Thanks, I bought the elephant as a gift for my gf.
The trunk is good for hanging it on the belt loops of your jeans.
I have one of those EDC Gear pry bars but I haven’t tested the glass breaker tip.
@isti242:
Is the elephant stable? It looks cute.
I ordered one of the other SRM tools (haven't arrived until now) and the bigger carabiner, which have arrived. I will post a picture in the next days.
He hasn’t attacked anyone so far.
Lol
I like the Fasttech new arrival Sanrenmu GJ017D pry-bar/wrench/ruler for $4.09 indirectly linked by isti242 above.
Found it on sale at GB for $3.44
> I wonder how effective it is as a glass breaker.
Not something you want to test while hanging upside down in the seat belt between rising water and flames.
I recall reading that most cheap “glass breaker” tips are metal, which simply isn’t hard enough — they need some super hard ceramic tip to reliably break glass when there’s no time to mess around.
In this video there is a test of one tool with steel tip and it’s useless:
Wonder if they even bothered hardening the tip. I have a red hammer with hardened tip, like the ones installed on buses. I know they don’t always work on first strike though.
Excellent video showing how worthless steel tips are. You’d be dead.
Interesting video. I would like to try this myself…
on the other hand you never need to break a class from the inside, you can just use the built in window opener…
Eh? Well, probably, most of the time.
Do we feel lucky?

I was going to try out these “signal lamps” from cnq, but they said they did not have any left. Does anyone know a good place to get them or something similar?

I still see no problem but I usualy use German cars ;)… And of course I don’t drive in the water…
Do you guys also have a life jacket in your car…
Many are flood pictures, when you choose the image search

The more a tool try to do multiple things the more it become bad at everything…
Just received this knife and can’t figure out how to get the blade out? Not sure if the item I received is damaged or I’m missing something obvious, but any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
On Edit: I’m referring to the Paper Knives EDC.
Which knife?
There are two photos that I can see one above and this one
Notice the position of the slide on top of the knife, they are in the same position but on one the blade is retracted and on the other it is open. Could it be that the blade needs re-positioning after shipping. A lot of these blades have two cut-outs on the top of the blade allowing different positioning.
Sorry I don’t have one so I can’t tell exactly what the problem is.
Pictures would be good.
