We featured the LifeHammer last month – a plastic safety hammer used to escape a crashed car or truck. Nov8safty also offers the ResQMe, which similarly performs the thask of cutting seat belts and busting auto glass. But unlike the LifeHammer, it’s small enough to fit on a key chain — and inexpensive enough to give away as stocking stuffers.
The ResQMe features a razor-sharp blade molded into its body as well as a spring-loaded hardened steel spike to shatter tempered glass. A plastic clip serves double duty as protection from the blade as well as an attachment point for connecting it to a key chain. A swift tug on the ResQMe separates it from the clip bringing it into action.
This device is tiny at 3″ X 1.5″ and about half an inch wide and only weighs half an ounce. And at only around $10, you might want to buy a few for you and your loved ones.
