Hey, everyone. How do you guys like the Victorinox Rescue Tool? I was looking at it & figure I might get it, since it has that glass breaker (which seems to actually work- not all of them do, from what I understand) & a GLASS SAW (which is a great idea, given that a lot of glass is laminated or whatever it's called).
I remember a demonstration where the firefighter cut the rubber from around a windshield with the knife part & used the flathead/bottle-opener to pry it out, which was cool (I didn't know about that- how come they don't have something like that on the inside with a pull tab so people can get out?).
For the glass breaker & glass saw, he smashed the glass breaker against the window at a few different points that lined up with each other, stuck the tip of the saw through the glass at those points, then ripped back with the saw as he was pulling it up/out. So he connected the dots with the cuts. Both of those are replaceable, by the way.
The other screwdriver & other stuff wasn't demonstrated, I'm assuming because those are fairly obvious. Still, it's nice to have tweezers & an awl (although I think I would drill a hole through it, just to have it be more multi-functional). It seems at least one style actually glows in the dark, too.
