What Is an Emergency Escape Hammer?

An emergency escape hammer, also known as a vehicle safety hammer or car escape tool, is a compact device designed to help occupants exit a vehicle quickly in an emergency.
It typically includes:

  • A hardened steel or ceramic tip for breaking glass
  • A concealed blade for cutting seatbelts
  • A mounting bracket for secure and accessible installation

These tools are designed for fast response in critical situations where immediate action is required.

Where and When Should You Use an Emergency Hammer?

Emergency hammers are used in situations where standard exits are not accessible, including:

  • When vehicle doors cannot be opened after an accident
  • If a vehicle becomes submerged in water
  • When seatbelts are jammed or locked

For effective use, the hammer should be applied to side windows, striking the corner of the glass rather than the centre.
For more detailed guidance, read our Emergency Hammer & Seatbelt Cutter Guide
You can also download our vehicle glass type guide to help identify the type of glass fitted to your vehicle.
