These days, modern cars are packed with safety features and technologies intended to make our driving experience as safe as possible.
Unfortunately, accidents do happen and you’ll never know when you may get in a situation where you’re stuck inside your car.
It may take some time for emergency services to arrive, and anytime you’re involved in a collision, every second counts.
Car flashlight is equipped with window breaker and seatbelt cutter.
Having a car flashlight in your glove box, center console, attached to your keychain, or even plugged into your cigarette lighter could one day save your life.
Car flashlight will allow you to break a side window and cut your seat belt, allowing you to get out of your car in a timely fashion.
Do you have any idea or suggestion about the car flashlight ?
Good luck reaching those locations when you need a seat belt cutter after an accident. It won’t save my life, but maybe the life of other people who were involved in an accident.
I have a windup flashlight which uses a capacitor to store power, and “bombproof” C01 and L10 with lithium primaries in my glove compartment along with a knife, box cutter. It gets too hot to store lithium-ion powered lights.
For a car flashlight. My ideal flashlight would stored inside the vehicle at all times so it be user replaceable AA powered flashlight that powered by 1 to 4 AA batteries with support for AA lithium-primaries and NiHM, Alkaline and 14500. It would a have large reflector with single emitter. Of course 14500 would have much higher output than AA.
Yes, my problem, at least in thought. I have a couple of lights with glass breakers and seatbelt cutters in my cars. I have often thought about whether I could get to them quickly enough for them to be of help. I have them in center consoles… But opening the console, finding one, then actually using it while under the stress of drowning and quite possibly being injured… I am doubtful.
That’s why I usually carry a Leatherman with a belt cutter in my backpack. Should I ever witness a severe accident, I can cut the belts and drag people out of a car. But if I myself am involved in an accident that is severe enough to need a belt cutter, I doubt I will be in any shape to use it myself.
Don’t assume you’re going to break and shatter side windows in your vehicle or any other vehicle. There are many that have laminated side glass windows.
For those that can use a window punch, a small one can be secured much more easily in location that can be reached. A knife or small seat belt cutter could also be secured within reach. When you start trying to combine a punch and a seatbelt cutter and a flashlight with batteries now you’re getting too big to secure close and easily accessible.
You’ll be able to find your window and your seat belt in the dark without a flashlight.
