'Don't Get Trapped in Your Car' Car Escape Tools - LifeHammer/ResQMe(TM)

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., March 14 -- According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics' last publication in 2001; there were over 42,000 crash fatalities, which is almost 1 death every 12 minutes. An estimate 500 of these people died while helplessly trapped inside their vehicles.

In case of car entrapment, there are devices that could save your life, the LifeHammer(R) "The Original Escape Tool" and the ResQMe(TM), the keychain version. They provide a real response to the growing demand for safety, and offer peace of mind to every motorist.

LifeHammer(R) provides quick and effective escape from an overturned, submerged, or disabled vehicle. Its precision steel points shatter side windows with one strike, and its well-protected, razor-sharp blade cuts easily through jammed seatbelts. Compact, easy to install, and always visible on the dashboard or console thanks to its luminescent pin, LifeHammer(R) presents a simple solution to a deadly problem: entrapment -- probably the most overlooked automobile safety risk in America today.

Inspired by the LifeHammer(R), ResQMe(TM) is a revolutionary hand-held rescue tool that is amazingly powerful despite its mini size. A fierce but absolutely safe center-punch breaks side windows, and a carefully concealed razor blade slices through a jammed seat belt to prevent vehicular entrapment.

LifeHammer(R) & ResQMe(TM) are proven lifesaving tools, and an important part of the effort to reduce road fatalities and injuries. "Both these must-have tools are a 'Gift for Life,' that could very well save one!" says Laurent Colasse, President of NOV8.

The LifeHammer(R) is manufactured in the Netherlands and has a suggested retail price of $14.95 to $19.95. ResQMe(TM) is manufactured in the U.S. and has a suggested retail price of $9.95 to $14.95.
