Resqme car escape tool – 2-pack (blue & lime green)
When a seatbelt jams or a side window won’t open, that split second of panic is when a tiny, sensible tool can make all the difference. This Resqme 2-pack gives you two of the original 2‑in‑1 escape tools to hang on your keyrings, so help is literally at hand. They’re compact, lightweight and built for proper use — firefighters and first responders helped design them, so this isn’t some novelty gizmo.
What it does and why it matters
It’s simple but effective: a protected, razor-sharp blade to cut through jammed seatbelts and a spring-loaded steel spike to smash tempered side windows. If a door won’t open or a belt won’t release, you can free yourself or a passenger quickly without faffing about with bulky kit. Ideal for daily drivers, families, commuters or anyone who likes a bit of common-sense safety tucked into a glovebox or on a keychain.
Key features
- Breaks car side windows: press the black head into a corner and the spring-loaded spike fires to shatter tempered glass — works on side windows and most sunroofs, not on laminated windscreen glass.
- Seatbelt cutter: the blade is recessed and protected until needed; hook it under the belt and slice to cut through quickly and safely.
- Compact and durable: made from ABS plastic and stainless steel, small enough to live on your keys without getting in the way.
- Reusable: the spike resets automatically and the blade will make multiple cuts, so it’s not a one-use throwaway.
- Certified and reliable: GS TUV certified and made in the USA — built to standards first responders trust.
How to use it
Clip it to your keys or a lifeline cable. In an emergency, pull the unit free from its clip to reveal the cutter. To cut a belt, hook the blade over the webbing and draw it across; to break a window, press the head into a corner and push — the spike fires and the glass shatters. Handy tip: add a key ring or a cable tie to the clip beforehand — gives you a better grip and stops you tugging at the plastic when you need it most.

Use cases and handy notes
Perfect for commuters, families with young children, taxi drivers and anyone who spends time on the road. It’s a small thing to carry but could save a lot of time and stress if things go wrong. Remember: this tool works on tempered side windows only — it won’t break laminated windscreens. And yes, both the spike and the blade are designed for multiple uses, so you don’t need to bin it after one emergency.
In short, a sensible bit of kit: easy to use, no faff, and well worth keeping on your keys or in the glovebox for a bit of extra peace of mind.
