ExiTool Seatbelt Cutter For Paranoid Drivers

Ever wonder what would happen if you crashed your car, and the seatbelt got jammed, trapping you in the vehicle, while you’re busy wondering if your car is going to blow up (like they always do in the movies)? If you have the ExiTool handy, such a scenario would become less of an issue, not that we’re saying crashing your car is a non-issue. The ExiTool clips onto your seatbelt and it’s ever ready in the event you need to slash through your seatbelt. As an added bonus, it has a tungsten window-smashing tip and button-cell powered flashlight in the event you need additional light. It’s currently listed as “coming soon”, with the price tag of $26.99, though the question is, would you shell out $26.99 for something to cut through your seatbelt in the event of emergency?

At a glance, that doesn’t seem like such a bad idea after all, particularly for those rear seat passengers who aren’t blessed with two huge bags or air right in front of their chest. We’re guessing the top brass at Ford feel pretty much the same way, as the outfit has just announced that these very devices will be making their debut in the next-generation Ford Explorer before rolling out across the fleet. Of course, Lexus is also planning to shove these into its ultra-luxurious LFA (which will probably make a grand total of 14 wealthy owners feel really, really safe), but it’s tough to tell which vehicle will hit the showroom first. Jump past the break for a vid.
