Resqme GBO-RQM The Rescue Tool Keyring

I recently purchased this life-saving tool, and it has quickly become a must-have item in our family vehicles. The 2-in-1 functionality of the resqme tool, with its built-in seatbelt cutter and window breaker, provides an incredible sense of security. The compact size makes it easy to store on a keychain or in the glove compartment, ensuring that it's always within reach in case of an emergency. The seatbelt cutter is remarkably sharp and effective, allowing for a quick and smooth escape in situations where time is of the essence. The window breaker is equally impressive – a powerful tool that shatters glass effortlessly, providing a reliable exit strategy in the event of an accident. What sets the resqme Family Pack apart is the peace of mind it offers. It's a small investment that can make a significant difference in critical situations.

Ok

looks promising

The item is aesthetically of good quality. The handling is good, very light weight (hence dangling on my car key chain) - but this is an item that cannot be tested for performance unless an emergency arises, requiring the car window to be broken. Then it is anyone's guess if it would work. Fingers crossed. I have several backups, just in case.

Great

Hope never to use...

Very small, less than finger length, not practical, too expensive. Not recommended. The best is the hammer type not this one

good

This tool is a must have for emergencies.It could save a life. The Resqme is reasonably priced and all car owners and passengers (adults only, never children) should keep one handy. Attach it to your keychain or just hang it on your RVM.

Giving 5* for time being. Made a test cut on some webbing very similar to seat belt webbing, and the device cuts well. Bear in mind you must hold the webbing tight as you pull the blade thru the webbing. Also, cut at an angle, approx. 45 degrees, instead of straight across. The most restraint webbing is woven this way for more strength, but makes cutting straight across more difficult. I have not tested the spring loaded punch on glass yet, but did test on a piece of aluminum plate and it put a good impression, so it should do well on tempered glass. Be advised that on LAMINATED glass, which is most windshields and SOME front door windows, neither this nor any other punch or small emergency hammer will work very well. It's not a fault of the device, but rather the multi-layer by design of the window. You basically have to cut your way thru laminated glass. As a former firefighter/ paramedic, this device was not around when I was in service. However, I read thru many fire rescue forums discussing this technology, and this Resqme escape tool is the device most of the current EMS/ Rescue personnel are giving their family members and putting in their personally owned vehicles, and this is the device I'm issuing to my family members. Final note- these come in various colors- get the light neon green color. A lot of the other colors will blend in or be hard to spot in many car interiors. You want something you can spot in an instant, because you may need to exit the car in a hurry. Absolutely do not get the black, as it will be very hard to find. If I were going to make any recommendation to the mfr, I'd ask them to make a neon green version using glow-in-the-dark plastic. Hope this helps someone on the edge of a decision. I know what a pain it is reading 50 reviews on competing products...

I bought this 2-pack so both my wife and I have one in our cars. The quality of the Resqme tool is legendary for a reason—it’s compact but feels very well-engineered. It was incredibly easy to attach to my keyring so it’s always within reach if the seatbelt jams or the windows won't open. It's a very cheap price to pay for the peace of mind knowing my family has a way out in an emergency. Every parent should have these.

Klein, maar handig.

This is my second purchase, and although I can't say to the effectiveness of this device (and I hope I will never have to), I have tested the window breaker mechanism and it is VERY painful. Make sure you test it out on a piece of wood if you have to, and not your hands (silly me!). For some reason the window breaker does not reset correctly sometimes. To do a manual reset you would have to find a thin metal rod (like a screwdriver) and push the pin all the way back in until it clicks. This could be a concern as the tip of the breaker may become blunt, and if it fails to reset should you find yourself unsuccessful at breaking a window when you need to, good luck! The knife edge is very sharp and I sometimes use it as a letter opener.
