New Car Safety Tool Launched By Aid & Prep

Aid & Prep, an emergency preparedness company in Pasadena, CA, has announced the release of their car safety tool. This particular tool has been designed to be powerful yet compact, allowing it to be easily carried on a key chain or readily accessible near a car seat in the event of an emergency. It is a multi-functional tool with several useful components, allowing people to travel more safely by car.

Aid & Prep's Brodie Vaughn says: "We had this tool manufactured because we were looking for a small, yet powerful car safety hammer. Don't let the size fool you, just press this tool against a glass window and the window will shatter, giving you a quick, safe escape route in an emergency."

The tool is about the size of a garage door opener. Besides being able to attach a keychain, it can be stored in the glove box or armrest without taking up much space while still being easy to access in the dark or in case of an emergency. The tool comes with a flashlight, a seat belt cutter and powerful hammer to break a car window. When pressed firmly against the window, a spike protrudes into the window, smashing the glass immediately. A minimal amount of force is required to use the tool. Despite being so light and portable, the glass shattering feature is surprisingly powerful.

"The flashlight isn't seen on many tools, especially not tools of this size," adds Brodie Vaughn. "So it’s not just for extreme emergencies, but will useful in many situations. It really is an all-in-one solution and it won't take up half your glove box space."

The tool is one of several offerings in Aid & Prep’s line of products that help people be and stay prepared both in the home and while traveling.  More information about their products can be found on the company’s official website.
