I'm not trying to be difficult.No thanks to your unhelpful reply. It is replies like yours that drove me to ask this question in the first place.
If there is a way of finding out, make sure the glassbreaker tip is, at very least, tungsten carbide and that you have personally and successfully tested it on piece of tempered glass.I got this 2 for free after major service on my car.
I think is good. As it is 5 in 1 tool. Most useful is the hammer sharp point tip and the cutter for our safety belt.
What I wrote earlier was En Salim said that such ResQMe device can break through a security tint, but may take several attempts to do so. In other words, security tints complicate glass breakage but the tints are not impervious to ResQMe or such other devices.I'm not trying to be difficult.
I actually spend about RM400+ on a bunch of ResQMe from Chong at Perfect Protection to give out to my family members. So it's not like I'm pissing in your cornflakes for no reason.
What I am saying to you is that you owe it to yourself to test the ResQMe on the specific security tint that you use with your car. That is the only way you can be sure. Encik Salim made some general statements that suggested to you that it 'may' work' on security tint 'depending' on various factors.
In short, he is guessing. To me, THAT is an unhelpful statement because it does not answer anything definitively and, if anything, it gives a false sense of confidence.
I have security tint on my car and in short order I plan to sacrifice a side window to test the ResQMe. But that's just me. You do what you like. For what its worth.
Incidentally, the glass saw on the Victorinox Rescue Tool will saw through a laminated front windshield but it takes time and effort.
Spite you ? I have better things to do.So, yes, please test breaking your security tint and report to us (even if to spite me), preferably with video evidence. Otherwise, your last post, as like your previous posts, are unhelpful because they do not contribute to new information.
I can tell you that sparkplug ceramic thing worked on tempered glass. I wouldn't have believe it had I not seen it myself. We had a condemned car at a friend's workshop an threw a steel ball bearing and then piece of the ceramic at the side window.See if I can spot any idiot driver that is in my list of idiot drivers one day. Can try on their windows and see if it works
Boy, you talk too much. Just do the test already. No need to put disclaimer, warning, tips, helpful hints, theoretical evidence, suggestions ...Spite you ? I have better things to do.
I didn't get anything useful from Salim's comments, to be honest, irrespective of his position as a SAR personnel or whether he spoke about the ResQMe's attributes on sec tints with confidence.
Unless he actually did some scientific tests on security tints, it's all rhetorical and I do not bet my life on mere rhetoric.
The ResQMe will work on non-security tinted tempered glass. That at least is proven, otherwise I would not have spend good money on a bunch of them and trusted them enough to give to family members.
And while you may be eager for me to report on ResQMe test results on the sec tint on my car, you should be completely aware of few things just so that people do not get the wrong idea :-
1. The results will only be applicable to the security tint on my car
2. There is absolutely no warranty that it will perform in the same manner with sec tints from other makes.
3. Even amongst sec tint from the same make, there are different levels and grades of protection. Obviously, all things being equal, a tougher grade will affect things differently.
4. If I do report on the results (and I may not for liability reasons) you rely them on your own risk. There is absolutely no warranty or guarantee that the results are representative to any and all circumstances. I'm not some nationally sanctioned, qualified or certified standards and test body and this is not even remotely a representation of the product's effectiveness or ineffectiveness. You have been warned..
ha! ha! test on his car.....See if I can spot any idiot driver that is in my list of idiot drivers one day. Can try on their windows and see if it works
Could be the point of impact. If ceramic sharp point hits the glass it will break.I can tell you that sparkplug ceramic thing worked on tempered glass. I wouldn't have believe it had I not seen it myself. We had a condemned car at a friend's workshop an threw a steel ball bearing and then piece of the ceramic at the side window.
The ball bearing kept bouncing off without doing any damage. That light piece of ceramic exploded the the window. Amazing.
Still, sometimes it took several tries to get the desired result. Not something you rely on in an emergency. Get the ResQMe and hang one on your keychain.
Question of curiousity : why are you so argumentative? If Fvel choses to test on his car and not publish, it's his perogative. If he also chooses to point out possible scenarios that you disagree with, that's his choice and opinion. Why are you so dead set on shooting him down everytime he chooses to share his thoughts on the matter?I just want to know how easy or difficult it is to use devices like ResQMe on security tints. Period.
But as you guys have observed, no one here actually knows the answer (which is okay) but some people here act as if they do (which is not okay). They talk a lot but shirk from the challenge or commitment to justify their explanations.
I am not pro ResQMe. If it doesn't work, then I know. And I choose one device that does. But I do not believe this issue is so complicating that one can copout a test simply by saying this test is only unique to me. Yes, cars are different from one another but not by so much that we cannot learn anything from other people's test on their cars.
I never asked or suggested anyone to perform any test. Originally, I was asking a simple question but got no definitive answers here (understandably so), but I later reported what I was told by a Search & Rescue member. That's all.Question of curiousity : why are you so argumentative? If Fvel choses to test on his car and not publish, it's his perogative.

If you're so interested in knowing, why not try it out on your own car assuming you have sec tint?
I have no interest in a ResQMe nor its purpose so I have no comments or reason to post here. But seeing the argumentative nature of the situation here is getting a little tiring.
I wouldn't call someones opinion or insight on the topic "corrupting of knowledge". At least it's a different perspective.I never asked or suggested anyone to perform any test.

But then came someone, swooping down and bragging about the amount of research he did and about the importance of making sure such devices work, but yet he fails to do it himself (but suggests I do it if I value my life or my family's ... yada, yada).
Yes, like you, I too am tired but what to do when someone corrupts your good intention of sharing knowledge?
I didn't write "corrupting of knowledge" but "corrupts your good intention". So get that right, and yes, I'll move on.I wouldn't call someones opinion or insight on the topic "corrupting of knowledge". At least it's a different perspective.
I only see you challenging him on his opinions and that I do not appreciate. So like you and I are doing in the hantu thread, let's just choose to ignore and continue on with healthy conversation yes?

Not really what we observed bro. We tested on several intact tempered windowsCould be the point of impact. If ceramic sharp point hits the glass it will break.
Just like a bigger piece of stone hit one of my friends front windscreen but bounce off and another had a smaller stone hit his windscreen and it cracked....
To break a window with a spark plug, must it be at which point of that spark plug to hit theNot really what we observed bro. We tested on several intact tempered windows
We initially did think it was an impact with a jagged point, but when we fashioned a similar piece of jagged steel it didn't do anything other than bounce off, no matter how many times we threw the thing at the window.
Also, the steel ball bearings we used of similar dimensions were dense comparatively to that piece of ceramic. The latter was 'featherweight' by comparison. Since none of the ball bearings busted anything it could not have been density of material.
The thing is sparkplug ceramic has a very high hardness rating. Most literature seem to suggest this is the reason you can explode a piece of tempered glass via impact.
If you have an opportunity to try it yourself, it's actually quite an entertaining test.
Thanks for the info. If have the chance sure will test....Not really what we observed bro. We tested on several intact tempered windows

Bro. FVel mention the ceramic part.....To break a window with a spark plug, must it be at which point of that spark plug to hit the
window to break? Or any part of the spark plug body that hit the window will break as well?
Didn't know such a small thing can break a window. Does it work from the inside as well?
Better by PMFvel - for my own information though, what security tint are you using and whats the thickness?
It has been a while since I installed the stuff, so I have to check the specs.Fvel - for my own information though, what security tint are you using and whats the thickness?
Not the sparkplug. Just the white ceramic bit. Take a discarded sparkplug, break the ceramic portion into smaller pieces with a hammer. Obviously, don't overdo everything by smashing into powder. You just need to crack them into pebble size pieces.To break a window with a spark plug, must it be at which point of that spark plug to hit the
