The [CRKT](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crkt-kert) ExiTool Emergency Multitool is a must-have solution for drivers who are looking to stay prepared in the event of an emergency when hitting the open road. Designed by Russ Kommer, the device works by being attached onto your seatbelt to keep it within reach at all times thanks to the integrated clip on the rear. The device can be used for quickly cutting seatbelts in the event of a crash, breaking windows for a quick escape and even offering illumination thanks to the [built-in LED flashlight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-fire-20).

The CRKT ExiTool Emergency Multitool sports a [safety focused design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omnipro-20) that will keep it within reach, while also preventing unnecessary injury by keeping the blade concealed within without disrupting the functionality of the device.
