The Kool Finds take

What it actually does

Verified factresqme combines a concealed stainless-steel seat-belt cutter with a spring-loaded spike intended to break tempered side-window glass. Pulling the tool away from its clip exposes the belt-cutting slot; pressing the black head firmly against an appropriate window releases the breaker.

Why Kool Finds picked it

Kool Finds takeThis is the opposite of a novelty pick: two narrowly defined emergency functions are reduced to a keychain-sized object. The clever part is only useful if the tool can actually be reached.

Who it's for

Practical inferenceRelevant to drivers who are reviewing a broader vehicle-emergency plan, especially as a practical gift for a new driver. Owning the tool is not the plan by itself; the recipient should understand the instructions and where it will be kept.

What to know

Verified factThe breaker is for tempered glass, not windshields or laminated glass. Some modern side windows are laminated, so identify the glass in the specific vehicle and keep the tool securely mounted within reach rather than loose or buried in the trunk.

Why it's interesting

Kool Finds takeThe useful design decision is not adding more emergency features. It is protecting the sharp parts, keeping the form small, and making the two actions mechanically simple.
