Life is precious and it is therefore a must for every individual to be take precautions in whatever he or she does. In driving vehicles, it is of utmost importance to have one's focus on the road all the time to avoid accidents. Road safety is essential in preserving life especially when car crashes have been a common occurrence in recent years.



The World Health Organization (WHO) reveals that each year, car accidents claim the lives of about 3,000 people around the world costing billions of dollars. In the U.S., an average of 115 persons die every day in motor vehicle crashes. In 2005 alone, of the 6.42 million cases of car accidents recorded in the U.S., 2.9 million were injury cases while more than 42,000 led to deaths.

With these alarming statistics, it is then crucial for drivers to always be prepared with some kind of an emergency tool in their vehicles to protect themselves and their passengers. And this is where the life hammer proves its worth. As its name suggests, a lifehammer also known as an escape hammer looks just like a hammer with a body and lever.

This life hammer is the first of its kind to be invented. It was patterned after the European escape hammers for trains and buses meant to help people get out of their vehicles fast when trapped. This car escape tool is made from very durable and high quality material enabling it to do critical functions during emergency situations such as breaking car side windows and cutting through safety belts that may have jammed.

The original Lifehammer is made in Europe with a Belgian design as well as German steel blade and unique hammer tips. Weighing about 3.5 ounces and measuring less than seven inches in length, this emergency hammer can easily be stored in your car's compartment.

The double tipped hammerhead is the secret of this car escape tool. With its two steel points, it can shatter windows instantly while its blade is as sharp as a knife. This life hammer is lightweight because of its plastic mounting, its blade is protected for your safety and its knob is made of fluorescent material that glows in the dark so you can easily find it.

You can find this lifesaving gadget at hardware stores in your locality or you can get it online at special rates. Saveyourlife.US, a part of Philadelphia-based Tartan Innovations LLC, sells this tool online and provides information on how to use the life hammer during emergency cases especially when your vehicle is submerged underwater and you're trapped inside.
