are you prepared?

Just like the ones in European buses.

This is one of those tools that should be in your vehicle... just in case. Better to know that you have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

LifeSaver???

Let me start by saying that I've never been upside down in a submerged car trying to cut my seatbelt off and shatter the window to get out but if I was there are better safety hammers/tools on the market. This one is lightweight and reminds me of a toy. I'm afraid it would break before the window would. It does have a sharp point and cutting edge both untried by me. It just doesn't instill confidence. Look elsewhere and spend a little more for the real thing.

An absolute must for every vehicle.

This tool might save a life someday. It is well constructed. I had my wife practice on an old car window so that she would be comfortable using it in an emergency.

safety first

I took a safety course with my local fire department. Part of it was escaping from a locked auto---you'd be surprised how difficult it was to break the window. Kicking it doesn't work nor does banging it with any thing you'd normally have in the car. On the 2nd attempt with LifeHammer in my safety course, I was able to escape in under 15 seconds. That sold me. Hopefully I'll never have to use this. For saftey, you can't get anything which is better. And this is not expensive---so buy it.

Hammer - small

Not a big hammer but about right for storing in the car. Hope it will do the job if needed.

I think a must have for your car

good "non-complainable" gift item! :)

well, if you do buy it for someone, chances of them complaining against it will be minimal for sure. But like most people here have written, Pray they are never in a situation for it to be used. Sometimes, it can just be another one of novelty items that end up in your workshop.

I decided to try out the effectiveness on a window pane that already had a deep crack across it, and since it was going to be disposed off, decided to use it on the same, the hammer would create a localized stress point that increases and the shattering of the pane would occur after a few hits. But these are ideal conditions with all comfort and angles for hitting, unsure of real time conditions and if its all the same, rather not find out.

.....it's all about insurance and preparedness.

Well made.
Real review is yet to come...and I hope that never happens.
Keeping it in the right place..easily accessable would be key in a real emergency.
It is possible that this item could have other uses...ie. cutting string...breaking other glass...maybe a little ice.

Too Short and Small

I purchased this emergency hammer to replace a freebie I picked up somewhere. I am really disappointed. The hammer is dainty. I am sure it will work so I am giving it 2 stars. I would not buy another.

Product is well crafted and constructed. Fortunately I have not been in a situation where I had to test its intended use. Bought another one for my wife's car.
