I knew it was getting bad in the world but this one really worries me. When they start putting flashlights on knives I think it’s time to start buying my groceries online like I do everything else.
@RiotDemon Oh, I totally get that. BUT…there’s a huge width difference between a seatbelt, and rope. The seatbelt cutter could probably handle 4mm rope, but thicker stuff? Just look at how little a space you have to wedge it into! Couple that with having to wiggle it into a tight space with a person who is (presumably) dead weight, and I wouldn’t want it as the only tool in my toybag to get someone free!

True rating 1 star according to fakespot. Too bad I needed a knife like this to put in my wifes’ car we just had a horrible bunch of tornadoes down here in East Texas where a family wrecked and 2 kids were trapped in their seats underwater. Thank god they were pulled to safety by good samaritans but without a window tool, it is almost impossible to break those windows.
All these cheap emergency escape knives are terrible. The glass breakers are just made of stainless steel. You have to swing with the force of thors hammer to break a car window with one. You need harder steel for them to work.
@ColeSloth I’ve seen a small woman break a car window with her first and a handkerchief. A steel tip should be more than sufficient to break car glass.
WOW! Never seen one light up when it’s at full attention. I mean I know about the “morning systems check” but if it can do that then y’all just wasted money on the light up toilet bowl thingy. Does it light up as well when you use your jet streaming back door cleaning machine too? Curious minds want to know. Or maybe it’s just me. Since the knife is tiny I’m assuming that part is also - no sell here I don’t need a knife with small man syndrome overcompensating because it can light up. Plus, I already have knives all over the house and a safety word (plus I use scissors not a knife they’re too dangerous) so I’m going to keep my $10. Can’t hit the meh button though I have 39 days left for a year of no button clicks.
Sorry - I didn’t read everyone else’s before I posted -so sorry about that I sorta doubled up on you guys but at least @QuiteDelusions gets it. I’ll shut up now. G-nite.
@jmoor783 Depends on how many people are on the bus. If there are only a few people, you could probably hijack it with just a knife. Any more than 3 people and you’ll probably want a gun or some sort of explosive. Just make sure you’re comfortable with having to take your own life with just a knife, in case things don’t go well for you. And bring snacks. The pizza guy is always an undercover cop.
Got maybe mine today. Nice feel, speedy opening. Reports of shipping with dead batteries. Mine didn’t work out of the package. Unscrewed end of flashlight and an insulating disk fell out. Nice. Reassembled and Voila’!, flashlight works great.

Man, what a letdown after yesterday
@haydesigner What could possibly follow hosiery?
@huja Lick 'n Suck - you just can’t follow that so it was either speaker, docks or knives. As cengland0 stated.
Looks tacticraptastic.
@RedOx Craptacticular?
@RedOx anticlimacticrapting?
@RedOx Tactdiculous.
@RedOx Douchetacticular.
@RedOx Tactidoucheular
@mike808 you guys keep misspelling tactical.
@triplebud Right! Open a dictacticionary once in a while.
@RedOx Craptacticalaliocious
@triplebud Don’t you mean tacticool?
@triplebud or maybe it is tacticspellical
Wow. It’s a knife AND a flashlight.
@lljk If only it had Bluetooth.
@lljk needs a speaker dock
Meh, would buy if it had bluetooth speakers.
If it only had Bluetooth speakers
/giphy rigid-sturdy-rib
@Stumpy91 Mmmmmm. Grill Porn.
@4771cu5 & @lljk great minds, etc
If I go ahead & order it, will yinz send me a car, Meh?
@gertiestn I think they include the car. There is one in the last image and it doesn’t have fine print saying car is not included.
@cengland0 But who wants a broken car?
Aaaaaand once again Meh is on the cutting edge of interesting products. Not.
@Mehrocco_Mole ahhh the classic 1990 “not” joke! That was really clever! NOT!
I don’t need a knife that has a lit erection.
It’s tactical… AND practical!
(feel free to use that in your marketing materials)
Is that a flashlight on your pocket knife or are you just happy to see me?
I knew it was getting bad in the world but this one really worries me. When they start putting flashlights on knives I think it’s time to start buying my groceries online like I do everything else.
Ok, the last thing you want when you need to cut someone out of a rope tie gone wrong, is a sharp and pointy knife. Safety shears, people, please!
/image safety shears
@QuietDelusions Which would David Carradine pick, Grasshopper?
@mike808 Too soon. Would still be too soon in 2020.
@QuietDelusions he’s not talking about using the knife, he’s saying to use the seatbelt cutter to cut the rope.
But they come in quite useful if you have evil villians climbing up a cliff to kill you.
Then you can cut the rope with the knife.
@QuietDelusions you’re not the sharpest knife in the drawer, are you?
@ekw No, not always, but I stand by my statement!
@RiotDemon Oh, I totally get that. BUT…there’s a huge width difference between a seatbelt, and rope. The seatbelt cutter could probably handle 4mm rope, but thicker stuff? Just look at how little a space you have to wedge it into!

@mike808 …you gave me a sad.
But can it core an apple?
@DMO
@DMO Some of those old shows hold up so well. That will be funny forever!
Needs a laser sight. Does it come with a pet hair attachment?
At least they used decent steel on it.
/giphy decent steel
No fire starter, paracord lanyard and compass
@cranky1950 The compass lens is on a swivel, and doubles as a daytime firestarter.
@cranky1950 I don’t think you’re looking for a knife - you want to hire Les Stroud to travel with you.
Biggest complaint looks to be that it shows up with dead batteries. If you buy, be prepared to buy new batteries if you want a working flashlight.
That is hella tacky.
@UncleVinny I think you mean HELLA TACKTICOOL!

If you need a window tool, just use the headrest.
@mike808 The headrest looks too bulky to carry around every day.
@El_Oel How about a broken spark plug?
@Pantheist That is the worst automotive based threat I have been threatened with.

@WTFsunshine - I hit it for you

That might even be too big. Oh,well.
Amazon reviews are awful

Meh!
After watching this video , I think I’ll pick this up to keep in my car. Granted, during an emergency, I’ll probably completely forget it’s in there.
The missing banter at the end of the email is a dispiriting way to start a Friday.
am I the only one who was disappointed that the survey was about sushi and not bondage?
@ekw At least it didn’t ask to pick from a list of songs I never heard of before.
@cengland0 but once when they did that I got to “discover” a “new” band that broke up over 30 years ago!
(so as not to be a tease, the band is “Any Trouble”, and the collection available of their Stiff label recordings is excellent!)
I got a window breaker and seatbelt cutter earlier this year, but it was a Chinese knockoff. I’m hoping this one will be better.
I don’t need one of these; I don’t drive over bridges.
@jmoor783 you don’t have to drive over a bridge to flip your car.
@RiotDemon You do need a car to flip your car, though.
@Kawa do i need one for the bus?
@jmoor783 Depends on how many people are on the bus. If there are only a few people, you could probably hijack it with just a knife. Any more than 3 people and you’ll probably want a gun or some sort of explosive. Just make sure you’re comfortable with having to take your own life with just a knife, in case things don’t go well for you. And bring snacks. The pizza guy is always an undercover cop.
Cinco de Mayo and no Margarita maker? not even a Blendtec?!
@xo_bob You could cut limes with it. And break out of your car when you margarita into a pond.

When is a switch-blade going to be offered?
@werekong Probably problematic with shipping, since they’re not legal carry throughout the US.
I’d love a balisong, myself.

Knife and a flashlight? nice
where is the glass breaker?
@monkfish
Got maybe mine today. Nice feel, speedy opening. Reports of shipping with dead batteries. Mine didn’t work out of the package. Unscrewed end of flashlight and an insulating disk fell out. Nice. Reassembled and Voila’!, flashlight works great.
@Stumpy91 is there a way to turn the flashlight off other than unscrewing the end a quarter-turn or so?
@kensey Nope, that’s how these small flashlights work. Otherwise there’d be a button for it.
@kensey What @TwiNaga said.
