At resqme, Inc., we take pride in knowing that our life-saving tools are not only trusted around the globe but are designed, assembled, and manufactured right here in the United States.
A Proud American Origin Story:
The resqme® seatbelt cutter and window breaker
The founder of resqme, Inc., Laurent Colasse, is a Frenchman who immigrated to the United States more than thirty years ago, and it is here that he founded the company. resqme, Inc. started by distributing safety hammers before coming up with a compact version, the resqme® original keychain car escape tool. Today, the resqme® car escape tool is the ONLY keychain sized 2-in-1 seatbelt cutter and window breaker made in the United States. Fun fact, the resqme® is designed, assembled, and manufactured in the suburbs of sunny Los Angeles, California. The resqme® was first developed for first responders, providing them with a reliable tool for breaking windows and cutting seat belts during critical situations like rollovers, entrapments, and car crashes. What began as a mission to help emergency professionals has since evolved into a globally recognized safety device for civilians everywhere.
Whistles for Life® survival whistle
Furthermore, in 2024, resqme, Inc. adopted the Whistles for Life® from founder, Bob Cameron. Bob Cameron has 55 years of experience as a search and rescue specialist and served several years in the United States Air Force. This whistle is used by numerous safety professionals nationwide in search and rescue, law enforcement, the National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service, boating safety groups, the U.S. Military, and more.
The Whistles for Life® emergency whistle was designed for disaster preparedness and emergency response. Unlike many emergency whistles on the market that are mass-produced overseas, Whistles for Life® are American-made from start to finish. The Whistles for Life® are manufactured in the U.S. by veterans and individuals with disabilities, reflecting our ongoing commitment to ethical sourcing, local manufacturing, and high-performance tools.
Both tools are ideal for:
✔️ Retailers that prioritize American-made goods
✔️ Organizations focused on ethical sourcing
✔️ Government agencies meeting Buy American mandates
✔️ First responders and safety-conscious consumers
Today, we continue to produce all our safety tools on American soil, something we believe sets us apart in both quality and accountability. We pride ourselves in creating durable, reliable safety tools that have saved lives for more than 25 years.
