You don’t think about needing a tool like this until you are desperate to have one. We have put these in our cars and are hoping to never have to use them. We don’t have spare windows to try this on and we don’t have a seat belt we can try it on. I like that we got several for an inexpensive price. It is important to look at the directions for using the tools because the instructions are not intuitive. It looks like you are supposed to cut the seat belt at an angle, and the window-breaking tool is to be pressed, not hit on the window, in one of the corners, not the middle.Assuming these work, the one major improvement they need to do, is to have a tag on each of the key chains with the instructions! In the ‘heat of the moment’ people are going to risk their lives by doing it wrong. Even if the price has to go up a little bit, each of these needs instructions attached.

These are about the size of a small 'Penlight'. Each of the three is identical except for the three colors. Each item has a plastic cover over the 'entrance' to the seatbelt cutter. This protects the entrance from being used on something by mistake. I also like this design because with the included Keyrings, each of the three keyrings can be attached to the removable Plastic cover of the 'opening' of the Seatbelt cutter. I plan to attach the keyring to something that is fixed in my cars, and easily accessible in an emergency, then I can just 'Pull' and this item will get removed from the protective plastic cover when it is pulled, and then you would just cut a seatbelt that was too tight to remove after an accident (when the G-forces have over-tightened the seatbelts) where you need to get free very quickly. Then you would use the hard metal side to slam against the nearest window and it should break it. Repeat this if needed until the window breaks, and do that in the four corners of the window if needed. For just 'spare-change' cost, you have some protection in the event of an unforseen accident. And after all, accidents are 'unforseen'. Being prepared for unexpected contingencies is what survival is all about. These three items are just about the most increased safety, for the least cost, I think I have come across. And that is saying a lot. As John Wick lives by the motto enscribed by his tattoos: "FORTIS FORTUNA ADIUVAT" = "Fortune Favors the Bold" When it is time to get free, and crack a window wide open, having this could very well save lives. And now that I think about John Wick, it occurs to me that this could be a safety device if physically threatened, or attacked, because that hard metal 'window breaker' could help send a message to an attacker that its gonna hurt alot more then just a fist. That hard metal slug of a tip is something no one wants to feel. I am already thinking, I will be sleeping a bit better after receiving these!

The MotFittings emergency car escape tool is suitably small and light-weight. It can be attached to something like a keychain or rearview mirror, but then effortlessly snatched off to use.The anchor point for attaching it to other items is a small clip that covers the blade guide like a pen cap. And, like a pen’s cap, while it is secure enough to stay put, it can easily be pulled off …just yank the tool off the tether, and use it. For example, if one hung it from the rearview mirror, it would be easily accessible to either person in the front seats, to just yank it off and use it to cut seatbelts or break windows.At first I didn’t understand why the little window-breaking ‘spike’ was completely recessed inside of its plastic housing. But when I tested it I realized that it has an internal spring mechanism, so that when the “hammer” end of the tool is shoved or struck against the window, the surrounding housing “cocks” a little hammer spike, then snaps it forward to strike the glass with a hard blow. [I have not tested this on glass, but did test it on dent-able material, showing that it strikes with quite a wallop.] Technically one could press the tool into the glass to achieve the snap, but that requires more force and strength. A much easier way to get the job done is to hit/shove it against the glass. —The really cool thing about the wind-up-and-snap mechanism is that your hand doesn’t need to have the free space to make a full swing (a short jabbing thrust is enough), and (I’m guessing with this, but I’m confident I’m correct) it also means that you don’t require air-space to swing in. Even if your hand/arm were moving through water, you’d be able to shove with enough force to compress and snap the little window-breaking spike; it is the spring mechanism that delivers the needed ‘smack’ to break the glass. — Pretty cool.I also tested the strap-cutting blade on some scrap, and it works like a charm.If anything, the one down-side I might see, is that the tool itself is small. It might be that in the midst of fumbling urgency, or with banged-up hands, one might drop such a small item.
