How did you have the wherewithal to remember you had this tool? Where did you keep the tool? Did the tool come with the car or did you buy it just in case?

- xeromal 1y agoI've always carried one in my cupholder my whole life. It's like a small knife and has a tipped end. Very easy to use. They're 20$ on amazon. I will admit I tried kicking the window first but then remembered I had the knife.
- ncr100 1y agoThis is a great reminder to carry one of those. Thank you for the reminder. I'm glad you're safe.
- xeromal 1y agoThank you! I was coming home from work and it was my birthday so I had a cake in the back of my car and lost it in the crash. The greatest tragedy. lol
- x187463 1y agoWorth considering that an accident which would cause you to need such a device is likely to involve enough disturbance to cause a tool sitting in the cupholder to find itself thrown around the vehicle.
- xeromal 1y agoYeah, it's definitely a risk but I intentionally left it in the cup holder to make sure it annoyed me enough daily when I needed to use a cup so that I remembered it existed. There's a fine line and I have a terrible memory especially in a crisis so I figured it's best bouncing around then hidden in some center console or glove box where I can't remember
- tlavoie 1y agoMine is on my keychain, which is likely still embedded in the dash after a crash. I guess that's less helpful for those newer vehicles that don't use keys as such.
- mbreese 1y agoNot the OP, but I have kept one of these in all of my cars for years. I keep mine in the armrest storage space. I’ve never needed it, but it always gets transferred from old car to new. And every time I get something out of the armrest, it reinforces the location in my mind.
