LifeHammer Original Emergency Hammer (Orange)

I hope never to use this product, but it is good to have in a state with a lot of lakes, ponds and bogs around twisting country roads and no street lights. Product fits nicely in door pocket, is sturdy and light weight. Handle grips well and would be easy to use in an emergency.

Just like the ones in European buses.

This is one of those tools that should be in your vehicle... just in case. Better to know that you have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

Let me start by saying that I've never been upside down in a submerged car trying to cut my seatbelt off and shatter the window to get out but if I was there are better safety hammers/tools on the market. This one is lightweight and reminds me of a toy. I'm afraid it would break before the window would. It does have a sharp point and cutting edge both untried by me. It just doesn't instill confidence. Look elsewhere and spend a little more for the real thing.

This tool might save a life someday. It is well constructed. I had my wife practice on an old car window so that she would be comfortable using it in an emergency.

I took a safety course with my local fire department. Part of it was escaping from a locked auto---you'd be surprised how difficult it was to break the window. Kicking it doesn't work nor does banging it with any thing you'd normally have in the car. On the 2nd attempt with LifeHammer in my safety course, I was able to escape in under 15 seconds. That sold me. Hopefully I'll never have to use this. For saftey, you can't get anything which is better. And this is not expensive---so buy it.
