Finally, someone has explained that you put pressure on the device for the device to work. Every video I've watched gives me the impression that there's some invisible button to push or click. Thanks for walking us through how it truly works.
This tool is a must have. Everyone in the house has one on their keys, and I use one regularly as a Fire Fighter. "Rescue hammers" may become dislodged and be lost during an accident. This stays where you know where it's going to be. Outstanding Fred, keep up the great reviews.
i have one in yellow, but just to let you know in real test performance, it acts differently against side window filled with protective layer, it doesn't break like your regular glass window that shown in video instead it will punch the selected vehicle side glasses to full of cracks, then you need to act your own to push the window out.
My dad use to be a firefighter and the hole department had one personally and they have just help save so many lives any where from the engines key chain to you own it was there
I carry one every day on my keys and i thankfully havent had to use it, unless you count the time when me and my bro used it to break a pickle jar in our back yard to test it.
I would suggest hanging this from both of the guide loops attached to the b post where the belt goes from your shoulder to the height adjuster. Its our of the way but perminantly available for use. One for the driver and one for the passenger.
Believe me after surviving a semi-truck rollover and hanging in my seat until I could get my Winchester multifoil out to cut myself free I make sure the wife and I both have the ability to get out as quickly as possible.
Cheers for that. We're going through some pretty severe floods downunder and quite a few have lost their lives recently in rivers. This should be very helpful.
Bro, I'm late to the party on the Resqme tool, but found your review in the process. Totally love your style, your production is excellent, you speak well, and are comfortable in front of the camera. Totally subscribing to your channel and wasting part of my day watching some of your vids. Cheers!
Try punching that picture frame glass with your finger. I will bet you that you are able to do the very same thing. (in fact, i think the glas cracked before the spike even came out.)
I don't have a seat belt strap, and I don't have a toughened, laminated car window, but here's a review with a random piece of nylon and regular glass....
Thank you for this video and you are correct. When in a life threatening situation, one tends to panic, causing motor skills to become impaired. I have many loved ones and intend to get each one a ResQMe Tool.
***** FRED, you're a prince for doing this. BEST VIDEO TO CAP THE YEAR OFF WITH. This video someone will see it and they will go out & buy a RESQME and someday it will result in saving a life. Thanks So Much. Happy New Year.
There is a telephone contact & e-mail on RESQME's Official website Contact them, if there is a problem with it , they will replace it. Official Website Contact Page >>> resqme.com/EN/contact/ I personally keep their RESQME and their RESQME HAMMER (green thingy) ..... just in case my spring didn't work when i need it.
great review! i have bought this awhile back. I would like to attach it to my car keys but wondering if this would be ok for TSA? i travel a lot and i probably would forget to detach it from my car keys.
lightningsmokerXx and to all of your subscribers. company responded that at this time it is not in the approved list for TSA travel. But it is not in the denied list also. As per company rep, there has been times where TSA have allowed but other airport TSA have confiscated. So for travelers, just take note. :D Thanks again for this review.
It works under water. You Tube the RESQME tool there is a video about it. But it's the best tool if you are under water , because something like the LIFE HAMMER you cannot swing under water. This RESQME you do not need to swing, just press against the glass & the spring loaded spike will shatter it.
I have had one of these for 10 years now. I keep mine tied to the steering column, that way it never leaves my car and I don't have to carry the bulky thing on my car keys. All I have to do is reach under the steering column it's there waiting for me.
What are the chances that it stays there in the event your car is damaged to the point of actually using the product. Im going to guess it will end up down by your pedals or under your seat. Its smaller than most keychains and also clips somewere convienient
I just bought two of these. I plan to gift one to my mom's friend who loves wilderness hikes and things like that. The other? I plan to stick it in the car for my parents. I plan to make a paracord lanyard and stick it into the seatbelt. I like that it's simple to use and light. (I know that there's a "lifehammer", but that requires mounting to a car.)
lightningsmokerXx I was browsing for rescue knives and came across this item as an option. Much lighter than a knife, and requires no force to use. I just wanted to see someone talk about it before buying one, and to see how big it is!
A note to hose who try it on just any piece of glass: It's made to use on a vehicle window only, and ONLY on the edge of the window. If you try to use it on the middle of the window in a true emergency it might not work and you might die. Please watch the how-to videos made by the manufacturer of Resqme before using. For some reason TH-cam doesn't like my warnings, but I'm trying to SAVE LIVES by letting people know many of these videos on these products are showing the incorrect usage. Come on TH-cam, let me save lives!!
Look @ your side window people. That little bit of writing no one reads .... It will say Tempered or Laminated. The RESQME is designed to break Tempered Glass which most side windows are. .......... There are some new models since like 2012-present that are high end such as Volvo, certain bmw's etc etc that are using Laminated on the side glass as well. The resqme does NOT break Laminated. The windshield is laminated. Most cars side windows are however Tempered. In a rollover situation technically Laminated would hold up better or a side impact...but in terms of escaping from your car if it catches on fire or being under water you'd definitely hope to have Tempered side glass.
Now as of March 2015 there are 7 Dislikes to this video. And you have to wonder what sort of person watches a video on a tool that saves lives and hit's the Dislike Button. 2 Reasons I can think of. 1.They didn't like the way the glass or seatbelt material was demonstrated. 2.They think, i don't intend on driving in any lakes or rivers so why would I need one. Anyone who does end up in that situation is stupid/bad driver. DISLIKE.
lightningsmokerXx Some police look at that product as a burglarizing tool. The law is an ass. I have one of these tools. They are well made but you can't maintain or replace the blade, unless I missed a blade retainer. It does not work on all glass because America does not have a standard auto glass. Still, it is better to have than nothing at all in an emergency.
planetwalker ic. Ya in regards to the glass. It's only meant for the side door glass & it has to be TEMPERED glass. If the side glass is Laminated like on some volvo's. This won't break it. All cars should say on the driver and rear side glass if it's TEMPERED OR LAMINATED GLASS. Thanks for the info on the police dept.
lightningsmokerXx Your welcome. Better to know now rather than hearing it from a judge. I think that if you keep it with your 1st aid kit and other vehicle safety items then you should not have a problem, ''it is an emergency tool''. It depends on the officer, state, county and city ordinances. Re Volvo : I would have though that would be the case on all Volvo's as they go all out on safety, more of a tank than a car. What I don't get about Volvo is why they use the worst color paint on their cars that make them harder to see in certain conditions. Volvos Achilles Heel.
has anybody used this in a real situation? there are 60 plus negative reviews on amazon, primarily with people who needed it in a real situation and it failed, the 5 star reviews I couldn't find one where the person actually used it.
Yes They work. They are standard issue on the Florida Highway Patrol. And used with the Michigan State Police. There is a video with a Florida Dive Team using this underwater. If you buy one, test it to make sure the spring works. I've ordered 30+ of these and had 1 out of the box with a defective spring.
Nigel Naicker as a first responder I can tell you on all MVA (motor vehicle accident) we break the glass with these if someone has one, keeps all the glass from going into the car at one time onto the victim. So I would say most of the bad reviews are false. I doubt 60 people have had to use this in an emergency situation. I'm sure they bought it and tested it on glass it's not rated for them came back and said it didn't work.
Anyone think that just because they have MANUAL WIND UP/DOWN WINDOWS they can get out of a sinking car? Perhaps think again (water pressure) Check Out this Article - www.artofmanliness.com/2009/11/10/how-to-escape-a-sinking-car/ ^^ " First, don’t open the door to make your escape. While you might be able to get out, the car will quickly fill with water and sink rapidly, possibly trapping your passengers in a watery grave. Instead, roll down or break the window. "
Good try, but works best in the corner of the side window of a car or buss to evade the zombies. "TheUrbanPrepper" on TH-cam has a couple of videos breaking the side window of a car in his local "Junk Yard". Thank you for the video ! tjl
Yes, I saw the video you point to. It seems to work well. My comment was with regards to this video and the person demonstrating it. It was terrible. He showed it breaking single pane home window glass. Nothing like car safety glass. It was a horrible demonstration. Besides, White Castle is lousy also.
LightningsmokerXx - Yes, I saw the video you referenced. My comment is with regards to the demonstration in this video. It was terrible. He shows it breaking home window pane glass, which is very easy to break with just your finger or a key. It was terrible, he was an idiot for showing what he did. Besides, White Castle hamburbers are lousy also.
lightningsmokerXx - It's a lousy demonstration. Who keeps car safety glass handy??? Well if you know you're going to do this video, just go to a junk yard and buy some. Not very difficult or expensive. The only trolls here is the guy going such a bad job of showing the product and you. I was'nt the only person here that noticed it.
I watched this without audio cos its late. And it feels like you've spent too much time featuring your face and too little on demonstrating the tool. Pity...

Fucking furry
Fred you're my favorite gear tester, practical and realistic without being preachy. Thanks for the demo!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with this awesome life saving product.
Probably a good idea to have one in every vehicle. Happy New Year.

These are great little tools, I would recommend keeping one within reach of both the driver and passenger.
Great recommendation!!!
Thanks for showing us this product
You are very welcome my friend!!!

Thanks So Much. Happy New Year.
If I may get the link to buy this one
It will also break the back window glass. Any tempered glass on the vehicle it will break.
We have one, but we can't reset the spring loaded spike. Any ideas on how to do that? Maybe it's broken?
There is a telephone contact & e-mail on RESQME's Official website
Contact them, if there is a problem with it , they will replace it.
Official Website Contact Page >>> resqme.com/EN/contact/
I personally keep their RESQME and their RESQME HAMMER (green thingy) .....
just in case my spring didn't work when i need it.
What is that ball thing on the opposite end for?
To put your keys on silly
great review! i have bought this awhile back. I would like to attach it to my car keys but wondering if this would be ok for TSA? i travel a lot and i probably would forget to detach it from my car keys.

If you're underwater will the water pressure affect the glass breaking?
It works under water.

Are you going to carry one on your keychain
Awesome channel with great videos! Happy New Year!
Karl Ordorff Thank you so much and Happy New Year to you and your family.
this would be a great tool for first responders to carry
a great tool for everyone to carry.
couldn't the spike go off if it's in your pocket?
Roxasthesupersaiyan no there's a safety pin you have to remove.
Adrianne there is no safety pin to remove it's ready to go at all times.
not an issue.
You have to press it really hard there is no issues with that
Can the device be reused or is single use only? How do I test it before I need it? Because otherwise it’s too late!
It can be reused as many times as you like. At least until the blade dulls!
I just bought two of these. I plan to gift one to my mom's friend who loves wilderness hikes and things like that. The other? I plan to stick it in the car for my parents. I plan to make a paracord lanyard and stick it into the seatbelt.
I like that it's simple to use and light. (I know that there's a "lifehammer", but that requires mounting to a car.)
astrangeone Good thing you bought them. Did you buy them because you had saw them in the store? or cuz you saw Fred's channel?

I just wanted to see someone talk about it before buying one, and to see how big it is!
Awesome tool thanks for the review Fred
Great review . You sold me on it. One for the front and back of my car
Great review and great tool. I like to limit my keychain to keys only but made an exception for Resqme. We have one for every vehicle.
That is awesome!!! Thank you my friend!!!
I'm a type III person and have mine zip tied to my Oh Sh!t handle on my drivers side.
I keep one on my keychain.
Awesome my friend!!!

Nice review Fred. Thanks for showing us something so small and inexpensive that can save your life.
I zip tied them to the front driver and passenger seat belt buttons. It's the first place to go to unfasten your seat belt. 👍🏼
Look @ your side window people. That little bit of writing no one reads .... It will say Tempered or Laminated.

lightningsmokerXx Of course Volvo would do that. “Our cars have the highest safety rating ever but don’t try to get out in a hurry” lol
So then what tool would you use
use it in a CORNER of the window
What's tha difference
Cool idea. I always have a small knife around my neck. The glass breaker would be worth while.
HARMARSCH2 That is great. Thank you so much and Happy New Year to you and your family.
Great videos man!
Zach Tillman Thank you so much and Happy New Year to you and your family.

seatbelts are polyester. That glass wasn't tempered.
lol bet the emergancy diver in mythbusters could have done with it when he got stuck in seabelt for the car flip over underwater show
Have happy new year
Thank you so much and Happy New Year to you and your family.
And to your family to
No no no you need tempered glass. You broke that glass just pushing on it. I don't think the spike even came out.
Thank you for this video!
The problem with carrying that tool is that in some states it is not police friendly.
planetwalker how so ?
lightningsmokerXx Some police look at that product as a burglarizing tool.
The law is an ass.

planetwalker It's not just Volvo other brands are using the Laminated as well. You just have to check that side window to see what it says.
Great review !!!
