Resqme GB0-RQMTWIN-Orange car escape tool – orange, 2-pack
This little gadget can make a proper difference if the worst happens on the road. Compact, clever and no faffing about – the Resqme 2-pack gives you two bright orange keychain escape tools that let you cut a jammed seatbelt or smash a side window to get out quickly. Originally developed for fire, paramedic and police organisations, it’s now easy to buy for anyone who wants the reassurance of a simple, reliable escape device.
What it does
The Resqme is a neat 2-in-1 safety tool: a protected seatbelt cutter and a spring‑loaded window breaker. Pull it from its clip to expose the razor‑sharp blade, hook the belt and slice through. To exit via a window, press the black head into the corner of a side window — the spring‑loaded steel spike fires and shatters toughened glass so you can get out fast. It won’t work on laminated windscreens, only on toughened side windows and most sunroofs.
Why it’s useful
Think of realistic scenarios: a crash where the engine stalls and the doors won’t open, or a seatbelt jammed tight after impact. Panic sets in quickly, and those wasted seconds matter. Having a small, obvious tool on your keyring stops that faff. It’s feather‑light so it lives on the keys without getting in the way, and the bright orange makes it easy to spot in low light or in a glovebox.
- Quick access – clip‑on keyring design means it’s with your keys when you need it; the clip detaches so the blade is revealed in one smooth pull.
- Durable construction – ABS plastic body with a stainless steel spike and a protected stainless blade that’ll handle multiple cuts.
- Reusable – the spring‑loaded spike resets automatically so it can be used more than once; the blade stays sharp for repeated use.
- Safety‑certified – GS TUV‑certified and manufactured in the USA for consistent quality.
- Simple to use – no complicated instructions; a quick practice motion and it becomes second nature.
Handy tips: check which type of glass your car has before relying on the tool — most side windows are toughened and will shatter, but laminated windscreens usually won’t. To remove the safety blade clip, attach a keyring or cable tie to the clip loop for a better grip, then pull straight with a brisk motion. Without a supporting keyring the clip can be stubborn and you might risk damaging the Resqme if pulled awkwardly.

There’s not much that can go wrong with a straightforward tool like this, but it’s sensible to keep one on your everyday keys and a spare in the glovebox or with a family member. It’s ideal for commuters, taxi drivers, motorists with young children, or anyone who wants a no‑nonsense, reliable escape tool. If you’re unsure whether it will work on a particular window, check the corner of the glass for a ‘toughened’ marking or roll the window down to inspect — if it’s smooth and looks like a single sheet it’s likely toughened.
Accessories such as lanyards or premium packs may be sold separately for similar ASINs, so if you prefer a different clip or a lanyard you can pick one up alongside the tool. All in all, the Resqme 2‑pack is a tiny, inexpensive bit of kit that could save a lot of worry — worth keeping close at hand.
