Safety Tools You Can't Live Without

Safety Tools You Can't Live Without

This story is a sad reminder that lives can be lost in the blink of an eye.  If only the car occupant or the first responder had the proper tool it may not have ended with the same results.  The side windows and rear glass of most vehicles are tempered glass, which is a safety glass that breaks into small beads when broken.  However, the tempered glass is strong and when a vehicle is submerged in water the pressure increases the difficulty of breaking this glass.  There are small tools designed to break this glass in the case of an emergency and we strongly suggest everyone purchase one to keep in their glove compartment.  Then  in the event of an accident the tool can be retrieved to break out the glass and cut the seat belt so the occupant can escape the vehicle and swim to safety.
