Resqme 01.100.09 car escape tool – safety yellow
Handy, simple and properly useful — the resqme escape tool is one of those little bits of kit that really matter when things go pear‑shaped. It’s a compact, keyring‑sized, two‑in‑one safety gadget: designed to cut a jammed seatbelt or smash a side window in an emergency. The Safety Yellow finish means you won’t be faffing about looking for it when every second counts.
what it does
The tool pairs a protected, razor‑sharp seatbelt cutter with a spring‑loaded stainless‑steel spike for breaking tempered side glass. It won’t work on laminated windscreens, but it’s very effective on tempered side windows, most sunroofs and rear windows — the places you’re most likely to need a quick exit.
how to use
Clip it to your keys and keep it to hand. In an emergency, pull the resqme free from its safety clip to expose the cutter, hook and slice through the jammed belt. To break a window, press the black head into a corner of a side window and the spike fires, shattering the glass. It’s deliberately straightforward — grab, pull, act. No faff, no rummaging for extra tools.
why it’s handy
- Compact and lightweight — easy to carry on your keys so there’s no excuse not to have it with you.
- Made in the USA and GS TÜV‑certified, so it’s been properly tested for reliability.
- Reusable design — the spring resets automatically and the blade will make multiple cuts.
- Protected blade design reduces the risk of accidental cuts while it’s tucked away.
- Bright colour makes it quick to spot in a bag, glovebox or on a cluttered keyring.
typical situations where it helps
- After a collision where the seatbelt jams and the doors won’t open.
- If you need a rapid exit and the electric windows have failed.
- When travelling with children or elderly passengers and a prompt escape is essential.
technical details and tips
Dimensions: approximately 7.62 x 3.18 x 1.57 cm. Weight: about 18 g. Construction: ABS plastic body with stainless‑steel blade and spike. Item model number 01.100.09 (manufacturer part number 01.100.09). A couple of practical tips: check if your car’s side windows are tempered (look for a ‘tempered’ mark or inspect the glass edge) — the tool won’t break laminated windscreens. If the safety clip feels stiff to remove, thread a key ring or small cable tie through the clip first for extra grip before pulling it free.
All told, it’s a no‑nonsense, well‑tested little lifesaver trusted by first responders and motorists alike. No installation, no real maintenance — just clip it on and forget it, knowing you’ve bought a small piece of extra peace of mind.
