The hammer is intended to be mounted in a car, within reach of the driver. It should be noted if the seatbelt locks in an accident, the driver's reach will be very limited. The black plastic mounting bracket the hammer comes with has holes for bolting in place, but it also has four sharpened steel prongs which can be pushed through the carpet lining the passenger compartment of the car to fix it in place.
The hammer looks solidly built, with three steel bolts holding the two parts of the handle together. The seatbelt cutter is recessed so that a finger will not fit in the slot to be cut. The hammer has only a small amount of steel in the head and so is less heavy that a carpenter's hammer. The mounting bracket appears to hold the hammer firmly, but obvious it should not be positioned so it could fly forward in an accident and injure a passenger.
