Ride share or not, you need a Resqme Glass Breaking Tool

[Button Pusher]

Getting into the wrong car by mistake cost a young woman her life,
if you are abducted or in a car accident, this tool can help you get out alive.

They retail for about $10 each. Made in the USA.

Thanks! Lots of variations on Amazon.

Never thought about this, great idea !

You are a complete tool, pun intended, if you but a Resqme, and don’t keep it in the Rescue Me DVD box set.

I like this glass breaking multi-purpose tool as good as anything else I've found on the planet:

 

[Schattenreiter]

Problem with those glass breaking tools is when you need them they are always in the trunk.

It would also be a good idea to be with friends if you are a young coed and out drinking at 2am. It's sad that you can't trust people.

I pulled into my office parking lot the other day, guy waiting outside with tools and luggage cart walks to rear of my Edge and
tried to open the hatch! I get out and said 'I'm not your ride, I work inside'. He said sorry and his ride pulled up next.
He was state employee and had his ID cards like I carry so no problem.

Thanks for posting this. All of our cars have belt cutters/glass breakers in sheaths attached to the driver’s seat belt but that doesn’t help my wife or college-aged daughter when they get in other vehicles, so I just ordered 3 (since I have another daughter that will be driving soon)

I don't think she was on campus? Looks like she was out clubbing.

Yeap. And getting in the wrong car is not what killed her. It was a pos individual that did.

Had them for years on both mine and my wife's keychains. Just bought a new set, as the belt cutter will eventually wear out and start falling off the keychain.

I carry one of these, which should also work for glass.

 

[Button Pusher]

She could not get out of the car, child door locks were activated, rear doors only can be opened from outside. Breaking the window her only way out.

If she lived on campus, she could not have a firearm.

That is absolutely true. But when a young girl is out drinking at 3 am by herself, bad things can happen. Poor decisions can last a lifetime.

I want a tactical pen for work, as we're not allowed to have a firearm on site.

Be sure to get a one-piece type; the ones with a 2 piece body come apart far too easily and it makes it useless.

They are good for all kinds of places. I've taken mine on planes (a pen in my computer bag is normal), to Disney World (need character autographs)...perfectly normal to have a pen almost anywhere.

In addition to that S&W one, I also have a PowerTac Scholar because I like the flashlight.

I wonder if the TOPS version would "fly?" Seems to be a bit more affordable, but more appearance of a weapon than pen.

I would think so in your carry-on. I like the round style because I travel in a polo shirt that has pen pockets on the sleeve and the round ones fit nicely.

Tim Kennedy (UFC/Special Forces) said that TSA confiscated one of his tactical pens but missed his backup, so it just depends on the person watching the X-ray machine, I guess.

 

[Grim]

At $30 a piece, the TOPS version seem to be something I could try. Some others are so expensive I would not want to part with.

This works to break safety glass pretty darn well.

Those little seat belt cutter tools are usually useless, so I just unbuckle mine when I need to get out of it

I always have a knife, but the glass breakers are very handy.

A helluva lot cheaper than this and I had to buy the companion strap cutter separately
