The Gerber Hinderer Rescue is another option. Glass breaker, one-handed opener, seatbelt tool swings away, O2 wrench, and the tip of the blade is a prybar. equipped.org review here: http://www.equipped.org/hinderer_rescue.htmpics here: http://www.equipped.org/pp/pic1676.htmBTW, the knife's profile is so flat, I can even carry this when wearing a suit.

I like the RESQME tool, I carry one on my steering column, held in place by a velcro strap. My local PD carries them on the car keys.

The wife carries a ResQme on her keychain. One of the only preparedness items she has ever asked for on her own. She also wants a life hammer for the vehicles, so as soon as we have the money I'm gonna buy a pair and install them.

I keep the strap cutter from my LMF2 strapped to my seat belt. I couldn't come up with a better place than that where I was sure I could reach it trapped upside down.

I keep the strap cutter from my LMF2 strapped to my seat belt. I couldn't come up with a better place than that where I was sure I could reach it trapped upside down. I was sitting in my truck the other day, waiting on someone for almost an hour, contemplating where I could attach my Smith & Wesson Rescue Knife so that it would be within reach if needed. I hadn't considered placing it on the seatbelt but I will now. Thanks for the idea. I also keep a ResQMe in one of the truck's cubby holes.

Consider where it will end up if there is an accident. If it's not in someplace with a cover, you may never be able to locate it after a wreck -- especially a roll-over.

I don't see why it wouldn't work just as well under water as above, same principal right? Next chance I get I'll run my truck into a lake and try it, if I don't get back to ya, go ahead and figure it didn't work.....lol sorry had to say that. I don't think you go wrong with one.

Yeah, it's in a covered compartment but I am not confident that the cover will stay closed in a crash. That's why I am looking at attachment options for the larger tool.

I don't consider 'clipped to the visor' to be a very good place for emergency gear. Several years ago I have a garage door opener that was very tightly clipped to the visor and when we got rear ended in an accident, it flew off with enough force to cut the rear seat passenger across the head requiring over a dozen stitches.

It's possible the water would soften the blow just enough to make it ineffective. I'd like to know if it would or wouldn't though.
