Window Breakers & Escape Tools
Compact tools to cut a seatbelt and break a side window
Window breakers and escape tools combine a seatbelt cutter with a point designed to break tempered side glass. Many are small enough to keep in a door pocket or clip to a keychain so they are within reach in an emergency.
We highlight top-rated escape tools on Amazon so you can compare spring-loaded and hammer styles and mounting options. Keep the tool accessible and read the instructions, since they are intended for tempered side windows, not laminated windshields.
