Be Ready When It Matters Most
According to the Australian National Road Safety Strategy, around 40,000 people are seriously injured on Australian roads each year. In many situations, it’s not just the impact that matters, but what happens in the moments that follow.

Have questions?
How does the Safety Hammer work?
The Safety Hammer combines a spring-loaded window breaker and protected seatbelt cutter in one compact emergency tool.
To use the window breaker, remove the cap and place the black end firmly against a corner of a tempered side window. Press firmly until the internal spring-loaded mechanism activates and breaks the glass.
The seatbelt cutter is housed inside the protected cutter notch. Place the seatbelt into the notch and push the tool forward through the belt until it is fully cut.
Where can I find the Safety Hammer instructions?
As well as on the back of the packaging that the Safety Hammer came in, you can download a digital copy of the instructions by clicking here.
Where is the window-breaking tip?
The window-breaking tip is housed inside the black spring-loaded end of the Safety Hammer, so you won’t normally see an exposed silver point.
To use it, remove the cap, place the black end firmly against a corner of a tempered side or rear window, and press firmly. The spring-loaded mechanism activates the internal window-breaking tip against the glass.
The Safety Hammer is designed for tempered automotive glass and is not designed to break laminated glass.

What types of car windows can the Safety Hammer break?
The ReadyGuard Safety Hammer is designed for use on tempered automotive glass, which is commonly used in side and rear vehicle windows.
It is not designed to break laminated glass. Front windscreens are generally made from laminated glass, and some vehicles also use laminated glass in certain side or rear windows.
We recommend checking the markings in the corner of your vehicle's windows or your owner's manual before an emergency to identify which windows are tempered. In an emergency, use the Safety Hammer on a tempered side or rear window, not the windscreen.
How do I use it in an emergency?
To Break A Window:
- Remove the cap and hold the Safety Hammer firmly.
- Place the black window-breaker end against a corner of the tempered side window.
- Press firmly until the spring-loaded mechanism activates and breaks the glass.
- If needed, repeat on another corner.
To Cut A Seatbelt:
- Place the seatbelt into the protected cutter notch.
- Keep the belt taut where possible.
- Push the tool forward through the belt until the seatbelt is fully cut.
How do I use the seatbelt cutter?
The Safety Hammer includes a protected blade designed to cut a vehicle seatbelt in an emergency.
Place the seatbelt into the cutter notch, keep the belt taut where possible, then push the tool forward through the belt until it is fully cut.
Keep fingers clear of the cutter and cut away from the body where possible.
Where should I keep it in my car?
Store the Safety Hammer securely within easy reach inside the vehicle so it can be accessed quickly in an emergency.
Avoid storing it loose or somewhere difficult to reach, such as the boot. With the Duo Pack, you can position the two Safety Hammers in separate secure and accessible locations for the driver and passengers.
Is it safe to keep within reach?
Yes. The Safety Hammer is designed with a protected cutting blade and spring-loaded window breaker.
We recommend storing it securely within easy reach so it can be accessed quickly in an emergency, rather than leaving it loose inside the vehicle.
Does it require charging?
No. The ReadyGuard™ Safety Hammer is mechanically operated and requires no batteries, charging or electronics.
Keep it securely stored and check it periodically for visible damage so it is ready if ever needed.
What if I never need to use it?
That’s the ideal outcome.
The Safety Hammer is an emergency preparedness tool that you hope you never need, but having one securely stored and accessible means it is there if an unexpected situation occurs.
