Why LifeHammer The demand for high-performance automobile safety equipment is on the rise, and Innovation Distributing's LifeHammer is fast becoming standard safety equipment in vehicles all across North America. The LifeHammer cuts through safety belts and smashes car windows with a single gesture, allowing trapped passengers to quickly escape. Entrapment is a real threat to motorists. Last year, AAA estimated that more than 11,000 vehicles sank in canals, lakes or other waterways, resulting in 292 deaths - almost one per day. According to statistics gathered by the National Highway Safety Council, incidents of entrapment increased by 100% between 1995 and 1998. A potential factor is the growing prevalence of power windows that can become jammed due to submersion or fire. Simple to Use In the event of a life-threatening auto entrapment emergency, time is of the essence. That's why LifeHammer is designed with simplicity in mind. LifeHammer comes complete with a mounting bracket that both holds the tool securely in place and allows it to be mounted in your car within reach of the driver (professional mounting is recommended). In the event of entrapment in your vehicle just grab hold of the head of the LifeHammer, pulling it up and away from the mounting bracket. Use the razor-sharp blade to slice through your seat belt and swing the LifeHammer towards the side window to break the glass. The effectiveness of the blade is proven as a one-time use only, while the head can be reused many times, but should be inspected after every use. Mountable protection to shatter windows and cut through seat beats in the event of an auto entrapment emergency. View larger. European Craftsmanship and US Law Enforcement Approved Made in Holland, the LifeHammer has been endorsed by European traffic safety organizations for over 15 years. Since Innovation Distributing launched the LifeHammer in North America in 1997, it has been tested and approved by the FBI and the United States Marshalls and is gaining rapid support from Public Safety Departments across the country. Compact, lightweight, and easy to use, the LifeHammer is an essential tool for preventing senseless fatalities due to accidental entrapment in a vehicle.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great hammer, terrible mounting system, June 28, 2007

By 

NI (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: LifeHammer The Original Emergency Hammer (Stay Glow) (Misc.)

The hammer itself is great- lightweight, sturdy construction, 5/5 stars. The mounting bracket is another story entirely. It has to be installed with screws, yet the instructions recommend against doing this yourself for fear of damaging electrical wiring. Then they suggest using velcro or double-sided tape, but none is included in the box. To make matters worse, the bracket is concave, so you can't install it against a flat surface. I'm debating whether to return this product- I know it's important to have in the car, but it's going to be impossible to install.

The picture on Amazon makes the hammer look like it's made of metal. It's actually very cheap silver plastic, and had a crack in it. I sent it back.

The life hammer is of a solid construction and one can see that it is a quality product.
I got one of these after seeing it on a episode of MythBusters, the amazon "glow in the dark" version is pretty neat and works very well.

This is a saftey item that I feel is well worth every last cent.
