Self Defense Life Saver-Auto Emergency Tool

Author: Jack Krohn

Last summer I had an example that was burned into my mind forever. I live in southern Colorado at 4500 ft elevation in a city that gets 10 inches of rain a year. The climate is dry, dry, dry!!

There is a relatively well traveled road that goes under some railroad tracks less than 2 miles from my house-I travel it at least weekly myself. Several years ago the city finally put up some huge signs with flashing warning lights to warn drivers of flooding risks. The underpass is severe. In the space of 100yards it drops 30-45 feet to get under the tracks then comes up again-causing a huge gully that can collect water.

One warm sunny day last summer we had a severe weather warning followed by a torrential downpour. It was complete with tornadoes nearby, an awesome display of thunder and lightning-the kind of weather news outlets love. The biggest story was the underpass.

A woman in a red SUV tried to make it thru. She didn't. Local channels and even national networks picked up on the story of the lady literally floating away, windows rolled up, trapped and sinking fast. The footage seemed to last forever but it was only moments with the SUV sinking more by the second.

If she didn't get out she would drown for sure. Fortunately the fire department was able to get to her and save her life. It was terrifying just to watch.

The four in one Auto Emergency Tool was designed for exactly this type of situation. It has two sharp metal pins that when used as a hammer can break windows and two blades that can be used to cut a seatbelt. The unit also has a blinking red emergency light and a super bright flashlight. The unit snaps into place on its base which is attached to the floor carpet within reach of the driver's seat.

It is the most versatile auto emergency tool in the market place today. It is inexpensive and easy to install-making it a must have for your car.

Chances are very good that you are reading this because in some way an incident like this has touched your life or you want to be proactive and protect yourself, family, home, or business. That is the first step.
