Every second counts in a car emergency. The resqme® keychain car escape tool, carried by over 12 million drivers globally, is designed to provide a swift and effective means of escape from a vehicle. This compact, 2-in-1 device enables you to quickly cut a jammed seatbelt and break a tempered car window, significantly increasing your chances of survival in critical situations. Originally a tool for first responders, resqme® has become an indispensable safety solution for individuals prioritizing their safety and that of their loved ones.
How the Resqme® Quick Car Escape Tool Works
This powerful tool utilizes a simple yet effective three-step process for a rapid escape:
1. Pull the Blade Protector
The first step involves pulling the blade protector from the resqme® tool. This exposes the sharp blade used for cutting seatbelts and prepares the spring-loaded window punch.
2. Cut the Seatbelt
With the blade exposed, position the resqme® at a 45-degree angle against the seatbelt. Using a firm and controlled motion, cut through the seatbelt webbing. This action frees you from potential restraints.
3. Break the Window
Locate the bottom corner of a tempered glass side window. Press the head of the resqme® firmly against the corner of the window. The spring-loaded spike will activate, shattering the glass and creating an escape route.
