How Does Window Punch Work

The Window Punch Tool is the instrument needed for extrication from vehicles after accidents or other auto emergencies. It is used by applying pressure with the tool on the safety glass of a car window, which will cause the window to shatter and allow for safe extrication from the vehicle.

How hard is it to smash a car window?

Breaking the glass will be relatively easy. There is a catch, though. If you use heavy metal to break a glass, you should go around the edge of the glass at its weakest point. Manufacturers assume that in a collision or impact that the center of a windshield or auto glass is the most vulnerable point.

How does the center punch work?

A spring-loaded center punch is used by pressing the marking end against the work piece. A spring-loaded center punch stores energy in a spring, and as compressed it is triggered and releases the spring-stored-energy as an impulse that drives the punch into the work surface, producing the dimple, character, or symbol.
