What is it: This is an interesting entry, as for me it is really for a single product - the ResQMe manufactured by NOV8 - a smaller version of their LifeHammer.  And it really has no purpose or utility on a daily basis, outside of the peace of mind it will bring you. This little device will get you out of a car by doing two things: (1) slicing through your seat belt and (2) breaking a side window so you can get out of the vehicle.  Chances are, you will never ever need to use a ResQMe, but if you do, you'd better have one with you - that works - and that is easily accessible. From their website: "ResQMeTM attaches to your keychain with a detachable clip. Pull the clip away from the product to reveal the cutter (blade). Hook over seatbelt and pull. To activate the window breaker, simply push the black head against a side window until the concealed spring-loaded spike releases and shatters window." It's pretty easy to use.  I recommend testing the window breaker against a piece of scrap wood (if you don't have access on a junkyard so you can try it out on real automotive glass) so you understand how it works and the force required to activate the spike.  You should note a pretty noticeable hole in the wood.  Be careful, as it will also put a pretty sizeable dent in your skin if you activate it against yourself or someone else. Victorinox makes a "Rescue Tool" - that includes a glass breaker and a seat belt cutter, as well as a locking blade and some other nifty features, but it doesn't include everything I want out of my Swiss Army Knife/multi-tool (see previous entry).  However, I'd love to be able to combine these two items (then you'd only have 9 items to bring with you) - but I have read that the Victorinox Rescue Tool is a sizeable item - not considered a "pocket knife" so may be better suited for a glove box or go bag.  It may be an option for you based on your own requirements for a multi-tool.  I'll let you know after mine is delivered in
