Haven't tested it in real life December 27, 2007

... Fluorescent yellow makes for good visibility. Punch is easy to press but has good impact.
... Don't test too much, especially on hard surfaces (glass, hard wood, metal). You don't want to dull the point, reducing it's effectiveness.
... But do test two or three times on something soft (plywood, pine), as someone else mentioned quality control might be an issue. You want to find out now, not later, if there's a manufacturing flaw.
... Even if you have the LifeHammer, I highly recommend having one of these on your keychain. You never know what vehicle you'll be in, or what circumstances.
 Worst Case Scenario December 7, 2007

Imagine giving this device to your 16 year old. Imagine he encounters circumstances to put it to use. Now imagine it fails to work. How would you feel about your gift?
I ordered 6 of these as Christmas stocking-stuffers. Fortunately, my 16 year old tested the glass breaking function of his on a piece of scrap hard plastic.
No matter how hard we tried we couldn't get the pin to 'pop'. The barrel simply moved in and out with no effect.
I handed him another. The pin popped as it should but then remained stuck in the extended position. In actual use that would have meant one try to break the glass and then the device would have been useless.
I tested the remaining 4 and they did, in fact, function as advertised and demonstrated. I don't think a device like this ought to have what basically amounts to a 33% failure rate on the 6 I purchased.
If you buy them, TEST them. Then consider installing the full-sized hammer as a back-up.

Do not waste your money buying this item. I tested it on various glass surfaces and it did not perform well, it didn't even puncture skin.
 From the seashore October 7, 2007
We live very close (200 yards) to the Sound on the Atlantic Ocean in North Carolina. Too many folks find on leaving the pavement that they are in water over their car. I hope that I will not need this gizmo, but I surely feel better having it in the car. I like the fact too that it stay with me if I am riding with someone else too.

This product is well make and I hope I never have to use it. I'm sure it will break the window. I bought 4 of them for my family.
