Car Window Breaker & Seatbelt Cutter
Couldn't load pickup availability
The 8 cm tool that gets you out of your car.
Most of us will never need it. But if a crash, a flood or a power failure ever locks you in, the next few seconds matter. ExitKey breaks a tempered side window with one firm press and cuts a jammed seatbelt in one pull — no swinging, no strength, no searching.
Three ways drivers get trapped
In a sinking-car test by Germany's ADAC auto club, a car floated briefly, then went fully under in about 3 minutes. Water pressure holds the doors shut — the window is the way out.
Many newer cars use electric door releases. If a crash cuts the 12V power, the handle may do nothing — and the manual release can be hard to find in a panic.
After an impact, your body weight locks the belt tight and buckles can jam. The hidden blade cuts straight through the webbing.
No swing. No strength. Just press.
🔨 Classic hammer
- Needs room to swing
- Water slows every swing
- Hard if you're hurt or upside down
- Too big for a keychain
⚡ ExitKey
- Press the tip — the spring does the work
- Works in tight spaces
- No wind-up needed, even in water
- Lives on your keys, always in reach
In AAA's 2019 vehicle escape tool evaluation, the spring-loaded tools broke tempered side glass in every trial, while 2 of the 3 hammer-style tools failed to. That study tested the tool category, not ExitKey specifically.
Out in 3 steps
Pull off the clear cap
The cap protects the tip and blade from going off by accident.
Cut the belt
Hook the slot over the seatbelt and pull across at an angle — the blade is recessed, so it won't catch your fingers.
Press into a window corner
Push the tip firmly into a lower corner of a side window until the spring fires. Clear the glass and climb out.
Small enough to carry. Made to work.
Tungsten steel tip
Hard, sharp point backed by a spring-loaded core.
Hidden belt cutter
Stainless blade tucked inside a slot — safe to grab in the dark.
Keychain size
About 8 cm long with a lanyard loop. Goes where your keys go.
One-hand operation
Ribbed grip and a simple press — usable with one hand.
Check your windows in 10 seconds
ExitKey is made for tempered glass — the kind used in most side and rear windows. No small escape tool can break laminated glass (windshields, and the side windows of some newer cars), because a plastic layer holds it together. Here's how to check yours:
Small tool, big peace of mind
Parents
One for the driver, one for the back seat.
EV & new-car owners
A mechanical backup for electric door handles.
Rural & flood-prone roads
Dark lanes, heavy rain, help further away.
New drivers
A smart first-car gift for teens and students.
Older parents
Light, simple, no strength needed.
Rideshare & work drivers
Long hours on the road, every day.

⚠️ Safety notes
- Emergency use only. Keep the cap on until you need it.
- Don't test it on wood, tables or household glass — hard surfaces without glass can bend the spring and stop it working when it counts.
- For tempered automotive glass only. It will not break windshields or laminated windows.
- Keep out of reach of children. The tip can break glass doors and windows at home.
- Store it where you can reach it while belted in — on your keys, in the door pocket or center console, never loose in the trunk.

Questions, answered
Will it break any car window?
It's designed for tempered glass, which most cars use for side and rear windows. It will not break windshields or laminated side windows — no small escape tool can. Check the small label in the corner of each window: "Tempered", "ESG" or "T" means it works.
Does it work underwater?
Yes — the spring-loaded tip doesn't need a swing, so water resistance doesn't slow it down. Even so, the best time to get out is early, while the car is still floating: seatbelts off, window open, children out, then out yourself.
Can I test it at home?
Please don't. Firing it against wood, tables or household glass can damage the spring or break something in your home. It's built to fire when pressed hard against tempered car glass.
Where should I keep it?
Somewhere you can reach while still buckled in: on your car keys, in the driver's door pocket or in the center console. Never loose in the glove box or trunk, where it can get thrown or buried in a crash.
How many do I need?
At least one per car, within the driver's reach. If your front windows are laminated, or you often carry passengers in the back, a second one near the rear seats is a smart idea.
Can I use it more than once?
It's built for emergencies. If it's ever used for real, we recommend replacing it so you know your backup is in perfect shape.
How long does shipping take?
Orders are packed in 2–4 business days and usually arrive in 8–14 business days in the US. Shipping is one flat rate per order, not per item, and every order is tracked.
Keep a way out on your keychain.
One press for the window. One pull for the belt.
