This just recently dawned on me and though I’ve yet to purchase the handy Res-Q-Me Keychain Car Escape Tool (pack of 2) for my own use, I have been contemplating where the best place to keep it would be when I do.
Photos show it attached to keychains like this:
But I’m wondering if that’s the best place for it as I hear it’s possible for keys to be flung from the ignition during an accident which obviously means the Res-Q-Me won’t be where you expect it. I did briefly also consider somehow including it with the other assorted door pad items I put together since that would be a close place to grab for it but wasn’t quite sure how to keep it from getting flung around there too.
As such, I’m thinking the best place to keep it would be directly attached to the driver’s seat belt. If you attached it with a loop of paracord then it should be right where you need it yet loose enough to be able to maneuver to cut a seat belt. The only major drawback I see is if you wanted to use the window punch then it wouldn’t be easy to release from the paracord loop without either first cutting it away from the seat belt or attaching it differently.
Personally, I’d say a seat belt cutter is a good item to include but do realize that there are different kinds, some of which may not be easily tired to a seat belt or otherwise attached to something.
What do you think? Is attaching a Res-Q-Me cutter to a seat belt a good idea or not?
