Columbia River Knife & Tool CRKT Exitool Emergency Multitool: Automotive Safety, Seat Belt Strap Cutter, Tungsten Carbide Window Breaker, LED Light, Clips to Seat Belt 9030

I purchased this for a little added security and safety and ended up flipping my truck but it cane flying off my seatbelt and was left hanging quite literally. Maybe there should be a stronger Latch holding it in place

Other reviews said that the tool does not stay attached to your seat belt. I bought it hoping CKRT had improved the design since those reviews. At this time, they have not. These fall off every couple weeks and then you have to dig them out from under your seat. I get that we want them to be easy to pull of the seat belt for an emergency, but I think a positive lock is more important. If my tool is under my seat when the car crashes into a river I would rather have to fight to get it off the seatbelt than desperately look around my car for wherever the tool landed.I'd love to try out the improved model if you guys make it! Your other products I've purchased were great

I go through phases of being completely paranoid and worry about things that could or could not happen. Recently, it was the scenario ‘What if I crashed my car in a body of water and couldn’t get out?’ Cue this guy. It snaps right on your seatbelt so you know it’ll be there even if you flip your car. So I can unsnap it, rip my seatbelt off, and break the glass and successful escape and also save whoever’s in the car with me (aka my kids). I hope that never happens but if it does, I’m prepared. Haven’t had to use it yet but I feel a little better knowing I have it. Smart move to attach it to the seatbelt and that it’s not in the way at all.

I like the idea and bought two of these. One for drivers seatbelt and one on the passenger side. On of them had something going on with the light switch, the light came on with the slightest pressure against the tool body. The second one didn't have this issue. I don't really care since I didn't buy these for the light, but worth a mention. I've noticed with the tight space of my small car it does like to occasionally pop off the seatbelt. I can understand making it open easily for when you actually need it though. I haven't tested the cutters because I want them to stay as sharp as they can be in case they're needed. The glass breaker should be perfectly functional, but I do prefer the spring loaded breaker on the res-q-me tool.

This is a great design idea for an emergency car exit tool. I like having it on the seatbelt, so it is more likely to be accessible in an emergency. Mine has not fallen off while fastening the seatbelt, as others have reported. (Note there are 4 possible orientations to attach the device.) I like having both a window breaker and belt cutter in the same device. I hope I never have to use it!

Let me start this by saying that I am ordering a second one of these so they are of good enough quality to work with. I am also playing with the Res Q Me, but since I drive a push button start vehicle it was not ideal for that vehicle.In reviewBad: Flashlight is not much at all and should not be counted on at all. Clasp is not tight enough to stay on seat-belt without you working on it.Good: Once you work on it a bit this item is conveniently placed where you are likely to be able to reach it should you need it and is well made enough to work as intended.Fixes: Flashlight; Not a chance I would never depend on this laughable light. Clasp to hold it on seat belt; A piece of electricians tape or black duct tape added to one side will make the clasp stay shut with more authority and as of yet has not fallen off in my month or so daily testing. If it ever does I will as a second piece of tape to the other side so the clasp is even tighter.

Firstly, I do like this product and feel it will work if needed. This device should not be purchased because it is well designed or of stellar quality, but because of it's convenience. In an emergency you would not need to see to find it as it is attached to your seatbelt.I have not tested the ability to break a standard car window with this device but it will certainly cut through a seatbelt. In my experience it is difficult to break a window with a steel tip device like those on the end of 'specialty' tools or knives without being near the frame (where the glass won't move when struck). It seems likely this device would be difficult to hold as it is just a small plastic square with nothing beveled in to keep your fingers in place.

very useful and compact. i think i'll add one to more of the seatbelts in my truck and use the RESQUE-ME and larger one in my big medical kits to be useful for other folk's vehicles during emergencies. these are more useful and don't need to be hung awkwardly or screwed into the door panel to be accessible. only issue i see is some folks might not be able to reach it with both hands depending, but at least it is on the inside arm side and less likely to be blocked by an accident and would just be about that person's mobility
