Recently there was a local news special about personal safety and emergency items that should be kept in a vehicle. There was a lot of discussion about the statistics of people drowning in vehicles. According to the story there are over 10,000 water immersion auto accidents each year. In a large portion of these accidents there was people inside the vehicles. Some people survived some perished.

I would also expect that with the current distracted driving epidemic the number of fatalities will unfortunately increase. I can’t imagine what it must feel like to be trapped in car waiting to drown. I have read similar information before. This time I decided it was time to take action and choose an automobile rescue tool. Enter the Statgear T3 Tactical Auto Rescue Tool. The price of the Statgear T3 Tactical Auto Rescue Tool is $34.99 just about everywhere online. My shopping preference is Brownells because of their extensive gun parts and gun tools inventory but I get that it’s becoming an Amazon world.

Statgear T3 Tactical Auto Rescue Tool Blade Closing Instructions
With the knife edge facing you, there are two pieces of flat steel in the middle of the knife. One goes all the way from the top to the bottom of the handle and the other one on the right is bent towards the right. That bent piece is the liner lock. You use your right thumb to push the right piece (liner lock) towards the straight piece (i.e. push the right piece to the left) and at the same time you carefully close the knife blade (watch your thumb!). The same type of lock exists for the hook seat belt cutting blade on the back of the knife. You use your thumb to push in the piece of flat steel towards the center of the handle and close the hook blade.   Check out our blade closing video by hitting the VIDEO tab above.
