How to use resqme
Grab the resqme
Put your finger through the ring and pull out the clip to unveil the stainless steel blade. It is the easiest way.
Cut the jammed seat belt
Cut diagonally to ensure a cut in one go. It takes less than 2 seconds to cut the jammed seat belt! One resqme can cut up to 100 individual seat belts.
Break the tempered glass window
Push the head of the tool (black cylindrical part), firmly, against one of the corner of the tempered glass side window. It won’t work on laminated glass! For best results, press against the corners, not the center.
Where to place the resqme?
On the rear view mirror
Where it will be easily accessible for you and for your front passenger.
On the headrest
This way, it will be easily accessible for your back passengers in case of emergency.
On the gear stick
Very convenient spot to ensure the tool will not get lost in case of a rollover.
On your keys
Always a safe bet! Carry it with you anywhere and it will come handy in an emergency situation, inside or outside the car.
How does it work?
The resqme tool attaches to your keychain with a detachable clip. In the event of an emergency, pull the resqme tool away from the clip to reveal the blade. If the seatbelt is jammed, cut the belt by hooking the blade over and slicing it across.
To break the window, press the black head of the tool against the corner of the window and it will release the spring-loaded spike and shatter the glass. The resqme tool does not work on car windshields. It is effective only against tempered glass commonly used in side windows.
How do I remove the safety blade clip?
First attach the key ring or the cable tie (or the lanyard if you purchased the Premium Accessory Pack) around the loop of the clip to have more of a grip. Then unsnap the clip (pull straight / brisk movement) using the key ring or the cable tie around the loop.
Please note that without support of key ring or the cable tie it can be a little difficult to remove the blade clip and can cause the resqme to break.
How do I know the type of glass used in my car?
Most sunroofs and rear windows are tempered. To figure out what kind of glass is in the side window of your car, you can look in the bottom corner. There may be a label that says ‘tempered’ or ‘laminated.’ If not, roll down the window and look at it from a bird’s-eye view. If it’s smooth and looks like one piece, it’s tempered. If it looks like a sandwich with a ridge, it’s laminated.
Is the resqme reusable?
Yes! resqme is designed to be used more than 1 time!
The spring-loaded spike resets automatically and can be used multiple times.
The blade is very durable and can easily perform multiple seat belt cuts.
