Car emergency tools to keep within reach of the driver’s seat
Car emergency tools are the small pieces of kit that only matter in the minute something goes wrong: a window breaker and a seatbelt cutter kept where the driver can reach them while buckled in. Where you keep the tool matters as much as owning it, which is why they come mounted or on a keychain.

Buying guide
What to keep in the car, and where
Window breakers and seatbelt cutters
A window breaker concentrates force on a hardened point to shatter a tempered side window, and the recessed blade beside it cuts a jammed seatbelt. It only helps if it can be reached while seated and buckled: a keychain, the door pocket or a mount on the center console, never the glovebox on the far side or the trunk.
Many newer cars have laminated side windows, which hold together when cracked and cannot be broken this way. The marking in the corner of each window says which glass it is; if yours are laminated, find out which windows are tempered, often the rear side windows.
Spring-loaded or swung
A spring-loaded breaker is pressed against the glass until an internal spring fires a pin into it. It needs no swing and little strength, so it works in a cramped seat, underwater and for someone who is hurt. A hammer-style breaker needs room and force to swing.
One for the driver, one for the key
A mounted tool stays with the car, so it is there for whoever drives it. A keychain tool stays with the driver, so it is there in a borrowed or rented car. Households with more than one car or one driver often keep both.
Tools that get you moving
A tire inflator that runs from the car or its own battery turns a slow leak into a drive to a shop. A flashlight and a charged phone cover most other roadside minutes. For a car that will not start, a jump starter or a call for roadside assistance is what gets it going.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I keep a window breaker?
Within reach of the driver’s seat while buckled in: on the keychain, in the door pocket or on the center console. A tool in the glovebox on the far side or in the trunk cannot be reached when it is needed.
Can a window breaker break any car window?
It breaks tempered glass, which is used in many side and rear windows. It cannot break laminated glass, which cars use in the windshield and increasingly in side windows. Check the marking in the corner of each window.
Do spring-loaded breakers need a swing?
No. A spring-loaded breaker is pressed against the corner of the window until the spring releases, so it works in a confined space and without strength. Hammer-style breakers need room to swing.
