What Rescue Tool do you use, and why?

[donvito]

I personally don't use any, my current line of work does not require it. I do own a Benchmade Rescue Hook which has a nice design IMHO. My friend a Paramedic with FDNY has a Vic Rescue Tool on his duty belt that I gave him as a gift.

I have finally used the Malice clip that benchmade gave me!

The other day I attached the rescue hook 5 to my jumbo versipack so now I have it everywhere I go

I wouldn't mind a ResQme to try out, but haven't found anyone who sells it yet

My dad has a resQme and I think its a POS Once I went to a junkyard to test out the glass breaker and it failed to break any windows. Also the blade(Xacto type) can't be replaced.

               Could be it possible that your Dad got a dud? I've heard a couple reputable organizations recommend them for keeping in vehicles?

Its possible.

I picked up a few ResQmes recently for the missus, her friend and myself. I haven't tried the glass breaker, maybe I should?

My friend replaced his windshield a few days ago and saved the old one, one of these days we'll be putting his Rescue Tool to the test. Pics and possibly a video to follow.

I'll be replacing mine soon too- and I had the same idea!

I'm guessing that you either had a dud or was not trying to break windows by using the breaker near the edges of the glass as it was intended.  They would not be able to sell this product if the glass breaker wasn't functional.

I carry a ResQMe with me at all times and so does the wife.

Fools seldome differ   I'll be using heavy duty gloves, and eye protection

Interesting idea- I'd planned to use a video camera and our health care system!

A cheap, spring loaded center punch that breaks glass very well, Vic Farmer, and a SwissTool RS.

I tried it in the middle of a side window once and nothing happened.
