Frequently asked questions
Does the resqhammer™ tool work on all car windows?
The resqhammer˜ tool is effective only against clear and tinted tempered glass. Tempered glass is commonly used in rear and side car windows. The resqhammer˜ tool does NOT work on laminated glass. Laminated windows which are typically used for windshields can also be found on some car models. To check to see what your side windows are made of, locate the sticker on your side windows to see if it is designated as “Tempered” glass. If you are unable to locate the sticker or the information is not understandable, please call your car manufacturer. You can find a list of some vehicles equipped with laminated windows in the US at: http://www.epgaa.com/applications/index.asp. This list is not comprehensive so we recommend contacting your car manufacturer directly.
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 resqhammer™ reusable?
Yes. The spike can be used multiple times. The blade is very durable and can easily perform multiple seat belt cuts.
How can I test the resqhammer™?
If you’re going to test the window breaker on a car glass window, be sure to wear safety gloves and goggles. Alternatively, you can test the window breaker on a hard surface like a notepad. You will see a small dent where the tip of the spike met the testing surface after contact with at least 12 lbs. of pressure. The seatbelt cutter blade is very sharp and will easily cut through seatbelts. Hold the seatbelt tape taut and pull the tool toward you, cutting it diagonally.
Can I take the resqhammer™ on the airplane in my carry-on?
The TSA has not evaluated the resqhammer™ tool nor listed it on the forbidden items list. Due to its size and design, it does not show up in X-rays. However, considering it contains a blade, we recommend you pack the resqhammer™ tool in your checked luggage to avoid the risk of confiscation.
Warranty
Your purchase includes a 1 year product warranty. Attempting to use resqhammer™ on any material besides tempered glass such as metal, laminated glass, etc. will void the warranty.
Warning
resqhammer™ is designed solely for use in vehicular emergency situations and must not be used for any purpose other than rescue. Does not work on windshields. Only for tempered glass.

Excellent product, very speedy delivery and easy to order!
I just wish it was clearer that the price is only American $… The US is not the only country which uses dollars… It’s a bit irritating to pay a surprise premium with the exchange rate. Could be fixed very easily by indicating USD.

No instructions but I guess it’s pretty self-evident.

it seems to me a product as this cannot be rated until it’s used. thankfully i have not needed to use it. an experience review at this time is quite premature.
