Product Description
Res Q Me® is portable and functional in a variety or situations, not exclusively accidents. This highly effective escape tool can be kept on your key chain and easily separated from its detachable hook without removing keys from the ignition. It is not uncommon for a safety belt to malfunction in an accident. Infants also can be entrapped within their car seats, and when time is crucial you need to make sure everyone is safe from harm. This tool is able to cut through seat belt material in seconds, simply hook the tool over the belt and pull. The sharp steel blade is protected for your safety as well. The Res Q Me® features an ingenious spring loaded system for shattering tempered glass. Simply push the flat surface against a window until the concealed spring loaded spike releases to break the glass. Only 12 pounds (5kg) of force is needed for use. With this device on your key chain, you become a safety provider to others as well, including parents and pet owners. Feel peace of mind knowing you have chosen a safety tool that is approved and recommended by EMT, Police and Fire units worldwide, and The American Fleet Association. Please note that this product does not work on windshield or laminated glass. Often, side window glass is laminated so please check for that before attempting to use the Res Q Me® .

 Compact, Easy to keep close at hand. June 10, 2007

I've used full sized automatic center punches as window breakers, during my emergency response days. This is an excellent fill-in unit. It attaches to your keychain, and is a sort of pull-apart unit, so that you have easy and instant access to the thing if you need it.
The window breaker will only work on the side or rear windows, the front windshields of American cars are laminate tempered glass that have a sheet of plastic between the layers. This won't break that. But the side or rear glass, no problem. Just push the flat end of the breaker against the glass, you'll hear a little "pop" and the window breaks into thousands of tiny glass crumbs.
As far as the seat belt cutter, it seems sharp enough, although I don't want to test it and possibly dull the blade. Seems like it'll do the job nicely if called on.
Of course this thing is not a cure-all. You need to have a plan in the back of your head. Watch the TV show "Mythbusters" and look for the submerged car episode to see what I mean. Trying to figure out how to use this while your car is filling up with water and you and your passengers are panicking is not the time to be reading instructions or formulating an escape plan.
This item, which is much smaller than those "Escape" hammers you can also buy, is very cheap insurance. The advantage over the hammers is that you don't have to swing this to make it work, just press it against a window and you're out.
I got one for every member of my family, including the non-drivers. No telling if you'll be a passenger in someone else's car when the need for this thing arises.

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.

This product works great. My husband and I had the opportunity to try this out at a junk yard and I must say besides allowing us to see what a great product this is, it was so much fun! We broke windo after window and cut seat belts with ease. Our friends who came with us have now ordered their own.

I bought a few of these for friends and family. It's an inexpensive gift that may save a life. I tested mine on a piece of window glass - it works with little pressure, and can be used over & over. I pray they never need it, but if someone I love is ever trapped in their car, this could save a life.
directions would be nice February 8, 2009

my resqme keychains arrived very later, they actually had to be reshipped after the usps sent them back to the shipper. i can't stand usps. there were no instructions with the items. i wasn't sure how to use them and i popped the glass breaker on my thumb. i had a mark for a week and it was sore, but my husband got a good laugh out of it and i know how to use it now and i know they work. i feel safer knowing my husband and i can get ourselves and our kids out of the car in case of an emergency.
