Window breaker for your car

A car emergency hammer is necessary to get out of the car as quickly as possible in the event of a car accident. It is especially important if your vehicle is on fire or got into the water. In most countries, such an accessory must be in all vehicles according to the rule of the road.

Types of car emergency hammers

The following major categories of these accessories can be distinguished:

• Hammers kept inside the vehicle. Can be available together with a holder which provides a secure grip of the tool. Usually, the body of the accessory is painted in a bright colour, therefore, it is easy to find it in case of emergency.
• A keychain accessory. One of the main advantages of such a tool is its small size. Besides, most often, keychain accessories are sold at a price lower than standard hammers.

Emergency hammers are usually fitted with a special blade. It helps to cut the safety belt quickly in case of emergency.

Tips on car emergency hammers usage

After you have bought the accessory, put it in an easily accessible place. For example, you can attach the item next to the driver’s seat or under it. If you have bought a set of two hammers, place one of the tools in the front part of the car and the second one in the place where it can be reached by the rear seat passengers.

If there is a necessity to use the hammer, it is recommended to protect your hands and arms from the glass shatters with gloves or any other available piece of fabric. Then, it is necessary to hit the side window several times moving from the centre to its edge at equal distance. This way, due to the features of its composition, the glass will be divided into small fragments which can hardly cut you. It’s not worth hitting the windscreen: in most cases, it cracks but doesn't shatter.
