I drive long distance, much of it around water. Knowing that if I go into the water, I can get out of my car and signal for help, is priceless.
This tool is well designed, small and yet powerful if ever needed.

The alarm does not work consistently. The temperature gauge has too small of numbers to read. The break glass option is difficult to understand and use. Not worth the money it costs

The Brookstone Catalogue is very diversified and I enjoy browsing through each page. Being a full time business professional on the road many hours to and from work, the Brookstone BodyGard 7-in-1 Emergency Tool caught my interest. I thought here is an xmas gift from me to me! I showed the catalogue to my husband and he too thought it was such a good idea that I should order more than one for other gifts. I ordered three and off they went as a stocking stuffer for my daughter ( she loved it), then to an office worker (she raved about it) and finally to my sister-in-law (she couldn't thank me enough and wanted to order 2 more for her daughters)....and as I counted how many I gave away, it left zero for me! Oh my -
I now need to order one for me, after all, it was my brilliant idea to begin with.
This is a tool that is convenient and compact enough to attach to your keychain. I know the recipients of my Christmas gift will treasure the Bodygard 7-in-1 Emergency Tool. This is one of those thoughtful, meaningful gifts that you hope never are put to use, but know if a situation arises that they have the means to be successful in resolving a precarious situation.

I haven't had to use this item yet, but we recently had a major metropolitan bridge collapse and I think this would have been helpful in that situation. We have children, so we wanted to be as prepared as we can for any situation. It seems like it would be easy to use, but honestly, I hope it's never needed.

I bought this for my grown daughter for Christmas. As a mom, you always worry about your children's safety. I feel so much more secure having purchased this and she feels more secure and loves it. The siren feature is a must have for any woman. Never worry about being unable to get out of your vehicle in an emergency. This can be literally a LIFESAVER. My next purchase will be one for myself.

Make sure that you do not let a little boy (in my case, 25 years old) play with this in the house. He wanted to ensure that the window breaker worked (thankfully, without trying it on one of our cars), so he created holes in my hamper. Also, before reading the instructions, he managed to engage the very loud alarm... it obviously works very well... especially when you can't find the off-switch.

I bought these as Christmas gifts for each of my two teenage daughters. I felt it would be very helpful to them in a lot of situations, especially since they are now drivers. They both love the item and think it will come in handy and easy to us. I feel little better knowing they have this tool, particularly in an emergency situation. I recommended this to a friend, who purchased two for her adult children and one for herself.

The safety features are great. We love the fact that the features are all located on one, simple to use, tool. We gave one to each of our twenty-something children and they loved the tool also. Two of our children said they will put it on their key chain and two plan to leave it in the glove box of their car in case of an emergency.
