Frequently asked questions
Does the resqme® tool work on all car windows?
The resqme® tool is effective only against clear and tinted tempered glass. Tempered glass is commonly used in rear and side car windows. The resqme® 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.
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 resqme® reusable?
Yes. The spring-loaded spike resets automatically and can be used multiple times. The blade is very durable and can easily perform multiple seat belt cuts.
How can I test the resqme®?
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. When the spring-loaded spike is released, you will hear a “click.” After you lift up the tool again, another spring resets the spike so you can use it again. You will see a small dent where the tip of the spike met the testing surface. 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.
When I look inside the tool where the spring-loaded spike is located, it seems the spike is misaligned. Is that normal?
The resqme® tool is designed this way. When not in use, the spike is not aligned with the hole. When you push the head of the resqme tool against a window or hard surface to activate the window breaker, an internal plastic shoulder centers the spike and the spring propels it forward and through the hole.
Will the spike accidentally release?
The resqme® tool will not accidentally deploy and cannot be triggered while you carry it on your keychain, pocket, or bag. In order to release the spring-loaded spike, 12 pounds of force needs to be intentionally applied to the tool. Do not press the head of the tool against your fingers to test it. With enough force, the spike will release and likely cause physical injury.
Can I take the resqme® on the airplane in my carry-on?
As it contains a blade, we recommend that you carry the resqme® tool in your checked baggage to avoid the risk of confiscation.
Do any of the resqme car escape tools glow in the dark?
No. None of our resqme car escape tools glow in the dark, However we are in the process of creating one and releasing it sometime in 2024.
What can I do if my package is marked as delivered but I cant find it ?
If your package is marked as delivered but you cannot locate it, reach out to us via email or phone info@resqme.com or 805-568-0227 Please provide with your first & last name as well as order number. So we can begin the process of sending you a replacement.
What Shipping company do you use?
When buying off of our website, resqme ships exclusively with USPS offering you 3 different shipping options to best fit your needs.
What are the three O-rings used for on the accessory kits?
We include 3 small flexable O-rings in order to give the resqme tool a tighter fit while it’s in the visor clip.
How do I remove the safety blade clip?
First attach the key ring or the cable tie (or the lanyard if you purchased the Premium Accessory Pack) around the loop of the clip to have more of a grip. Then unsnap the clip (pull straight / brisk movement) using the key ring or the cable tie around the loop. Please note that without support of key ring or the cable tie it can be a little difficult to remove the blade clip and can cause the resqme to break.
Warranty
Your purchase includes a 1 year product warranty. Attempting to use resqme® on any material besides tempered glass such as metal, laminated glass, etc. will void the warranty. Improper use of the resqme®, including using excessive force to pull down and release the tool, causing the clip guard to break, will void the warranty.
Warning
resqme® 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.
How to
Product Usage and Guidelines
Videos
Instructional Videos and Lifestyle Examples
Only breaks tempered glass
When is comes to vehicle manufacturing, there are two main types of glass utilized; laminated and tempered glass. Tempered glass fractures into small chunks in order to prevent injury caused by sharp edges. Laminated glass consists of two or more panes of glass that are fused together by a sheet of plastic, making it harder to break in order to prevent ejections in an accident. The device will work on tempered glass only and not laminated glass. It is important to research the type of glass used in each of the windows of your vehicle(s) in order to equip yourself with the proper protocol to escape in the event of an emergency.
Beware of fake resqme® copies
The original resqme® tool is made in the USA. Resqme is a registered trademark licensed to resqme, Inc. Unfortunately, there are counterfeit copies of our tool available online, and we are working hard on having all counterfeit listings removed. Our number one priority is the safety of our customers so we want to spread awareness about these fake tools because they will most likely not work during an emergency. If you come across a resqme® tool and wonder if it is real or fake, please feel free to email us pictures and information at info@resqme.com and we will be happy to confirm if it is the original tool.

Honestly, it looks like plastic junk but it breaks a car window with just pressing against an edge of the glass like it was hit with a sledge hammer. Very light weight. Also cuts seatbelt if you are upside down and can’t get it to release because your body weight is pressing against the lock. If you can’t afford $9.00 to save your life, find a used spark plug to break car windows.

I bought these for peace of mind and gave to all family members. It’s important to know that they can get out of their vehicles if they become trapped. Everyone should use these and think ahead. No one wants to think the worst can happen but if it does be prepared.

It appears the best way to order the Resqme product is directly from the company. It was just as cheap and faster than Amazon.

So far, I haven’t needed to use this (I just received it) and I suspect that if I’m lucky, I won’t have to!!! However, it’s a relief to know that I have some practical options if I’m trapped in a car! (And, by the way, my name is Theo Tucker, but I’m a woman, so PLEASE don’t send mail to “Mr. Theo Tucker!” Happens every day and it’s getting really old!!!!)

Good. Good speed, good product. No problems. Definitely would recommend, I bought two of the keychain classic glass breakers and seatbelt cutters. I bought two because shipping one seemed dumb. Gave one to my roommate. Cuz like… yeah he’s not my mom or anything, but I don’t want him to drown in a lake.
Anyway. They seem to work well. I hope I never have to use it to save my life because it would be nice to not be in the life threatening situation in the first place. Don’t text and drive. Definitely don’t drink and drive you buzz nugget.

I have saved many people over my career as a conservation officer, including several water rescues. I think the device is so small, it will be hard to hold in a stressful situation.

I love the resqme tool so much!! As a Eagle Scout being prepared is my #1 goal. Having a small, light tool like the resqme tool helps me achieve that goal. I’m also a police officer and being able to have a tool that doesn’t take up a lot of space on my duty belt is paramount. I keep my tool on my key ring holder and if I ever need to save someone or myself I know I have the tool vital to saving lives. The compact size and various mounting abilities makes this tool my number one everyday carry tool.

tracking was hard due to a snow storm & USPS.
NC Smith –
Reasonably fast shipping packed well. Looks nice but I haven’t had an occasion that necessitated cutting my seat belt in I/2 nor do I wish to break my car window, or anyone else’s either. So I can’t comment on how well it may work. Stay tuned
