A good story was done lastnight in reguards to self rescue from a vehicle in the event of a crash. I don't believe a link was given to find any of these items. I personally recommend the Res-Q-Mini http://www.copsplus.com/prodnum6128.php it has proven to work many times. I keep one in my turnout gear pocket and have used it several times to break a window, also it comes with a seatbelt cutter.
There are also local Fire Department equipment stores that the general public can visit. They of course sell mostly fire department equipment but some of these places also sell these self rescue tools. I recommend visiting their websites.
http://batt3.com This store is located in Arnold.
http://www.leonuniform.com/ This store is on Hanley Industrial. Across the street from Maplewood Commons.
http://www.lmefiretrucks.com/ This is out in St. Charles County Wentzville near 40/70 merge.
Like I said, call these places ask if they have them. They may not mention it, but they sell these little items around the cash register and may not list them online.
It is worth the purchase. Again, for these tools to work properly, you need to get a grasp on your situation and slow down. It would be rare for you to be in the situation where you would need it, but trust me, if you are calm and overcome your fears and slow down, you will come out much better.

Im a local Firefighter, who has grown up in St. Louis. I lived and worked in the city for a number of years. I love to do just about anything, especially helping others. I work hard, don't get paid the best, but I get food on the table. It's about helping the fellow person. And I fight for equality of the majority.
