The emergency hammer is an invaluable accessory for every car as it can slice through a seatbelt and break glass which could help you exit the vehicle after a collision if the door does not open. Equipped with an extra-tough double-ended spike, simply swing the hammer at a car or bus side window to break the glass. The razor-sharp cutter will cut through your seatbelt in one movement while ensuring the blade is recessed to prevent injury.

It's vital you can grab this from your car seat, so make sure it is always close to hand, which is why it comes with a mounting bracket as standard. Many people install their emergency hammer on the car door or centre console, while others choose to keep this within their glovebox.

Manufactured for Vigil Products and CE Marked, the handle is made of tough ABS plastic which provides a secure grip. The emergency hammer has many uses outside of your vehicle as it would break single-pane windows in an emergency, and is often found in caravans, boats and buses.
