Strap cutter

Strap cutter — a safe tool for emergency situations

A strap cutter is a small, portable tool designed to cut safety belts, lanyards, or ropes in emergency situations. It usually has a knife blade that can easily cut textile materials; the tool is often equipped with a glass breaker — a metal angled protrusion at one end that breaks car glass.
The big advantage of the strap cutter is that it is almost impossible to get injured by it since the cutting part is located on the inside of the hook and cannot injure your hand during use. Modern military sling cutters are sold together with a MOLLE case, however, even when carried in a pocket or backpack, the risk of damaging surrounding objects is minimal.

Using a sling cutter

• Medical and rescue operations. In combat conditions, as well as during rescue operations, a sling cutter can be used to quickly cut patients' clothing for medical care in the absence of special scissors.
• Car crashes. If you are in a car accident and are trapped inside the car due to your seat belts, a lanyard cutter will help you get free quickly.
• Extreme activities. A sling cutter can be an important tool for a variety of situations where quick release from lines or straps is important for safety, such as in mountaineering or parachuting.

In addition to these examples, the tool can serve as an alternative to a knife when quickly cutting ropes or wires is required.
