A Small Tool That Helps You Get Out Fast
After a crash, in a flood or in a car fire, doors can jam, electric windows can stop working and a seat belt buckle can stick. This pocket-sized escape tool holds two things in one: a spring-loaded tungsten steel pin that breaks a car side window with a firm push, and a protected blade that cuts through a seat belt. Keep it in its holder within reach of your seat, and hope you never need it.
The problem
Modern car windows are hard to break
Many cars built since 2005 have crash-resistant side windows. They hold up well in an accident, but they are very hard to break when you need to get out, especially under water, where the water presses against the glass.
When water gets into a car, the electric window system can short-circuit and stop working. That is exactly the moment this tool is made for.
- Concentrated force: a spring fires a small tungsten steel pin into one tiny point of the glass.
- No strength needed: a firm push is enough, even in a tight space.
- Works under water: fully mechanical, nothing to swing.
- Made for side windows: designed for tempered car side windows.
No swing needed
Why a press-on tool beats a swing
| This escape tool | A swing-style safety hammer | |
|---|---|---|
| How you use it | Press it against the window | Swing it hard at the right angle |
| Works without room to swing | ✓ | ✗ |
| Works when you are hurt, upside down or pressed in by an airbag | ✓ | ✗ |
| Needs little strength | ✓ | ✗ |
Independent tests by a large motoring club found that spring-loaded tools broke tempered side windows more often than hammer-style tools.
Seat belt cutter
Free yourself when the buckle will not open
The other end of the tool hides a sharp blade inside a narrow slot. Slide the seat belt into the slot and pull, and the blade cuts straight through it.
Because the blade sits deep inside the slot, it is hard to touch by accident, so the tool is safe to carry and to store.
Always ready
No batteries, reusable, never runs flat
There is nothing electric in this tool: no batteries to go flat, no charging and no single-use cartridge. The spring mechanism works again and again, so the tool stays ready in your car for years.
Try it first
Test it before you ever need it
A piece of tempered test glass comes in the box. Try the tool at home, calmly, feel how the spring fires and watch the glass shatter, so you know exactly what to do if the day ever comes.
Keep it within reach
A holder for your car
The tool comes with a holder that keeps it fixed in place and easy to grab from your seat. Many people also keep it in a closed centre console, on their keychain or in the overhead sunglasses compartment.
Do not keep your only escape tool in the boot or anywhere you could not reach after an accident.
How to use
Five steps to get out
1. Cut the seat belt
Remove the cap from the seat belt cutter end. Slide the belt into the protected slot and cut through it.
2. Uncover the window breaker
Remove the cap from the other end of the tool.
3. Place it on a side window
Hold the tool firmly against a side window, not the windscreen.
4. Press firmly
Push until the spring mechanism fires and the glass shatters.
5. Get out
Leave the vehicle as quickly as you can.
Made for
Situations where every second counts
A gift that matters
A thoughtful gift for every driver
It is a popular gift for new drivers, grown-up children, partners and parents, and it fits nicely in a Christmas stocking. Many families keep one in every car they own, so the driver and the passengers always have a way out.

Questions people ask
How is this different from a normal safety hammer?
A hammer needs room and strength to swing. This tool is simply pressed against a side window until the spring-loaded pin fires. No swinging and very little space needed.
Does it need batteries?
No. It is fully mechanical and can be used more than once.
Does it work under water?
Yes. The mechanism is mechanical and does not depend on batteries, electricity or a swing.
Can it break the windscreen?
It is made for tempered side windows. Always use it on a side window.
Can I not just use the headrest?
Headrests are often hard to take out, and you still need to swing them hard at the right angle, which is very difficult under stress or when hurt. A press-on tool is far easier in a tight, stressful moment.
Is it safe around children?
It does not go off with a button or a light tap. It needs a firm push against a hard surface, so accidental use is unlikely. Keep it in the front of the car, for example in the glove box or centre console, out of reach of small children.
Where should I keep it?
Somewhere fixed and easy to reach from your seat: in the included holder, a closed centre console, on your keychain or in the sunglasses compartment.
