What and where is the glass breaker. Would it be affective for window extraction in a flash flood, or just for show?

The glass breaker is on the rear end of the handle. Its a very solid knife so I have no reason to believe it wouldn't work, though that's not why I bought it and it does have a clip on it, if you've read a comment on it not having one. Its not a pocket knife per say. Its stout and heavy, perfect for what I bought it for, which is work, cutting, prying. I love the knife

The glass breaker is on the opposite end of the blade. I haven't tested it but I don't have any reason to believe that it wouldn't work. The knife is way to big for your pocket and there isn't even a pocket clip just in case you have extra deep pockets.

The glass breaker is at the rear of the handle. It would require you to hold it in your hand and strike the glass with it like a hammer fist.

It's on the butt of the handle, a top the seat belt strap cutter. I've tested both, the belt cutter and glass breaker, and the both work excellently.

Appears to be the butt of the handle, it has some weight to it. I am happy with the knife, never thought of breaking glass with it, more cutting prying etc.

The glass breaker is at the tip of the shaft. It's designed to shatter the car window.

I am using this device on storm door with full panel glass and half screen. It works very well with this door without any stress.

The SYCOM whole house surge protector can do both. I installed one on my circuit breaker box will little trouble. I haven't yet had a lightning strike or surge, so I haven't had the opportunity to see it work.

I do not have first hand experience with actual glass breaking but the Fortress customer service is amazing, so I would call them! They even answered my call on New Year's Day! If I had to guess, I would say "no" because when testing/programming ours, I had to have direct line of sight to the glass. Unless, of course, you have the ability to position it so it would be facing the glass of all three bedrooms, keeping in mind it needs an outlet. They do have a radius but I don't believe around a corner would work.

I think they operate separate. The taster would only be a one or two second burst. So no worries. You can tase while the flash is on...

I mostly use it for metal. I've tried one drinking glass. The cut is fairly shallow so it won't be a sand blast effect which would be deeper. If you try different bits and use heavier glass, you might get better results.

I hope you didn't have this device installed inside or near anything flammable. This unit isn't built inside a heavy metal box like many of their competitor's units. Power surges happen under a number of conditions. Maybe the unit malfunctioned, or maybe there as a surge from nearby heavy duty motor or some other device using a lot of power. If I had to guess, since it was raining, static built up like it does before a lightning strike, but was dissipated through power lines serving your house before it built large enough for a full blown lightning strike.

Gino posted the correct answer. The part on the board is a current inrush limiter. Basically these are a current diode that is sometimes damaged during surges or a nearby lightning strike. ( In my case) I would attempt a repair if you aren't opening your pool for a while. I purchased the replacement board and I am repairing the damaged one and will keep it as a spare. We have frequent lightning storms and I will probably end up using the spare at some point.

No, it will burst open. I ran over the edge of mine by mistake and it exploded. most of it survived, it was longer than I needed so I can still use it. If it ever rains in California again that is.

This is for the trunk. Not the glass. It is the longer unit used to lift the entire door.

at some point with enough forceful torque, the glass will break. Then follow the previous advice.turn off power and extract with needle nose pliers

It does not detect a bursted pipe. It is a sensor for a salt swimming pool system to active the generation of chlorine from salt

I have used this for the last year. My opinion: in an emergency yes (bad thunder storm); in normal traveling, no. It may eventually damage the awning material. Again, just my opinion.Bobby d.

The one Ihave has the glass breaker and not the DNA catcher. I'm not sure if the DNA catcher has that kind of room.

I haven't a clue as to what the breaking tip is. BUT it is a real point and hits hard.. I feel a window hit hard with the tip would crack open the window. Maybe you could contact the manufacturer?

No, it is intended to make a mark so your drill bit will start cutting at the center point where you need a hole drilled. Not as a safety device for breaking glass out as you are asking.

It works with clear glass storm door. I have a glass storm door and the quality is almost the same with and without the storm door. But the quality itself, it's not good for me. Very blurry either way.
