And Chad's take? Chad thought this was a very good device to have in the car. The flashing beacon light will get attention, and help warn other that your car is stopped. The belt cutter is critical if you're seat belt won't open. Also very important is the emergency hammer. As Chad pointed out, you cannot easily break a car window to escape. You need a pointed device to do the job, which this has. Chad also liked the magnetic base, and the flashlight. All in all Chat thought it's a worthwhile gadget for under $8.00 (as of 10/11/16)
