Default If it was still accesible from the driver seat (think being stuck in the seat and reaching for it).

Maybe underneath the seat, custom job. Take out that drawer under there. We'll see.

Default ROFL. That's right. You could probably reach it in the trunk too.

But you have to think of us "little people".

Default The safety tool was tested and found to be ineffective...

It took two big guys about 20 hits a piece from outside the vehicle to break the glass with that cheap little tool. They said it would be nearly impossible to do it from inside the vehicle. They also tested it cutting the seatbelt and it took about 15minutes to finally cut the damn thing. Might consider a professional glass punch (spring loaded) instead. Also a good exacto knife. Make sure you mount that fire extiguiher out of the path of airbags and very securely else it should become a deadly projectile. The only secure mounting location I could see would be on the floor of the vehicle. Cheers! Mike

Default i tried cutting a few things with the 'blade'...didn't work for ****. i have a Syderco

knife (one hand open) i keep in the door pocket.
interesting about the hammer though...i saw one used in college (don't ask) and the window came down in a single shot.

lets just hope it never comes to need any of them.
