friends and family members. I thoroughly believe I'm not exaggerating when I say this device has the potential to save your life or the life of another driver or passenger. Consider this short story: You are driving your vehicle and before you realize what's happened your vehicle is now in a body of water (for whatever reason, be it fatigue, texting while driving, etc.) next to the formerly peaceful highway you were driving on. Vehicles sink fast and stay sunk. Your car is beginning to sink, and water's beginning to rise above the top of the vehicle. You can't break any of the windows with your hands or by kicking them. You remember your cousin, who is a police officer, gave you a dinky bright yellow little keychain one Christmas (and/or other annual holiday of your choosing) that you threw on your keyring to make him happy and haven't thought about since. That keychain is the ResQMe. You remember it had a spring loaded window punch, and press it against the glass beside you, which is now thoroughly covered by water. The pane of safety glass shatters. You take a few gulps of air, hold your breath, and dive into the water that's rushing into your vehicle and make it out with only a few cuts and bruises. If you ever had to use this tool it probably wouldn't be quite that poetic, however it does have the potential to get you out of some serious situations. It's useful for any time windows on your vehicle needs to be broken so you can escape. This could, potentially, be after a collision, or like in the example above if you vehicle was submerged in water, or if your vehicle was on fire and you couldn't escape through a door for whatever reason. It also has a seat belt cutter, which is also useful in any situation where you're unable to unlatch the safety belt, be it water, fire, collision, etc. I probably wouldn't recommend the ResQMe for first responders, firefighters, police officers, etc. for on the job use, since you'd want something a little larger and heavy duty. The tools is fairly small, so it may be cumbersome in thick gloves, for example. That being said, from my experiences this tool has been quite tough. I've thrown mine, stepped on it, and sat on it. It shows no indication that it's ready to fail. For the average person, this is something you need. For a first responder, it's an excellent backup. The window punch is self-resetting and appears that it can stand up to numerous uses. The seatbelt cutter also appears that it would hold up after quite a few uses as well. The ResQMe keychain is, for the most part, small enough to keep on your key ring without it causing a problem. It doesn't add significant weight to your keys. You will know that you've put it on your key ring, but perhaps that can serve as a reminder that it's available if you ever need it. The yellow (which is the only color I have experience with) is bright and fairly easy to see. Personally, because this is an emergency tool, I want it to stand out. It comes in other colors as well for those who have different tastes. The colors I recall are, aside from the yellow, green, orange, pink, blue, and black. If you drive, you need to have an escape plan for vehicle emergencies. That could be the original LifeHammer, this wonderful keychain, or another company's product. The ResQMe is the best escape tool I've found in my searching because it fits on a key ring easily, feels sturdy, and has two tools (the seatbelt cutter and window punch). It's fairly compact, and because I always have my keys with me, the ResQMe is always along with me as well. This weird looking key chain is up there with CPR (and a CPR mask) in how essential it is. It's something you pray to never have to use, but you'll feel good knowing you're prepared. Bottom line: Anyone who drives needs one.

This is well made tool considering the price. During my years in law enforcement I have owned and used a variety of car rescue tools but none that were this compact and easy to carry. When I received this tool I went to the local junk yard and was allowed to test the tool on a couple of cars. The glass breaking tool works really well. I do recommend that you use gloves when breaking glass, if possible. The side windows were pretty easy to break and I cleared the glass from the frame pretty quickly. The windshield was a very different story. Because the windshield is much thicker and a somewhat different kind of safety glass than the side windows I had to break the glass in several places until the broken glass was flexable and then I peeled the glass from the windshield frame. This took quite a bit of time, approximately 30-45 minutes. In my experience, you will rarely need to break the windshield to rescue someone who is trapped in a car. The seatbelt cutter resembles an envelope opener. When I used it to cut the seatbelts the cutter went through the seatbelt material quickly and cleanly for the first half dozen seatbelts that I cut. After that the cutter started to snag a bit and it was harder to pull the cutter through the seatbelts. This was mainly because the cutter blade had begun to loose it's edge. But, let's face it, unless you are a first responder and use this cutter often the blade becoming dull shouldn't be a problem for you. After all, if you're lucky you will never need to use this tool. But if you do use this tool and dull the cutter blade a replacement for this tool is pretty inexpensive. Bottom line, this is a great tool for what it is intended to do and should give you some piece of mind knowing that you have it, ready for use, of the situation ever comes up. I recommend that everyone have one of these tools in every vehicle that they own. It's better to have it and not need it than it is to need it and not have it.

Work as intended, did have a problem with the spring inside not working properly. But I gave it a little whack and it started working again. Great item you'll never know you need until you do, but hopefully not!

This is a small but potentially seriously valuable tool in case you or someone else is involved in an auto accident. As you can see in the photo there is a car key which lets you know this is not very large and is meant to be used on a keychain, which is likely the best place to keep it because if you are in an accident having access to the key still being in the ignition is more likely than any other place in my opinion. It has two devices to help you out if you are in an automobile accident or if you are trying to help someone else that has been in an accident. The first is a glass breaker. Auto glass needs to be strong to undergo the rigors a car goes through, so it is not always easy to break. This tool uses a self-loading spring action with a glass breaker spike inside the end of the round part on the bottom. You push the bottom against the glass which takes 12 lbs. of pressure to accomplish which means you need to press it fairly hard, then when it reaches that level of pressure it releases a spring loaded spike which will cause auto glass to shatter thus allowing you to escape an accident should a door be jammed for example. Or help someone else to escape a similar situation. This means you only have to be able to press this device against the glass hard enough to activate the spring, not hit it with a standard glass breaker with enough force to cause it to shatter. I would suggest pressing the glass breaker up against a piece of cardboard or something similar so you will get an idea how hard you will need to press this against auto glass to get it to shatter if and when you actually need to use it, but not against a hard surface to prevent damage to the spike inside. By having this on your keychain it is far more likely you will be able to reach it if sometime you really need it. This is made not made to break out a windshield. Those have laminates sandwiched between two pieces of glass at will be held together by that plastic laminate. The other windows in a car will shatter in to hundreds of tiny pieces when broke It just takes enough force to get them to break. The spring loaded spiked inside this is enough to cause the entire window to shatter which is what you want, especially if you are not in a condition to hit the window really hard with some other glass breaker which depends on you having enough strength after the accident to still have an arm free, reach the device and kit it hard enough to work. I think you have a much better chance with the spring loaded devices as used in this tool. The second part is the seatbelt cutter. There is a sharp blade that is inside the curved part of the unit. It has a cap on it which needs to be removed to use, however when you have a key attached to it that gives you enough leverage to easily remove the protective cap and then you can cut yourself or someone else free from their seatbelt should you be unable to unbuckle them. You simply slide the seatbelt between the gap when the cap is removed and slide it to have the blade cut the belt, this is also made to prevent accidentally cutting yourself as the blade is inside the unit. I have not tested the blade on an actual seatbelt as I would not want to dull the blade in case I actually needed it. It appears sharp enough to do the job though. And while I usually have a sharp knife nearby if in an auto accident things get thrown around and the most likely item you will be able to reach is this tool attached to the key in the ignition. It is purely a safety tool that hopefully you will never need. But if you keep one on your keychain it will be there just in case you, or someone else you see in an accident needs it to escape a serious automobile accident. I don't see how you can afford NOT to buy one of these. If you ever use it just once it will have been worth many times more than the price paid. How much are the lives of yourself and your family worth to you? How much would you be willing to pay to be able to cut your child free after a car crash to get them to safety. Or to be able to break a window to escape a car you were trapped in? I do not sell these and I hope nobody gets in a an auto accident. But chances are that some of us will at some point and having one of these devices might make the difference between being able to escape or not. Cheap insurance you hope you never need in my opinion.

This is one of those items you hope you never need, but a good thing to have just in case. It feels like a good quality item and the seatbelt cutter is well protected from accidents.

Great addition to car emergency/tool kit. Bright colors are great. Easy to use. Glass breaker works really well.

This is one of those products I hope I never have to use in a real emergency, but it gives me so much peace of mind knowing it’s there. I was honestly skeptical at first and wondered if it would actually work, so I tested it on pieces of glass and thick materials before trusting it in my car. It easily shattered the glass with the window punch and sliced through seatbelt material without any issues. It’s compact, lightweight, and comes in really cute colors, so it doesn’t look out of place on my keychain. I drive an electric car and have always worried about getting trapped if the doors ever locked up after an accident, so having this makes me feel much safer every time I get behind the wheel. For such an inexpensive tool, the peace of mind alone makes it worth every penny. I highly recommend everyone keep one in their vehicle—you hope you’ll never need it, but you’ll be glad it’s there if you ever do.

This tool is a must have for emergencies.It could save a life. The Resqme is reasonably priced and all car owners and passengers (adults only, never children) should keep one handy. Attach it to your keychain or just hang it on your RVM.

I haven't had the chance to test them but I've seen several youtube videos proving it works well.

lama molto tagliente e facilissimo da utilizzare per rompere il finestrino. ottimo!!

Klein, maar handig.
