Keep Rescue Tool at Your Fingertips
Pocket-sized Window Breaker Saves Valuable Seconds in Submersion Emergencies
CLEVELAND, OHIO—September 1, 2006—Recent news stories report that 600 people die each year trapped in sinking vehicles. The key to survival in these situations is getting a window open and freeing yourself from the seatbelt. Both tasks are made difficult when drivers panic, lack the proper tools or waste valuable seconds searching their vehicle for a tool.
A new key-chain rescue tool ensures that drivers know exactly where these life-saving devices are when they need them. The BodyGard™ 5-in-1 Emergency Tool from Swiss+Tech® combines an automatic glass breaker, a seat belt cutter, sonic alarm, bright LED light and emergency flasher in a device small enough to fit on a key chain or in a pocket.
At less than 3” x 1-3/4” x 5/8” in size, and weighing only one ounce, BodyGard attaches securely to a key ring and releases with a quick tug for fast emergency use. It also glows in the dark to help locate it in low or no light.
The glass breaker is spring-loaded to deploy automatically when pressed firmly against a vehicle's side or rear window. The safety-blade seat belt cutter quickly frees both the driver and passengers if their seat belts do not unlatch after an accident. When not in use, the blade is housed securely in the casing to prevent accidental cutting. Both the glass breaker pin and safety blade are made of high-carbon steel for maximum durability.
In addition to vehicle emergencies, BodyGard can be used to signal for help or to ward off attackers when walking, biking and hiking. With the push of a button, its sonic alarm emits a high-decibel output. Its flashing red distress light is also push-button activated to signal and direct help to your location. The high-intensity flashlight also helps users find their way in low light conditions.
BodyGard is impact-resilient, with a tough ABS construction and a limited lifetime warranty. It includes a replaceable A23/12V battery and instructions for use and care.
The new Swiss+Tech BodyGard 5-in-1 Emergency Tool is available from select retailers nationwide, at a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $24.95. For retailer listings, visit www.swisstechtools.com.
