Victorinox Rescue Tool

Victorinoxàœ may have found their niche in public safety with the introduction of theàœRescue Tool. The main blade has a half-serrated/half-straight edge that allows for easy, one-handed operation. The seatbelt cutter is designed to provide a razor sharp, durable cutter with a rounded tip for patient safety. Other tools include the standard Phillips and straight-blade screwdriver, bottle opener, tweezers and toothpick. Two tools that stand out foràœEMS and rescue crews are the window breaker and the disc saw, which can be quickly changed to access an entrapped victim with ease. The bright yellow color makes it easy to find if dropped in low-light situations. It has a riveted, durable nylon case that closes with industrial-strength Velcro.
