i mean a seat belt cutter and glass breaker combination tool.
 
I have a life hammer in my car and recently added a Victorinox RescueTool. Since I have never used them, fortunately, I can not recommend them as a result of my own experience, but both are recommended by police, fire brigade and other kind of rescue brigades. From what I have seen on demonstrations and what I have read, I think these are good tools. If you type in "life hammer" in Google, you will find more info on it. I don't know about different brands, bought mine at a local store which sells car materials.
 
I have the better Benchmade cutter and for the window breaker I use a large automatic center punch.That doesn't need to be hammered , just pushed.
 
Spyderco Assist. In orange for her and black for you. Great way to justify another knife!!

PS you can tell her the whistle is for safety too.
 
I like the Res-Q-Me. Small, fits on the keychain and costs $10-ish. Much better IMHO thanthe larger ones that get tossed in the gloveboxor trunk. Kind of hard to get to them when you are in a wreck, but this one is right there, attached to your keys in the ignition...

+1 on the Res-Q-Me.

I have enough on my keychain, but I have one on a split ring along with a very small flashlight in a small covered storage compartment directly in front of my gear shift lever. It's very handy that's it's so light and compact. And yes I've practiced extracting it with my eyes shut. :cool:
