The hammer in my work vehicle was moved by the company from the dash to the ceiling just behind the front light, so it would be accessible to most of the people in the vehicle.

I hate to be a spoil sport, but I would not be placing that thing anywhere near anyone's head or on a seatbelt next to my body. Looking at the mounting bracket, its plastic and holds the hammer in place with a flimsy tab. I would especially not place it overhead where someone's face could come into contact with it in a rollover. And if its on your seatbelt, what is going to happen when a pyrotechnic airbag comes into contact with it.

I happen the think the Life Hammer more marketing hype than anything else. You don't need a hammer to take out a side window in a car, a simple center punch will do and a seat belt can be sliced with much smaller and easier to carry tools which do not have the likelihood of becoming a missle or head-bash point in a collision. Benchmade makes a nice pocket carry all-in-one solution easily carried from vehicle to vehicle. Even the small Res-Q-Me could hang on a keychain and perform the same function.

Think about where you or your unbelted passengers are going to end up in a collision. Notice how the car industry has padded everything that your head may hit and how safety glass breaks on moderate impact into tiny pieces. YMMV.
