Why this gift works
The resqme Keychain Car Escape Tool has a stainless steel seatbelt cutter and a spring-loaded spike that breaks a tempered side window with about 12 lb of pressure. It measures 3 x 1.25 x 0.67 inches, weighs 0.6 oz and is made in the USA, per resqme; it works on tempered glass only, not laminated glass.
Sixteen often means a learner's permit or a first set of car keys. A just-in-case tool on the keyring is a practical add-on from a parent - it suits a boy as well as a girl.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- New drivers
- A first-car gift
- Parents who worry
Think twice if
- Their car has laminated side glass
- You want a fun gift
The catch
It only works on tempered glass, and many newer cars use laminated side windows, so check the car; it is a just-in-case tool rather than an exciting gift; and it has a sharp recessed blade, so keep it away from young children.
Skip as the main gift, or if their car has laminated glass on every side window.

- Reach. A keychain tool stays within the driver's reach.
