My mother bought it, well three of them, for me in case I ever drive my truck into a lake. That's right my overly paranoid mother is afraid I will submerge my truck underwater sometime in the next 18 months. She currently believes that the hammer is mounted somewhere in my truck right now, but I keep it in my room to prove to my friends who come over just how crazy she is.
What amazes me more than the fact that my mom bought the hammer is the magical powers it supposedly possesses. When I got the hammer I thought it was pretty straight forward, the pointy thing breaks the window while the razor cuts through your seat belt. According to the pictures on the box though it can do a lot more.
How this small plastic hammer that any average squirrel could chew through is supposed to save you from all of these things I don't know. In fact it seems like more of a danger than anything else. Just think about it you're flying down the road at 60mph and hit a deer or something. Before life hammer you would have hit the air bag got a little bruised and life would have gone on normally. Now that you have your magic Jesus hammer if you get in a wreck there will be a lightweight double sided pointy hammer flying around the inside of your car with a blade on it. Best case scenario your new magic hammer ends up lodged in your gps or radio.
Thanks mom, but you can keep your hammer.
The blade is not exposed, and the holder it pretty tight. You could put the thing in your glove box if you were concerned about getting hit by the thing. Consider the (not too unlikely) scenario of being in a multi-car pileup with debris on all sides of your car keeping the doors from opening and your electric window openers are broken. Meanwhile the gas tanker three cars ahead of you is leaking fuel everywhere. How do you get out?
