Great little accessory. Its discounted price should be the original prize though. Around 7 euros max. I have seen it at up to 20 euros on amazon.de etc. which is totally overprized for a little bit in S2 steel with a rather dull rounded t-carbide tip. This is the reason for my 4 star review. The carbide tip is simply not very pointy and rather rounded on the tip which will require more force to break glass with. This is my second concern: The force needed to actually break both carglass but also other types of tempered glass like thick 3 layer thermal window glass in contemporary apartments, houses etc. Does the bitholder and the screws that holds the leatherman together even tolerate such impact without the tool and bit being destroyed? I will not test this for fun and it is better to have a broken tip and tool but survive a fire and escape through a broken window glass, but it would be best if the tool actually survives too and can handle the task. I have the leatherman ARC and though I would gladly pay the prize of a new tool to survive\/escape a serious threat, it would be even better to save the prize of almost 300 euro for the tool and the bit. I got it on discount at 255 euro for the tool and around 7 euro for the bit. Nevertheless I am glad I bought this carbide bit and I always keep it in my bitholder on the tool, so that it is ready at all times. You do not have time to dig it out and exhange bits in an unexpected emergency situation. On the other hand, it is fine to have to find the correct bit and exhange them temporarily when having to use the screwdriver for something. Just always remember to put the carbide tip bit back in the tools bitdriver when finished with the task at hand, so it is always ready for quick action when\/if needed.

This is a small, practical and solidly made window breaker. I always carry it close at hand in my pouch. I hope I never need to use it. The cost is not high, so in my opinion it is worth buying.
-
I have bought a few of these, and have one either in the tool or in the bit kit in the pouch. You could even use it with a bit holder if needed. Nut much more to say, that it is very handy do have. I have a dedicated Leatherman Skeletool, that acts as a "rescue" tool.
-
Solid punch for accessories, works well. The price and quality are typical for Leatherman, although a Phillips tip instead of a flat one would be useful.
-
The glass breaker has been made from exceptionally durable and strong materials, ensuring reliable operation in case of an emergency. The tip is very solid and fits perfectly into the bit socket. I regret that such an element is not part of the basic equipment of every multitool – this tip should be a mandatory addition to the set.
-
A glass breaker like any other, works well. I bought it as an extra bit for my multitool. I hope I won’t need to use it, but better safe than sorry. The package, as always, arrived quickly and without any issues from Military. Regards.

This is a gadget that you simply have to have... must have :) It's a pity there isn't a version with a crosshead instead of a flat screwdriver. I'm also tempted by a blade or a carbide breaker for smashing windows :)
-
Part of my EDC kit, I have tested it on a bit of glass but never had to use it for any real purpose. It's very much an item that I would rather have and not need, rather than need and not have it. I have not ever needed to use the flat head side but again useful to have on hand if needed.
-
It is an excellent complement to the multitool's capabilities, an absolutely useful addition to any Leatherman. If you carry it every day or drive a car, it's worth having it on hand just in case. I highly recommend it.
-
A tip of solid quality, designed with emergencies in mind. It holds firmly in place and does its job, providing safety during breakdowns. It's a practical addition to rescue kits or car accessories, where reliability and precision are essential.
-
The price is reasonable. The bit is solid and well made – it broke glass and tightened a screw, so if someone is looking for such functionality, I can definitely recommend it. However, it's worth checking in advance if your multitool is compatible with it.
-
Having this is essential, especially if you use a Leatherman and drive a car often. I always keep it in its place, and when needed, I have extra bits in the holder. It's convenient and gives a sense of security.
-
This is a product that is definitely worth having as a supplement for your Leatherman. It's not cheap, but once you buy it, you can use it peacefully. Interesting concept – it's a pity there's no Phillips head. I recommend it.
-
This seems like an item you’d rather never have to use, but it’s worth having. It's good you can buy it separately, without having to buy the Skeletool RX.
-
It's effective, good to keep it somewhere in your pouch or bit kit. I also wish it had a crosshead, e.g. PH2 on the other side, then I would surely carry it in my multitool all the time.
