BodyGard®
7-in-1 Emergency Tool is the newest product in Swiss+Tech's line of
emergency preparedness tools. It has been reported that 600 people die
needlessly each year trapped in sinking vehicles. In addition, drivers
become trapped within their cars when the windows or door fail to
operate due to vehicle damage, fire or submersion. The key to survival
in these situations is getting a window open and freeing oneself and
others from the seatbelt. Both tasks are made difficult when drivers
panic, lack the proper tools or waste valuable seconds searching their
vehicle for a tool.
The BodyGard® 7-in-1 Emergency Tool is a
key-chain rescue tool that combines an automatic glass breaker, a seat
belt cutter, sonic alarm, bright LED flashlight with both a high beam
and low beam and an emergency flasher in a device small enough to fit on
a key chain or in a pocket.
This emergency lifesaver is small,
compact and fits in the palm of your hand measuring only 3” x 1¾” x ¾”
and weighing only 1.5 ounces and attaches securely to a key ring, rear
view mirror post or sun visor arm. It releases with a quick tug for fast
emergency use and glows in the dark to help locate it in low or no
light.
The glass breaker is spring-loaded to deploy automatically when pressed firmly against a vehicle's side or rear window. View usage guidelines.
The safety-blade seat belt cutter quickly frees both the driver and
passengers if their seat belts do not unlatch after an accident. When
not in use, the blade is housed securely in the casing to prevent
accidental cutting. Both the glass breaker pin and safety blade are made
of high-carbon steel for maximum durability.
In addition to
vehicle emergencies, The BodyGard® 7-in-1 can be used to signal for help
or to ward off attackers when walking, biking and hiking. With the push
of a button, its sonic alarm emits a high-decibel output. View usage guidelines.
Its flashing red distress light is also push-button activated to signal
and direct help to ones location. The high-intensity flashlight helps
users find their way in low light conditions.
BodyGard® 7-in-1 is
impact-resilient, is chrome plated, with a tough ABS construction and a
limited lifetime warranty. It includes a replaceable A23/12V battery
and instructions for use and care.
BodyGard® 7-in-1 Platinum
Series Emergency Tool has all of the features and benefits of the
BodyGard® Original 5-in-1 Emergency Tool plus a digital tire pressure
gauge and a thermometer.
It is recommended that at least once a
month and before long trips, tire pressure should be checked. Most
consumers only check their tire pressure when they realize that their
tire is nearly flat, which can negatively affect the ride quality, fuel
consumption and car safety.
Under-inflation is the most common
cause of tire failures and may result in severe tire cracking, tread
separation or "blowout", with unexpected loss of vehicle control and
increased risk of injury. Under-inflation increases sidewall flexing and
rolling resistance, resulting in heat buildup and internal damage to
the tire. It also may result in unnecessary tire stress, irregular wear,
loss of vehicle control and accidents. A tire can lose up to half of
its air pressure and not appear to be flat!
Consumers are urged
to buy a reliable tire pressure gauge, as automatic service station
gauges may be inaccurate and hard to find. Use of a digital or dial type
tire pressure gauge rather than a stick type tire pressure gauge is
recommended.
Vehicle gas mileage can be improved by at least 3.3%
by keeping tires inflated to the proper pressure. Under-inflated tires
can lower gas mileage of 0.4 percent for every 1 PSI drop in pressure of
all four tires.
The BodyGard® 7-in-1 also includes a thermometer which reads temperatures from 0° to 120° Fahrenheit.
