How to use resqme
|
|
|
---|---|---|
Grab the resqmePut your finger through the ring and pull out the clip to unveil the stainless steel blade. It is the easiest way. |
Cut the jammed seat beltCut diagonally to ensure a cut in one go. It takes less than 2 seconds to cut the jammed seat belt! One resqme can cut up to 100 individual seat belts. |
Break the tempered glass windowPush the head of the tool (black cylindrical part), firmly, against one of the corner of the tempered glass side window. It won't work on laminated glass! For best results, press against the corners, not the center. |
Where to place the resqme?
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
On the rear view mirrorWhere it will be easily accessible for you and for your front passenger. |
On the headrestThis way, it will be easily accessible for your back passengers in case of emergency. |
On the gear stickVery convenient spot to ensure the tool will not get lost in case of a rollover. |
On your keysAlways a safe bet! Carry it with you anywhere and it will come handy in an emergency situation, inside or outside the car. |
How does it work?
The resqme tool attaches to your keychain with a detachable clip. In the event of an emergency, pull the resqme tool away from the clip to reveal the blade. If the seatbelt is jammed, cut the belt by hooking the blade over and slicing it across.
To break the window, press the black head of the tool against the corner of the window and it will release the spring-loaded spike and shatter the glass. The resqme tool does not work on car windshields. It is effective only against tempered glass commonly used in side windows.
How do I remove the safety blade clip?
First attach the key ring or the cable tie (or the lanyard if you purchased the Premium Accessory Pack) around the loop of the clip to have more of a grip. Then unsnap the clip (pull straight / brisk movement) using the key ring or the cable tie around the loop.
Please note that without support of key ring or the cable tie it can be a little difficult to remove the blade clip and can cause the resqme to break.
How do I know the type of glass used in my car?
Most sunroofs and rear windows are tempered. To figure out what kind of glass is in the side window of your car, you can look in the bottom corner. There may be a label that says 'tempered' or 'laminated.' If not, roll down the window and look at it from a bird’s-eye view. If it’s smooth and looks like one piece, it’s tempered. If it looks like a sandwich with a ridge, it’s laminated.
Is the resqme reusable?
Yes! resqme is designed to be used more than 1 time!
The spring-loaded spike resets automatically and can be used multiple times.
The blade is very durable and can easily perform multiple seat belt cuts.

I thoroughly believe I'm not exaggerating when I say this device has the potential to save your life or the life of another driver or passenger.
Consider this short story:
You are driving your vehicle and before you realize what's happened your vehicle is now in a body of water (for whatever reason, be it fatigue, texting while driving, etc.) next to the formerly peaceful highway you were driving on. Vehicles sink fast and stay sunk. Your car is beginning to sink, and water's beginning to rise above the top of the vehicle. You can't break any of the windows with your hands or by kicking them. You remember your cousin, who is a police officer, gave you a dinky bright yellow little keychain one Christmas (and/or other annual holiday of your choosing) that you threw on your keyring to make him happy and haven't thought about since. That keychain is the ResQMe. You remember it had a spring loaded window punch, and press it against the glass beside you, which is now thoroughly covered by water. The pane of safety glass shatters. You take a few gulps of air, hold your breath, and dive into the water that's rushing into your vehicle and make it out with only a few cuts and bruises.
If you ever had to use this tool it probably wouldn't be quite that poetic, however it does have the potential to get you out of some serious situations. It's useful for any time windows on your vehicle needs to be broken so you can escape. This could, potentially, be after a collision, or like in the example above if you vehicle was submerged in water, or if your vehicle was on fire and you couldn't escape through a door for whatever reason.
It also has a seat belt cutter, which is also useful in any situation where you're unable to unlatch the safety belt, be it water, fire, collision, etc.
I probably wouldn't recommend the ResQMe for first responders, firefighters, police officers, etc. for on the job use, since you'd want something a little larger and heavy duty. The tools is fairly small, so it may be cumbersome in thick gloves, for example.
That being said, from my experiences this tool has been quite tough. I've thrown mine, stepped on it, and sat on it. It shows no indication that it's ready to fail. For the average person, this is something you need. For a first responder, it's an excellent backup.
The window punch is self-resetting and appears that it can stand up to numerous uses. The seatbelt cutter also appears that it would hold up after quite a few uses as well.
The ResQMe keychain is, for the most part, small enough to keep on your key ring without it causing a problem. It doesn't add significant weight to your keys. You will know that you've put it on your key ring, but perhaps that can serve as a reminder that it's available if you ever need it.
The yellow (which is the only color I have experience with) is bright and fairly easy to see. Personally, because this is an emergency tool, I want it to stand out. It comes in other colors as well for those who have different tastes. The colors I recall are, aside from the yellow, green, orange, pink, blue, and black.
If you drive, you need to have an escape plan for vehicle emergencies. That could be the original LifeHammer, this wonderful keychain, or another company's product. The ResQMe is the best escape tool I've found in my searching because it fits on a key ring easily, feels sturdy, and has two tools (the seatbelt cutter and window punch). It's fairly compact, and because I always have my keys with me, the ResQMe is always along with me as well.
This weird looking key chain is up there with CPR (and a CPR mask) in how essential it is. It's something you pray to never have to use, but you'll feel good knowing you're prepared.
Bottom line: Anyone who drives needs one.
Warning: the glass breaking mechanism is spring loaded!!! I was overworked and very tired and kept pushing down in the black part and the glass breaker wouldn't come out (luckily, it would have hurt me) so my genius brain pressed it down on a napkin on our table top. Our glass. Table. Top. Which then promptly shattered - but with ease! 110% my fault. But glad to see it works!

Warning: the glass breaking mechanism is spring loaded!!!

Our glass. Table. Top. Which then promptly shattered - but with ease! 110% my fault. But glad to see it works!
Cons: I highly doubt this is for heavy duty work. If you're someone like a fireman, who is frequently breaking people out of their cars, don't get this. The directions state it can be used "multiple times", which to me sounds like no more than several. If you need something heavy duty, get a non-automatic window hammer. I have one in my car console and those have a bit of weight to them. This tool seems more for those of us who hope we'll never have to use it. Also, the color isn't as bright as it is in the picture. I would like something a little brighter in an emergency situation. Lastly, some grips or non-slip material would have been a nice touch. It's slightly difficult to keep a good grasp on it when you're trying to apply enough pressure to activate the metal punch. I imagine it would be even more difficult if your car would be going under water.
I know the cons seem large, but I bought it to escape a car in case of emergency, and I feel that it can perform that task. If my car should ever happen to catch fire or drive into a lake and I can't get out, I think this tool will give me a much better chance than if I was improvising on the fly.
These are multi purpose and give me peace of mind in case they needed them in an emergency situation.

望んでいなくても、自分の意思に関係なく、突然やってくるのが災害や事故です。
それは車に乗っているときかもしれません。
自分の車に非常用ハンマーを備えている人はいても、会社の車や友人の車に非常用ハンマーが備えられているか確認したことがある人は少ないのではないでしょうか。
これなら、家の鍵とかと一緒に持ち歩け、会社の車を運転中に災害に巻き込まれた場合や、友人の車で旅行中に事故に巻き込まれた場合に、車内から避難する一助になります。
サイズは小さく、持ち運びの邪魔になりません。
ガラスを割る際もポンチ式なので押し当てればOKですし、ベルトカッターも付属しています。
幸いにも実際に使用したことはありませんが、お守りとして日々持ち歩いています。
Another friend had purchased a different brand and had tucked it under his visor but when he was in a collision, the visor fell down, along with it his safety device, which got lost in the car. Moral of the story, make use of the key chain component of this to ensure it doesn't go flying in case of emergency.
