I'm sorry but this tool is useless if not firmly attached to something. Don't buy it. In a case of a collision or flip over, you won't find the damm thing. Instead use this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0042VTYXM/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_.xhZzbH9QFS7F it does the same thing but it's always on you ignition with your car keys

Anyone that wants to be able to quickly evacuate a car should have something like this on keychains / attached to something within arm distance of all passengers. One part is a spring loaded spike that when used on a side window will shatter it. The other part is a (enclosed) razor blade that can cut through seat belts.

If you can't afford that, some helpful information:

• The front (and I think back) windows cannot be broken. They are made of laminated glass. You're not getting through it.
  
  
• The side windows are tempered and will shatter into harmless pieces when broken. To break the side windows you need something fairly sharp and small. If the car has removable headrests the steel pillars on them can be used to break the window. Aim for the corners. If it doesn't work put one of them into the window sill and hit it down in and then pull towards you (like a lever.) That should work. If that doesn't work and your window is open, again try and use the headrest to apply lots of force against the window.
  
  
• You will not be able to open the car door once your just a few inches below the water line. It's putting a huge amount of pressure on your door. You will have to either shatter the window like previously mentioned or wait for the car to fill up with enough water so it's equalized.
  
  
• Don't drive in a flood.

  There's also atleast one other (maybe 2.) In all cases, emergency air had to be used to escape in a controlled environment. Chances are you're dead if you need to wait to open the door.

They make these, but I don't why anyone would want one when you can have a Collector's Series Blue Dragon Tac-Force such as this.

When breaking car windows you need to break it toward the edge of the glass, not near the center. The edge of the glass is very easy to break because it's tempered glass. If you don't have a tool like this you can use your car key and press firmly on the glass at the bottom of the pane. It doesn't take a ton of pressure. For what it's worth I'd actually break the glass first to get the kid out, then call 911.

I live in an area with some crazy drivers, so I need these for some peace of mind. I am in the car with my toddler a lot, so I'm really paranoid of car accidents.

If this doesn't really count as "need" for what you had in mind, no worries. Thanks for the contest either way :D

I use this tactical pen because it doesn't look very tactical at all. I'm sure you could break glass with it since I've tested it out on quite a few different things. Ever thought of getting one of these to keep in your car as a glass breaker? Works a lot better and you don't have to swing your arm at the glass to break it.

Here ya go:

Just buy this small thing dude! It will more effective and fast ;)

You don't even need something that beefy to break car windows. They make keychain sized car rescue tools and a center punch will also do the job.

Just speaking as someone who has a legitimate use for them, anyway.
