Tips for proper use of a seat belt cutter

Auto

Security is unequivocally top of mind for everyone these days. This is the reason why numerous security tools flourish in the market today, each device is designed with its own features and benefits. One of those emergency tools is the combination seat belt cutter and automatic glass breaker. A good seat belt cutter can cut through a vehicle’s seat belt in a matter of seconds. These cutters are often created as knives that are small enough to fit in the glove compartment of a vehicle. However, a popular seat belt cutter upgrade is one that is built into an emergency glass hammer. Many drivers prefer this 2-in-1 device because of its versatility and the ease with which each tool can be accessed during an emergency.

Using a seat belt cutter is easy. All you have to do is stay calm and avoid getting into a state of fear, no matter how serious the situation is. Panic often causes a person’s mental resources to go into overdrive, preventing them from thinking and doing the right thing. When in a calm mood, the driver can easily find the cutter, point it at the most accessible part of the belt, and quickly cut the belt. Once the mower is done with its job, it can be stored in its proper place in the emergency tool to await the next emergency vehicle where it would be needed again.

Vehicle emergencies or accidents often cause the car battery to discharge, preventing would-be rescuers outside the car or truck from opening the locked doors. In this case, the emergency glass hammer is required to create a small gap in the window glass that could break further to create a gap wide enough to let a person out. However, a stuck seat belt could cause further complications. This scenario means that a seat belt cutter is required.

Seat belt cutters vary in price and can be purchased online or at a traditional hardware store. A seat belt cutter sold separately has a price range of about $10 at its cheapest rate and up to $43 at its most expensive rate. The more expensive ones often come with the following additional features:

• Built-in LED (light-emitting diode) lights that are useful during an accident in the dark.

• A snug-fitting cover for secure storage.

• Partially serrated edge sharp enough to cut through thick belt material.

• Made of stainless steel or any other substance of proven durability. Titanium knife seat belt cutters often have the added benefit of being rust free for a longer period of time compared to other metal materials.

• Free shipping is always a great feature.

Most online sellers not only offer to ship the product to their customers for free, but also ship it via first-class shipping, which allows the buyer to receive the item within days. A rare feature added to some premium seat belt cutters is multi-tools built into the knife handle for storing small emergency tools and a ring on the edge so the cutter can be attached to car keys. The handle could also be strong enough to serve as a hammer to break the side window. Premium products even have an emergency escape hammer built in.
