The Lifehammer Smart Car Emergency [Tool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crkt-pocket-driver-stash-tool) is a small but mighty accessory for drivers to incorporate into their vehicle's cabin as a way to stay prepared for emergencies. The tool is compact enough to be discreetly installed into the vehicle cabin thanks to a stick-on holster and is equipped with a [spring-loaded hammer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangular-tool) that's accented with a ceramic tip. This can be used to quickly and effectively break the windows or windshield in the event of an emergency where quick evacuation is required.

The Lifehammer Smart Car Emergency Tool is rounded out with a [seatbelt cutter with a razor-sharp blade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinyblade) that can be used for quickly removing seatbelts in the event they become stuck or damaged. The tool maintains an all-black finish to stay out of sight when not in use, but is accented by orange pops of color to stay slightly visible.
