One tool does both; EDC weight savings. That said, a regular pen + card tool is cheaper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the glass breaker really work on car windows?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, on tempered glass (side\/rear windows). Windshields are laminated and won't break. Angle matters—straight 90-degree impact required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use this as a defensive tool?\u003c\/strong\u003e It's designed as a pen with secondary striking function.
