resqme 03.100.09 car escape tool – safety yellow, pack of 2
Having a small, dependable escape tool on your keys is one of those sensible things you don’t notice until you need it. This resqme 03.100.09 pack includes two compact, high-visibility yellow keychain tools that do two jobs: cut a jammed seatbelt and break a side window. It’s the original design favoured by first responders, now sitting on the keys of safety-minded drivers up and down the country.
what it does
The resqme is a straightforward 2-in-1 safety gadget: a guarded razor blade for slicing through a stuck seatbelt, and a spring-loaded steel spike for shattering tempered side glass. No faffing about — pull it from the clip to reveal the blade, or press the black head into the corner of a side window to release the spike.
why it’s useful
- Quick action when things go pear-shaped – grab the keychain, pull or press, and you can escape or help someone else escape.
- Small and lightweight so it sits on your keys without being a nuisance, yet built to do the job when it matters.
- High-visibility Safety Yellow means you won’t be rooting around in the dark trying to find it.
- Reusable – the spring-loaded spike resets itself and the blade will cut through multiple seatbelts.
Practical note: the tool is effective on tempered glass typically used for side windows, but it won’t work on laminated windscreens. To check your car’s glass, look for a small “tempered” label in the lower corner or inspect the glass edge — tempered glass usually appears as a single smooth piece. If you’re unsure, drop the window a little and look from above: if it looks like one continuous sheet, it’s probably tempered.

Quick tip: thread the key ring or a cable tie through the little loop before you try to unsnap the safety blade clip — it gives a better grip and stops you yanking on the body. The clip can be a bit fiddly and, if pulled the wrong way, might stress the unit. Not a criticism of the tool, just a heads-up so there’s no panic or disappointment the first time you try it.
common questions
