Gerber Seatbelt Strap Cutter Escape Tool — Coyote Brown, Pocket-Sized with Glass Breaker & Lanyard Hole

A compact, American-made escape tool that combines a shielded hook cutter, tempered glass breaker, ambidextrous sheath and lanyard hole for fast vehicle egress.

Designed and manufactured in Portland, Oregon, this Gerber pocket-sized strap cutter is built for quick, one-handed self-rescue from cars and SUVs. It pairs a blunt-tip, guarded hook blade to slice seat belts and straps with a hardened tip to shatter automotive glass. The textured grip, large finger hole and quick-release sheath make it simple to deploy under stress, while its low-profile size fits gloveboxes, keychains or molle webbing.

How does this tool help if a seat belt jams?

The hooked 420HC steel blade is recessed behind a blunt tip, so you can slide it under a trapped belt or clothing without cutting skin or snagging. Pulling the strap through the protected hook severs the webbing quickly with controlled force.

• Recessed hook blade for safe under-strap access
• 420HC steel delivers sharp, durable cutting performance
• Large finger hole for leverage and one-handed use
• Compact 4.375" length for easy storage

Can I break a car window with this tool?

Yes — the tool includes a tempered glass breaker tip engineered to concentrate force on a small point, making a tempered side window easier to shatter for fast exit. Use with short, firm strikes rather than sweeping motions.

• Hardened breaker tip sized for automotive glass
• Blunt-tipped cutter keeps your hand safe while switching functions
• Textured back edge offers stable striking purchase
• Compact, lightweight design reduces storage friction

Where and how can I carry this escape tool for quickest access?

The unit ships with a quick-release friction sheath and ambidextrous attachment so you can mount it left or right on a belt, pack or molle panel. A lanyard hole and small footprint also let you keep it on a keychain, in a glovebox, or clipped to emergency kits.

• Quick-release sheath for one-motion deployment
• Ambidextrous clip fits belts and molle straps
• Lanyard hole for tethering to keys or gear
• 3 oz weight—easy to carry without bulk
