Frequently Asked Questions About Resqme
Will the resqme® tool break all car windows?
The resqme® tool is specifically engineered to break tempered glass, which is standard in most car side and rear windows. It is not effective on laminated glass, commonly used for windshields and sometimes in side windows of certain models. To confirm your side window type, check for a “Tempered” label on the window sticker. If unsure, consult your car manufacturer for clarification.
How can I identify the type of glass in my car windows?
Most sunroofs and rear windows are made of tempered glass. For side windows, check the bottom corner for a label indicating “tempered” or “laminated.” If no label is visible, roll down the window and view it from above. Tempered glass will appear smooth and uniform, while laminated glass will resemble a layered sandwich with a visible edge.
Is the resqme® tool designed for multiple uses?
Yes, resqme® is reusable. The spring-loaded spike automatically resets, ready for repeated use. The robust blade is also designed to perform numerous seat belt cuts without losing effectiveness.
How can I safely test the resqme® tool?
To test the window breaker function, ensure you wear safety gloves and goggles when practicing on actual car glass. Alternatively, test it on a firm surface like a thick notepad. You will hear a distinct “click” when the spring-loaded spike is activated. Upon lifting the tool, the spike resets automatically. A small indentation will be visible on the test surface. The seatbelt cutter is exceptionally sharp; to test, hold a seatbelt taut and slice diagonally with the tool pulled towards you.
Why does the spike appear misaligned inside the tool?
This is intentional design. The spike is offset when not in use. Upon pressing the resqme against a window or hard surface, an internal mechanism aligns and centers the spike, allowing the spring to propel it forward for effective breaking.
Is there a risk of accidental spike release?
No, the resqme® tool is engineered to prevent accidental deployment. It requires 12 pounds of pressure applied to the head to activate the spring-loaded spike, making accidental release during normal carry in a keychain, pocket, or bag impossible. Avoid testing directly on fingers to prevent injury.
Can I bring the resqme® tool on an airplane in carry-on luggage?
Due to the integrated blade, it is recommended to pack your resqme® tool in checked baggage to avoid potential confiscation by airport security.
Are there any glow-in-the-dark resqme car escape tools available?
Currently, none of the resqme car escape tools glow in the dark. However, a glow-in-the-dark version is under development and is expected to be released sometime in 2024.
What should I do if my package is marked delivered but is missing?
If your package is marked as delivered but you haven’t received it, please contact us immediately via email at [email protected] or call 805-568-0227. Provide your full name and order number so we can promptly begin processing a replacement for you.
Which shipping carrier does resqme use for deliveries?
For purchases made through our website, resqme exclusively uses USPS, offering three shipping options to best suit your delivery needs.
What is the purpose of the three O-rings included in accessory kits?
The three small flexible O-rings included with accessory kits are designed to provide a tighter, more secure fit for the resqme tool when used with the visor clip.
How do I detach the safety blade clip from the Resqme tool?
To remove the safety blade clip, first, attach either the key ring or cable tie (or lanyard from the Premium Accessory Pack) around the clip’s loop to enhance grip. Then, firmly unsnap the clip with a straight, brisk movement, utilizing the added leverage from the key ring or cable tie. Note: attempting to remove the clip without this added support can be difficult and may risk damaging the resqme.
Warranty Information
Your resqme purchase is protected by a 1-year product warranty. Please note that the warranty is void if the resqme® is used on materials other than tempered glass, such as metal or laminated glass. Warranty is also voided by misuse, including applying excessive force that results in damage to the clip guard.
Important Warning
resqme® is exclusively intended for emergency vehicular escape situations and must not be used for any purpose other than rescue. It is ineffective on windshields and designed only for tempered glass side and rear windows.

Effective Only on Tempered Glass
Understanding vehicle glass types is crucial for emergency preparedness. Vehicles use primarily tempered and laminated glass. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into small, relatively harmless pieces, while laminated glass, composed of multiple layers fused with plastic, is significantly stronger to prevent ejection during accidents. Resqme is specifically effective on tempered glass only. Knowing your vehicle’s window types is essential for effective emergency escape planning.
