    This effectively is what an emergency hammer is - a “hammer” but with a narrow point specifically to be able to break the glass from the inside.

      Yeah but normal people are going to read “emergency hammer” and think you mean it like a carpenters hammer you have for emergencies

      The product has a stupid name, I blame engineers (as usual for bad naming of things, sorry guys)

        They are called Window breaker safety hammers because they are shaped like hammers, and you use it like a hammer.

        They make window breakers on emergency flashlights for vehicles. Those aren’t called hammers, but an emergency flashlight with a window breaker.
