he BodyGard 5-in-1 emergency tool is great for people who like to be prepared for worst-case scenarios. The BodyGard includes a distress flasher, a sonic alarm, seat belt cutter and door glass breaker, and an LED flashlight.What makes this emergency tool special is its size. While other emergency tools are so big they need special cases, or can only fit in your car trunk, the BodyGard 5-in-1 Emergency Tool is small enough to be attached to your keychain. You can take it with you wherever you go, and feel confident you have a tool to get you through just about anything. The BodyGard 5-in-1 Emergency Tool is definitely something you don’t want to leave home without. Frankly, there’s no point in having a tool like the BodyGard if you can’t use it quickly and easily in the case of an emergency. The BodyGard is designed to quickly detach from your keychain.
Just give it a good yank and it easily slides off. A Sonic Alarm attracts attention and annoys any would-be attacker. Pressing the red button on your BodyGard activates the sonic alarm. Trust us, it’s pretty darned annoying. At first, we couldn’t figure out how to turn it off (that’s what you get for not reading the instructions) and it almost drove us crazy. We ended up wrapping it in a coat (which made it just bearable) until we read the instructions. Hint: Hold the button down for 3 seconds to turn it off. The point of the sonic alarm is to attract attention to yourself in the case of an emergency or to scare off a would-be attacker. The manufacturer included a flashing red light in the BodyGard. This was a very good idea.You can use the distress flasher to flag down help if you’re stranded on the side of the road. While we think the flameless flare does a better job for this one particular task, having the red distress flasher in this tool is incredibly handy. It’s great to have an emergency tool like the BodyGard that includes a seatbelt cutter and window breaker. And we should all carry such a tool. But, we’re human and it’s hard to keep a tool on our keychain that we (hopefully) may never use. It’s a lot easier to keep that tool on the keychain if it can offer an everyday benefit. The LED flashlight feature provides exactly that great benefit. The BodyGard comes in an attractive gift box
Important safety information:
•It takes about 12lb of force to depress the plunger and activate the spring-loaded steel point. So, under normal usage, the steel point will never release. However, just like any other tool, it could hurt you if you used improperly (such as shoving the plunger into your leg).
•The stainless steel blade will not cut you if used properly (leave your keychain attached to it unless in an emergency). Don’t try to stick your tongue into it or something silly like that.
•The BodyGard release mechanism glows in the dark.
