      It would certainly be effective once you brought it into action. The problem I had when testing this was that it’s kind of small and difficult to find in a hurry with your eyes closed. It’s also easy to confuse a pen or similarly shaped object for it. The escape tool is very easy to find. I’ve never actually tested breaking glass with either, but I’ve seen enough videos about car thieves to be convinced of the effectiveness of both.

      That actually sounds like a good suggestion. I’ve always thought I’d use the ‘turn on my back, grab steering wheel on my right and seat with my left arm, put both feet up to side window, pull back and kick the window out with both feet. Of course I haven’t tried it, but I’m pretty sure it would work. Especially if I did the center punch first. ;-)
