The BodyGard Platinum is a little larger than I expected. I wear it on my keychain, however I could not imagine carrying this in my pants pocket (I don't know what I will do in the summer without a jacket). This review will be incomplete since I haven't had the opportunity to use all seven features. Here goes:
1) Thermometer Doesn't work. Stays on 80 no matter what the true temperature is. 0 stars
2) Digital Tire Gauge Have not used yet (but at least the readout works).
3) Flashing Red Distress Light Is very bright and strong. Very pleased. 5 stars!
4) High Intensity High and Low Beam Bright White LED Flashlight Provides very bright lighting with either setting. 5 stars!
5) Powerful Sonic Alarm Is not as loud as a powerful scream, but will draw plenty of attention if you are unable to scream for any reason. However, because of the location of the speaker, it is easy to cover it and dull the sound while holding it. 4.5 stars
6) Safety-Blade Seat Belt Cutter Is very sharp and well hidden so no accidents can happen. Just pull the keyring off and the cutter is revealed. I have tested it on thick paper and thin plastic and based on its performance, I have no problem trusting it in an emergency. 5 stars!
7) Automatic Glass Breaker Is very powerful for its size. I haven't had the chance to test it on auto glass, but I have used it on wood, painted sheetrock, and metal. It left a very noticeable mark in each, and always resets itself immediately after being deployed. Also, it took very little power to set it off even if you are hurt and weakened, you could probably still use it. 5 stars!
Overall, it is a very useful item. The thermometer doesn't work, but I really didn't care about that feature anyway. Every other feature works great (not sure about the tire gauge), and it is well worth the money. I would recommend this item to anyone who is worried about auto emergencies.
If you are looking for the smaller version without the thermometer or tire gauge try this out: Swiss Tech BGCSBK BodyGard 5-in-1 Multi-Function Emergency Tool with Key Ring. My wife has this one, and the important functions are just as good, but it is actually small enough to place in your pants pocket.

I gave this key ring tool as a gift to my daughter-in-law. Since she drives alone to work everyday and walks her dog at night, there might come a need for some of the device`s special functions. It seemed inexpensive and it fit nicely into a purse that was also part of the gift. I hope she never has to use any of the special functions but it is always better to be prepared in case of an emergency. Since this device is the size of a key ring, she can either hook it to her keys or to her purse and always have it on hand.Best Deals for Swiss+Tech BGCSOR-PS BodyGard Emergency Hammer with Seat Belt
Plenty of gadgets for the techno-freak! Only drawback is the expensive and hard to find battery replacement. Works as advertised and makes a nice gift.Honest reviews on Swiss+Tech BGCSOR-PS BodyGard Emergency Hammer with Seat Belt
I think this is a must have in the car. But to give you an idea of other possible uses, I moved in to a new place and the previous owners had mirrors glued to wall. They were so bonded to the wall that I had to break them and remove piece by piece. I first tried a hammer but it was going to make way too much noise and possibly be too dangerous with shattering glass everywhere. So I remembered I had this tool and used the glass breaking feature on the mirrors.It worked like a charm with minimal noise and the glass just shatterd in place. It made removal way easier.
get one.
