 Great Product. I hope I never need to use it. August 20, 2007

I bought this set for my wife and I. It's very simple to use and hangs unobtrusively from my keychain. I was playing with one of the set when they first arrived and the spring loaded spike is very strong. I can definitely see this shattering a car window, especially with how much it hurt my thumb. So, take it from me and my wounded digit, this works. Don't try to test it.
ResQMe keychain emergency escape tool July 8, 2007

This is a great tool. Its about 3" long by 1.25" wide and .625" thick. Thats roughly the same size as a standard remote keyfob. It is very lightweight so it doesn't make your keys too heavy either.
I chose the yellow so it would be easy to find, and so far it's helped me find my keys at least 20 times. To top it off it comes in a set of 2.
The basic concept is easy. There are two tools, one to cut the seat belt and one to break open the window. The tool attaches to the keychain by a plastic clip that snaps on firmly and doubles as the seat belt cutter protective cover.
When you need it you can just grab it and pull away from the keyring, leaving the keys in the ignition. Slip it over the seatbelt and pull. Slices like butter. Then press the larger end against the window and press. No need to smack or swing or use any force at all. The spring loaded punch will do the work for you. The hardened metal point pops into the window smashing it easily. Try it on a cardboard box, or a piece of scrap wood and you can see the dent it makes. Don't try it on your window though, unless you are ready to buy a new piece of glass.
There is a note in the instructions warning that it does not work on laminated safety glass. Front windshields use that type to keep the pieces from cutting you if it breaks. It makes that milky spiderweb look and holds all the pieces together.
I have had the lifehammer tool, but there is no good place to keep it. If I needed it, would I have time, or even be able to find in the glove box or the bottom of the center console? I doubt it. With the ResQMe keychain, its right at the ignition, where you could reach it any time. This is a fantastic improvement.
It comes in several colors too help accesorize too. Personally I love the yellow. Comes in package of 2 so you have one for your loved one too.
ResQMe Keychain easy to use and sturdy May 23, 2007

I have not needed to use this product yet thankfully. It does seem like it is an easy tool to use in the case of an emergency. Since it fits on the keychain it is readily available. It appears to be of a sturdy construction and the blade of the seatbelt cutter is secure with a cover. I feel completely safe with it on my keys.
Good Product March 17, 2007

This could be a life saver item for anyone that lives near or around watery areas where you could be in the position to save yourself or someone else that has wound up in a body of water and their vehicle is sinking.
Hope I Never Have to Use This February 6, 2007

Purchased as a "just in case" and I hope I'm never in a situation where I will need to use it. But at least I feel safer knowing it's there.
I've only tested this on pieces of wood and plexiglass, and it works as it should. This tool was also highlighted on an episode of "MythBusters" on the Discovery Channel in a submerged car myth. They demonstrated how a tool just like this one and the "LifeHammer" both worked perfectly on the side window of a submerged car. So I'm sold on this tool's ability.
