 Nice but thought it was aluminium August 31, 2008
This is something I hope I never have to use. Seat belt cutter/window hammer. It is compact and I've seen it advertised on television and found the best price here at Amazon. Would make a great gadget gift for the person who has everything. Small/compact and could be easily carried on a keychain. The other items could be useful, however, I purchased for hopefully never having to break out of my car. It's a definate buy for people that travel around/near a lot of water, ravines, etc. You hear about those few accidents where people are trapped and can't get out of their seatbelts or under water cannot open windows (electric) and you'd be extremely hard pressed to break auto glass. So... it's most likely in that situation you'd pay hundreds/thousands to have this item in your car with you. Great to keep on a keychain, or in your glove box. I will be buying more. The presentation is a clamshell cover vs. the aluminum presentation box I've seen on TV. So, for the few dollars more you get the same thing but in a bit more elaborate way. I say buy one and put in each car/buy one for each child that's driving. It's just a great peace of mind tool. I did have a neice that slid on ice and went into a cold muddy channel... had someone not jumped in and got her out. She would have drowned in her own vehicle. It set an impresion with me and it's why I made my purchase. Swiss Tech BodyGard Platinum 7-in-1 Multi-Function Emergency Tool with Key Ring

This is a vulgar copy of the ResQMe! This 7 in 1 tools is a joke! About a 10 in 1? Do not buy this, last time i tried it failed! Do not gamble with your life and get the ResQMe, the only safety tool made in the US and trusted by professionals!
A little bulky, but packs a good punch! February 22, 2008

The BodyGard Platinum is a little larger than I expected. I wear it on my keychain, however I could not imagine carrying this in my pants pocket (I don't know what I will do in the summer without a jacket). This review will be incomplete since I haven't had the opportunity to use all seven features. Here goes:
1) Thermometer - Doesn't work. Stays on 80 no matter what the true temperature is. 0 stars
2) Digital Tire Gauge - Have not used yet (but at least the readout works).
3) Flashing Red Distress Light - Is very bright and strong. Very pleased. 5 stars!
4) High Intensity High and Low Beam Bright White LED Flashlight - Provides very bright lighting with either setting. 5 stars!
5) Powerful Sonic Alarm - Is not as loud as a powerful scream, but will draw plenty of attention if you are unable to scream for any reason. However, because of the location of the speaker, it is easy to cover it and dull the sound while holding it. 4.5 stars
6) Safety-Blade Seat Belt Cutter - Is very sharp and well hidden so no accidents can happen. Just pull the keyring off and the cutter is revealed. I have tested it on thick paper and thin plastic and based on its performance, I have no problem trusting it in an emergency. 5 stars!
7) Automatic Glass Breaker - Is very powerful for its size. I haven't had the chance to test it on auto glass, but I have used it on wood, painted sheetrock, and metal. It left a very noticeable mark in each, and always resets itself immediately after being deployed. Also, it took very little power to set it off - even if you are hurt and weakened, you could probably still use it. 5 stars!
Overall, it is a very useful item. The thermometer doesn't work, but I really didn't care about that feature anyway. Every other feature works great (not sure about the tire gauge), and it is well worth the money. I would recommend this item to anyone who is worried about auto emergencies.
If you are looking for the smaller version without the thermometer or tire gauge try this out: Swiss Tech BGCSBK BodyGard 5-in-1 Multi-Function Emergency Tool with Key Ring. My wife has this one, and the important functions are just as good, but it is actually small enough to place in your pants pocket.
