What Stands Out

  • Rides on the key ring, so it is within reach from the driver seat
  • Spring-loaded spike breaks tempered side windows, and a concealed blade cuts a jammed seat belt
  • Designed, manufactured and assembled in the United States
  • Certified by TUV
  • Two in the pack: one for the truck keys, one for the family car

What To Check

  • Works on tempered glass only, not windshields or laminated windows, and some newer vehicles use laminated front side glass
  • resqme says to replace it after use or every 5 to 10 years
  • Limited one-year manufacturer warranty per the listing

The resqme Original is a small keychain tool with a spring-loaded spike that breaks a tempered side window and a hidden blade that cuts a stuck seat belt. It is an Amazon's Choice pick and one of the top sellers in Automotive Escape Tools, and it is made in the USA.

It is the emergency item that stays with you instead of getting buried in a glove box. On the key ring, it is hanging by the steering column whenever the truck is running.

The Numbers That Matter

Spike and belt cutter. You press the tool against a side window and the spring does the work. The blade is recessed, so it cuts a belt without being a loose knife on your keys.

Tempered glass only. resqme is clear that it does not work on windshields or laminated glass. Some newer trucks use laminated front side windows, so check which windows in your vehicle are tempered.

Replace every 5 to 10 years. resqme recommends replacing it after use or within that window, so note the date you put it on your keys.

Who It Is For

The dad who drives the family around and wants one more safety item that takes no space. Put the second one on the other family car's keys. It fits alongside the First Aid Only FAO-442 kit in a family truck kit, and on the key ring next to a Victorinox Classic SD.

The Short Version

An emergency tool only helps if you can reach it, and this one lives on the keys. The 2 pack covers both family vehicles. Check which of your windows are tempered, since it is made for tempered side glass only.
