Resqme original 2-in-1 emergency keychain – teal car escape tool
If things go pear-shaped on the road, this tiny tool can make a proper difference. The Resqme original 2-in-1 packs a razor-sharp seatbelt cutter and a spring-loaded window breaker into a neat fob that lives on your keys or clips to the sun visor. It’s one of those obvious bits of kit you only appreciate the moment you need it — exactly the point.
Quick overview
Compact, reusable and built for speed, this escape tool is aimed at common car emergencies — rollovers, electrical failures, fires, floods or even a sinking vehicle. The cutter uses a stainless-steel razor blade to slice through jammed belts quickly; the glass breaker is a spring-loaded stainless-steel spike designed to shatter tempered side windows, best targeted at a corner for maximum effect.
Why it helps
- Fast, one-handed access to cut a stuck belt — a diagonal slice gives a clean, quick cut.
- The spring-loaded spike resets after use, so the unit’s reusable and ready again.
- Small enough to keep on your keyring or clipped to the visor, so there’s no mucking about when seconds count.
- Used and trusted by first responders, police and EMTs — TUV tested with a strong safety reputation worldwide.
Typical use cases
- If a crash jams your belt or doors won’t open, use the cutter to free yourself or passengers.
- If a side window won’t lower or doors are stuck, use the glass breaker to create an exit point.
- Handy in floods or sinking cars where power failure makes electric windows useless.
Specifications and practical notes
Dimensions: 7.9 x 3.5 x 1.9 cm. Weight: 20 g (about 0.04 lb). Model number 03.100.12. UPC 630932100129. Exterior finish: painted teal. Made in USA. The Resqme resets after use and can be used multiple times; the seatbelt cutter blade is stainless steel and designed for repeated use too.
Quick tip on striking technique: aim for a window corner rather than the centre for the best chance of shattering tempered glass. It’s small, so it won’t replace a full emergency kit, but it’s perfect as an everyday carry item that gives real peace of mind. Note that visor and dashboard clips may be sold separately if you prefer a specific mounting option.

All told, it’s a no-nonsense safety tool. It won’t make driving risk-free, but it does make a quick escape far more likely if things go wrong. If you like the idea of a little extra reassurance on the road, this is the sort of gadget that’s well worth keeping to hand.
