Product Description
The ResQMe Keychain Rescue Tool is a compact yet powerful safety item that cuts through jammed seatbelts and breaks malfunctioning side and rear automotive windows, allowing you to escape automotive entrapment. ResQMe has a spring-loaded steel head for breaking tempered glass (will not break windshields) with a force of just 12 pounds or less, and a razor-sharp, stainless steel blade to cut seatbelts. It is even functional when submerged in water. Despite its compact power, this tool cannot injure users or clothing when carried normally. The clip can be hung on a keychain or hook, and easily detaches for emergency access.Amazon.com Product Description

I returned this emergency keychain to Amazon because it didn’t work.
The spike wouldn’t even dent a glass bottle. The razor blade that’s supposed to cut seat belts in an emergency took too much time.

Since I haven’t been able to try it out in a life or death situation I give it three stars. If I die- then it gets a 1 star. If I live it will get five.

This product is a wonderful idea. I bought one for my 17 year old daughter and one for me. However, a major design flaw – if you keep this on your key chain – how will you disengage the key chain if the car is in drive, which it would be if you were in an accident or went into water. Who would think to put their car in park, if you could, in order to get to the ResQMe? While I liked the idea of the key chain version, it’s better to keep it hooked to something else. Don’t put it in the console or glovebox. If they pop open on impact, you could lose the contents of both and then what good would it do? I think they should have come up with another way to keep this in your car. For now, I have it attached to my turn signal arm with a rubber band. At least until I come up with a better solution.

I hope I never have to use it. Looks like a quality piece of hardware. Worth the price.
