Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

LifeHammer not only is the next step in the evolution of vehicle safety, but can also be held in the palm of the driver's hand. Consisting of a double-tipped hardened steel hammer, and a safe seat belt cutting blade, it is designed as an aid drivers and passengers who, in the event of an emergency, need to quickly escape from their vehicle. Whether the emergency is due to submersion in water, a fire or a related event, this lifesaving device is easily stored out of the way, yet within range of the driver.

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 motion, 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.

German Craftsmanship and US Law Enforcement Approved
The LifeHammer was originally invented in Germany in 1983 and 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.

Features:

  • Double-sided head with hardened steel points shatters vehicle windows in an emergency.
  • Includes mounting bracket to hold LifeHammer in place within your vehicle console until needed.
  • Protected razor-sharp blade to cut through a seat belt and free trapped passenger.
  • Fluorescent button for easy retrieval in the dark.
  • Awarding-winning design is patented worldwide.
  • Compact and light at 8"L x 3"W x 1-1/2" Thick and only 4.9 ounces.

5.0 out of 5 stars Could Be a Lifesaver, September 1, 2006
By Jake Beckham (Dallas TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Car side windows are tough and almost impossible to break without a tool. This tool has pointed heads on the hammer which will cause the tempered glass in side windows (NOT the windshield) to shatter when hit with some force. As in all emergencies the key thing is to calm youself so you can think clearly. Mount this tool where you can easily reach it and then practice locating it and removing it from the mounting bracket with your eyes closed. With this tool you can fairly easily break the window and cut your seat belt if needed so you can exit the vehicle, hopefully before it sinks, if you have driven into flood water. You can also use it to rescue yourself or someone else trapped in a vehicle as a result of an accident that has jambed the doors where they won't open. The Today Show on NBC just recently had a segment on escaping a sinking vehicle and showed this tool in use.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hopefully you will never have use it., December 11, 2007
By HDS "stewcanoe" (Wheelersburg, OH) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
It happened at the end of our road several years ago. A mother and her child died in a car trapped in flood waters. So when our children started driving we have gotten them each a LifeHammer.

Yes, it's ugly and yes I figured they would all complain. But you know. They all have carried their hammers, and if they don't feel safer, at least I feel they are safer.

The LifeHammer is smaller than some making it easier to mount. The only complaint I have is that it fits very tightly into the holder. This certainly keeps it from bouncing out while driving but in a panic situation I would think it might be better if it came loose easier. I contacted LifeHammer to tell them of my concerns, and they told me that by fitting it tightly it forces the user to take a firm grasp on it, making it less likely they will drop it in a panic situation. That makes sense I guess.

In any case even a 5 year old can remove the hammer from the holder so I guess it is OK.

It is easy to see, and has two heads so it doesn't matter which way you hold it. Either side will shatter a window without much effort. We tried it on a junk car, and the door glass broke easily with 1 solid whack. The seat-belt knife at the end of the handle also works, though not as easily as the hammer. It took a little work to cut a seat belt, but it did work.

This is a good solid product that works exactly as designed. Well worth the price. Hopefully you'll never have to use it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tool to help you be prepared!, May 9, 2007
By RV (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
The tool delivers on all of its functional promises - effective glass hammer, belt cutter and it's at the ready! I would suggest buying some adhesive velcro or some double-stick tape to mount it to the underside of your automobile dashboard. Mount it under the steering wheel, and you'll always know where to find it.
