"I'm a U.S. Park Ranger/EMT and I used this product last week on a vehicle rollover with a patient trapped inside requiring extrication.
The vehicle was on the Driver's side and the only viable access was through the unbroken windsheild.
I used the breakaway as advertized using strikes in a circle to defeat the laminated windshield. The breakaway WAS working effectively until the ceramic tips all broke out. 2 of the ceramic tips fell out intact and one shattered.
I impacted nothing but windshield during this evolution and I have only had the breakaway for 2 months.
This was the first and only time I actually used the breakaway.
I have NO DOUBT to its merit for breaking a non-laminated tempered passenger window.
I do have doubts as to its durability with multi-strike windshield breaking. It should not be advertised for windshields."
