Frequently Asked Questions About Your Rescue Me Tool Car
Will the resqme® tool function on all types of car windows?
The rescue me tool car is specifically engineered for tempered glass, commonly found in side and rear car windows. It is not effective on laminated glass, which is typically used for windshields and sometimes in side windows of certain models. To identify your side window type, check for a sticker indicating “Tempered” glass. If unsure, consult your car manufacturer for clarification.
How can I determine the type of glass in my car windows?
Tempered glass is standard for most sunroofs and rear windows. For side windows, examine the bottom corner for a “tempered” or “laminated” label. If no label is present, roll down the window and view it from above. Tempered glass appears smooth and uniform, while laminated glass has a layered look, like a sandwich with an edge.
Is the resqme® rescue me tool car designed for single or multiple uses?
The resqme® is reusable. Its spring-loaded spike automatically resets, allowing for repeated window breaking. The durable blade is also capable of multiple seatbelt cuts, making it a reliable tool for various emergency scenarios.
How can I safely test my rescue me tool car?
To test the window breaker, always wear safety gloves and goggles if using car glass. A safer alternative is to test it on a firm surface like a notepad. You’ll hear a distinct “click” when the spring-loaded spike is activated. Upon lifting the tool, the spike resets for subsequent use, leaving a small indentation on the test surface. The seatbelt cutter is exceptionally sharp; test it by holding a seatbelt taut and cutting diagonally with the tool.
Inside the tool, the spike seems misaligned. Is this a defect in my rescue me tool car?
No, this is intentional design. The spike is deliberately misaligned when not in use. When pressed against a window, an internal mechanism centers and propels the spike forward for effective window breaking. This ensures safety and prevents accidental activation.
Is there a risk of accidental spike release with the rescue me tool car?
Accidental deployment is highly unlikely. The rescue me tool car requires 12 pounds of pressure to activate the spike, preventing unintended releases in your pocket or on your keychain. Avoid testing the spike on your fingers, as sufficient force can cause injury.
Can I bring my rescue me tool car on an airplane in carry-on luggage?
Due to the blade component, it is advisable to pack your rescue me tool car in checked baggage to avoid potential confiscation by airport security.
Are there any glow-in-the-dark rescue me 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 anticipated for release in 2024, enhancing visibility in low-light emergencies.
What steps should I take if my package is marked delivered but I haven’t received it?
If your package is marked as delivered but you cannot find 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 initiate a replacement process.
Which shipping carrier does resqme® use for deliveries?
For purchases made on our website, resqme® exclusively uses USPS, offering three shipping options to best accommodate your delivery needs and timelines.
What is the purpose of the three O-rings included in the accessory kits?
The accessory kits include three flexible O-rings to ensure a tighter, more secure fit for the resqme® tool when it is placed in the visor clip, preventing any unwanted movement or slippage.
How do I detach the safety blade clip from my rescue me tool car?
To remove the safety blade clip, first, attach the key ring or cable tie (or lanyard from the Premium Accessory Pack) to the clip’s loop for better grip. Then, with a firm, brisk pull straight out, unsnap the clip using the added leverage. Note: Removing the clip without this added support can be difficult and may risk damaging the resqme®.
Warranty Information
Your rescue me tool car purchase is protected by a 1-year product warranty. Please note that attempting to use the resqme® on materials other than tempered glass, such as metal or laminated glass, will void this warranty. Similarly, improper use, including applying excessive force that breaks the clip guard, will also invalidate the warranty.
Important Warning
The resqme® rescue me tool car is strictly intended for emergency vehicular situations and should not be used for any purpose other than rescue. It is ineffective on windshields and designed only for tempered glass.

Tempered Glass Only – Understanding Vehicle Glass Types
In vehicle manufacturing, two primary glass types are used: laminated and tempered glass. Tempered glass is engineered to shatter into small, relatively harmless fragments to minimize injury. Laminated glass, composed of multiple glass layers bonded with a plastic sheet, is significantly stronger and designed to prevent ejection during accidents. The rescue me tool car is specifically effective only on tempered glass, not laminated glass. It’s crucial to understand the glass types in your vehicle to ensure you are prepared with the correct escape method in an emergency.
