Has anyone ever tried to use the glass breaker inside a submerged vehicle to get out?

It would be pteferrable to lower the Windows that way controlling inflow. Unable to do so however, I am confident the Uzi pen could quickly dispatch a side window with ease.

No the fluid would simply go through it and the big pieces of whatever would be caught. Not a water absorber, dry gas might be a solution?

If you are submerged in water to the windshield on an a stock Jeep with this snorkel, you would risk shorting your fuse box, you will ruin your fan, ruin your idler pulley, start sucking water into your transmission, transfer case, and differentials through the breather tubes, and have water pouring into the cabin. The snorkel would work fine but there is a lot more needed than a snorkel to "water proof" a Jeep.

I didn't use mine long enough to get wet bc I hated it! But I have a few relatives that use theirs & they kept dry to spills & baby slobbers however I don't know anyone who actually took it underwater!

I had to take my car to a nearby garage and get them to unhook it for me, which they did quite graciously. I've watched two people unplug it - they both lay on their backs so they could see under the dash, then pressed the "sweet spot" to release the device. I think it helped that they were both young guys - I'm a middle aged woman and when I tried reaching around the device from the front, I just couldn't exert enough strength in the right spot to release the doggone thing.

Hi John, thankfully no one in our family has had to use this tool in real life. I did test it at a junk yard; it will cut seat belts and break safety glass to the point you could hit/kick it out. Good question. Hope this answers your concerns. John

Almost. It goues about 80% to the end then stops. the glass breaker/hammer (butt of knife) is seperated to prevent electrical shock if cuting through some sort of power line. Quite ingenerious, really. Remember, this is Gerber's answer to the Special Forces "wish list" so they must have felt a need for this feature. The glass filled nylon handles of the LMF II are overmolded with TPV, or ThermoPlastic Vulcanizate. It will NOT come off!

I,m sure it could be done in a all out emergency, but does'nt seem like a very good idea. You will have to remove the grate , and a glass cover to get to the pilot. FYI the built in ignition will work even if you have a power outage.

I have on several occasions. Just be careful not to slide it around. I'm not sure if that would damage the glass top but better safe than sorry.

I have not. I do not know how fast you could go with it mounted on the outside of the car. Inside would be fine I would imagine.

No the motor is water tight. I have had the unit completely in water and touched it to take it out, and I was fine.

The glass breaker is at the rear of the handle. It would require you to hold it in your hand and strike the glass with it like a hammer fist.

It's very hard to get out without breaking it. I've replaced it twice. It's a serious design defect.

I haven't tried but I wouldn't imagine so. There's a small orifice on the top about halfway between the trigger and the face of the light that I assume to be a heat vent. I would imagine that some important bits would be exposed were the light submerged.

Haven't tried it but I don't see why not. I've picked up broken glass with it and it works just fine.

Not to my knowledge. My use and all others I have seen have been inside vehicles.

Sure, I haven't tried it, but anything glass would work well. And that's great idea to make the glass a little safer. I'd recommend watching a YouTube video on how the full time guys do it, as they have tricks to keep bubbles out.Nathanwww.wework180s.com
