The Snapper

This is one of our newest specialty tools we developed specifically for the RVers at the suggestion of a couple of the forum members with first-hand experience. After a bit of investigation we learned there was a need for this and how important its function is. This little tool could really save the day in the event of a flip over in your RV. We learned that almost all flip overs result in the canopy being broken and cracked. At first glance one would say that is a good thing, and should help facilitate a speedy exit. Not the case, it seems the partially broken canopy has extremely sharp shards of Plexiglas that are impossible to break off with your bare hands. We were told this over and over again when conducting our survey. We made several different prototypes and tested them for ease of operation and effectiveness, with this design being the all-around top performer. This very small, lightweight (less than one oz.) aluminum escape tool when carried in your airplane could really save the day, and possibly your life. It makes short work of breaking away the shards of plastic up to ¼” thick. This tool is laser cut .125”, heat treated, aircraft grade aluminum, de-burred, and tumbled to eliminate sharp edges. Because it is very thin, it allows you to carry it in your plane with just a piece of Velcro to hold it in a location where it is easily accessible should you find the need for it. Our latest version incorporates a very handy gas cap removal feature. We thought if the tool is accessed on a regular basis as when fueling, it would become a natural movement, to reach for it in an emergency.
