The Keychain That Could Save Your Life

#tools

I know you may have heard about it on TV in passing, or read about it in a magazine perhaps, but have you taken the step to get a tool like the Resqme for your vehicle? I’m guilty of being that person that saw this and said, “what a great idea!” but then never actually picked one up.

The Resqeme is an  innovative product designed as a rescue tool during vehicle entrapment. Severe weather, a car crash, or electronic malfunction can cause you or your loved ones to get trapped inside your vehicle. The resqme can slice through jammed seat belts with its sharp steel blade and break side windows with its spring-loaded spike.

Earlier this summer, Saskatchewan got a lot of rain. A LOT. As a result, roads were washed out and many ditches and sloughs were filled with a dangerous amount of water.  I had heard many stories about cars going into sloughs and sadly there was a tragic incident this summer where a father lost his life after his vehicle went into a slough of water with his son inside. Another story had different ending because of the Resqme tool.  You can click here to read about a Saskatchewan resident that used the tool to get out of her vehicle when it too went into a slough, potentially saving her own life.

Here’s how the tool works, as demonstrated on The Doctors:

I don’t keep my Resqme tool on my keychain because my vehicle doesn’t utilize a key in the ignition (so my keychain is sometimes in my purse, sometimes in the cupholder). I wanted it to be in a place where I knew to reach for it – so it’s in my middle console.  You can also buy a visor clip to hold it on which I think is a great idea too.

In Canada, you can find the Resqme at Home Hardware for around $13.99. Such a small price for something so important and I think this would make an awesome stocking stuffer this Christmas – for parents to give to their driving kids or vice versa.
