None of these glass breakers are any good at what they're supposed to do anyways, I'd wager all of their websites delinate that they are for tempered glass only. What you want is porcelain or ceramic.
Unfortunately, afaik, porclean/cermaic glass breakers are illegal in most states. They are "Burglary Tools".
Nothing wrong with keeping a box of spark plugs in your center console though
- mikkupikku 11mo agoThat old spark plug thing was from when cars had tempered side windows, wasn't it? I don't see how those would be particularly effective at dealing with lamination.
- rdtsc 11mo agoWould a spark plug work on laminated glass?
- Johnny555 11mo agoA ceramic glass breaker isn't going to be any better than the metal tools on laminated glass, breaking the glass is only half the battle, you've still got to get through the intact glass pane held in place by the plastic laminate. >Nothing wrong with keeping a box of spark plugs in your center console though But then you've got to keep a tool to break the spark plug to give you a sharp ceramic shard to get through the glass.
- drob518 11mo agoExactly. It’s the plastic middle layer that screws you.
- sebazzz 11mo agoDoes a knife help there?
- walletdrainer 11mo agoSure, it’ll probably be pretty slow though. Ideally you’d have a serrated blade
- monster_truck 11mo agoIt doesn't matter. You barely have to throw a speck of it harder than you'd throw a dog toy for it to shatter laminated glass.
- loeg 11mo agoBroken spark plugs are also known as "ninja rocks," for what it's worth. Also considered illegal burglary tools in some states.
- mikestew 11mo agoI fail to see how any of your suggestions are going to do any better on laminated glass. Breaking the glass isn’t the problem here, it’s the lamination.
- The_President 11mo agoOr when in something with windows like a Cybertruck maybe a 45
- Meekro 11mo agoJust imagining firing that in a car is making my ears ring.
- m463 11mo ago> None of these glass breakers are any good ...unless you're demonstrating unbreakable cybertruck glass to the world.
- adiabatichottub 11mo agoThieves in my city use the kind of automatic center punch that you can buy at any hardware store.
