WHY YOU NEED IT
Four times a side window is the only way out, or in.
Your best chance to get out is the first minute, while the car still floats. The doors are very hard to open against the water.
University of Manitoba, Giesbrecht, 2016
Belt off, press the tip to a side window, get out before the water reaches the window.
Electronic doors may not work in a fire. In electric car fire tests, toxic gases reached harmful levels within minutes of smoke entering the cabin.
US Fire Administration; Rappsilber et al., Fire Safety Journal, 2026
No power needed. A firm press breaks a tempered side window.
In a UK study, 11% of seriously injured crash patients were trapped in the car.
Nutbeam et al., 2021
The blade cuts a belt that will not release. The tip opens a tempered side window.
A parked car heats up fast. In the US, an average of 37 children a year die of heatstroke after being left in a vehicle.

From outside, a firm press on a tempered side window. Keep one in your bag as well as the car.
PRODUCT DEMO
HOW THE SPRING WORKS
Press the tip against the glass. The spring compresses, then fires the pin into one point. The spring does the work, so you need no swing and little strength.
The breaker end meets the glass.
HOW TO USE IT
Pull it from the holder. It sits within reach of the driver seat.
Press the tip into a corner of a side window. Keep pushing.
The spring fires and the glass shatters. Push the glass out.
Belt stuck? Hook it into the fork at the other end and pull.
A FAIR QUESTION
A headrest can't break a car window.Some headrests don't come off.
The post needs a swing you don't have room for. The spring needs one press, from your seat.
COMPATIBILITY CHECK
Type your car to see which windows are usually tempered.
Most cars have tempered side windows. Laminated glass does not break with any hand tool. The small print in a corner of your window tells you which.
Press the tip into a lower corner of the glass.
Not sure? Read the small print in a bottom corner of the window and look for the word Tempered or Laminated. If it is not stated, lower the window an inch and look at the top edge: laminated glass shows a thin line through the middle. Still unsure? Ask the car or glass manufacturer.
Glass differs by trim, year, market and replacement glass, so the label on your window has the final word.
BEFORE YOU NEED IT
Every Hammer comes with a piece of tempered glass, so you can test it at home before you need it.
Each piece of practice glass breaks once. Want more? Add the optional 3-pack to your order.
If you don't like it, send it back within 30 days of delivery and get your money back. Even if you tried it.
Less than 1% of our customers return it.

I ordered several of these tools and tried one today at an auto wreckers. The window breaker shattered the rear window of a smashed up car they had in the rear lot. The guy who I spoke to there was amazed that it worked! Does the window breaker work as effectively on tinted windows of a vehicle too?
I've been a firefighter for 30 years and we had these in the fire academy. They have been around for decades. Called a center punch. Cool story though.
I purchased about 8 or 10 of them abt a year or two ago. I give them to family a d friends always.
As a retired Fireman, I can tell you that we have had these self-loading center punches for years.
Excellent tool thank you.
ordered six they are great

Tempered side windows, the type most cars use for the door windows. Not windshields, and not laminated glass, which no hand tool breaks. Look for the word Tempered or Laminated in the small print in a corner of the window, or use the checker as a guide.
Yes. Every box has the Safety Hammer, the car mount, practice glass and a quick guide. Break the practice glass once to learn the press. Each piece of practice glass breaks once; the optional 3-pack adds more.
Yes. The spring resets after each press, so if the first press does not break the glass, press again.
Start with one per vehicle, mounted where the driver reaches it without looking. Whether a second one makes sense for the back seats depends on your car's layout; the quick guide covers placement.
No. One-time purchase. No subscription.
No. The bundle price applies automatically in the cart. No code needed.
Estimated delivery is 5 to 7 business days for US orders. For other countries the estimate is shown at checkout. See the shipping policy.
Beside the driver's seat, where your hand reaches without looking: the console side, the door pocket or the visor. Not the glovebox.
