After reading the other comsumers horrifying review I called the company who manufactures the ResQme keychain. I am not sure how the other consumer "tested" his/her keychains but the person I talked to said it has to be tested "on" someTHING. You can not just push the botton and have it "spring" into thin air. He recommended a notebook so the device's blade would not dull. He said you can even use this device more than once. Fire fighters and Police Officers, Rescue Personnel do use this or the Life Hammer. He said the disadvantage of the Life Hammer is that if you are submerged under water you are not able to swing the Life Hammer, where with the ResQme keychain it is spring loaded.
After a 22 year old woman just died from sliding off a highway during a Minnesota blizzard into a ice cold lake,(12-8-09) I am getting ReQme keychains for all my family members for Christmas gifts! I would rather take the chance of it not working than my family members not have it at all. I do have faith that it WILL work.
Any questions please call the Life Hammer and ResQme keychains manufactuer. Their phone number can be found online.

I ordered 5 of these - 2 black, 2 red, 1 green. I tested the window break mechanism as suggested on a cardboard box. All of them worked except for the green one. For some reason my order was mistakenly sent twice and in the new order the green still did not work. Not sure if maybe there was a production issue with the green ones. Anyway, I returned it and ordered the pink as a replacement and it works fine. The return process was very easy.

Less than $8, in this case! I feel MUCH safer driving with my children (and childcare kids) anywhere, thanks to the LifeHammer! I love the convenient size, ability to take it anywhere, and it also helps me find my keys. :)I've shown all the kids how to use it and they've practiced with it, both the full-size and keychain versions. I read reviews on these for awhile before deciding on them; I'm glad I ignored the negative reviews. We couldn't be happier and each of us even has the full-size version, just to be extra safe. I love the pink color, too, something in short supply in our home since we have all boys. Of course, until I actually use this, it's tough to review, but I know it can knock out a window because I had to do that to my rear window when my car rolled next to a canyon when I was 17.

I bought 2 of these, one for my wife and a black one for me. I hope I never have to use either one. The spring loaded punch works just fine on my 2. More then anything I think it is a nice insurance piece. I wish that they were thinner though. With a larger key fob (Dodge) it is bulky in your pocket.

I haven't had to use the lifehammer but it is nice knowing it is handy. The orange color does make it easy to spot whether I am looking for my keys or in an emergency situation.

I like this vs. the "hammer" style window breakers - all you have to do is press it against the window.

I was stupid enough to buy these things as gifts after I saw all the rave reviews! I can't figure out how to make it work. Even if it would work, it says it won't work on laminated windows! I was a SUCKER! If Amazon keeps selling junk like this, I may have to quit buying from Amazon!

It is an excellent product. The blade will cut through anything I tried it on. Also the glass breaker is incredibly strong. I was unable to set it off with my finger (which is a good thing!) I pushed it onto the ground and it actually punched a small hole into my wood floor. That scared the heck out of me because I was not aware that the glass breaker was spring action. Seeing the hole in my floor I am positive this could break glass if I ever need it to and I dont have to worry about accidentally hurting myself either.

I was a career FF in a previous life and this is perfect for breaking side window glass and cutting seat belts. I bought this for overseas travel and for the car. It is small, lightweight, and sturdy. The black "plug" for the key ring that is in front of the razor blade does take some pull to remove, but after taking if off a few times it has loosened up, but not the the point where it will fall off. It still needs a good tug.

The seat belt slides between the prongs for cutting. There is a key ring included so you can add it to your car keys.

The spring loaded plunger works too. I tested it on a piece of scrap lumber. Just press down and ...POP! The metal pin inside pops out and it left a good dent in the wood. It should have no problems breaking the side window glass in a vehicle. Be sure to place the pin in a corner near the top of the window. When the glass breaks, it won't cut you when it lands on your hand or arm. You can also use the pin on the front or rear windshield, but it won't shatter the glass like the side window, but you can put spider web cracks in the glass. This makes it easier to kick or push something through the windshield like an umbrella or windshield scraper.

The pin will work underwater too. You don't have to swing this to break the glass. Just press it against the window and keep pressing, it will pop. I hope it makes it through TSA, I don't see why it shouldn't. I plan on buying more for family as gifts.
