Users experiment: it is difficult to open the glass with an online shopping safety hammer

According to the "Morning News" report recently, some people have used hammers, online shopping safety hammers, bus escape hammers and other tools to do experiments on car window glass. Among them, it is easiest to open the glass with a hoe, and in the case of finding the point of force, a special escape hammer for a passenger car can also successfully open the glass. However, a 28 yuan online shopping safety hammer is used to smash glass and glass. Unbreakable, the "head" of the hammer was dumped.

In view of this, some safety hammers, though they have many functions, cannot withstand the test of "actual combat." It's just an experiment, but there's no room for indulgence in safety issues in the moment of escape.

Merchants push "multifunction safety hammer"

For the reason that there is a small price difference between the two types of hammers, the clerk said that the difference lies in the function, "but both types of hammers are firm."

The clerk said that there are no specific parameters that can be used to distinguish between the firmness or performance of the hammer. In the description of commodities, there are often only basic items such as materials, colors, and models. The materials are simply labeled: iron and plastic.

Mr. Huang, head of a safety hammer manufacturer in Guangzhou, told reporters that the safety hammer they produce is mainly a multi-functional series with screwdrivers, flashlights, blades, and strong magnets, which are generally priced at more than 30 yuan. "To be honest, if consumers buy a safety hammer and go back, they may not be able to use it for the rest of their lives and they do not want to have useful opportunities. Therefore, we are considering the development of some other functions to improve usability," said Huang.

At the same time, a "mini-safety hammer" from the United States was mad at Weibo: it is called "ResQME" and is only finger-sized and can be hung on the key chain, containing a blade and a spring impact head.

In the event of a motor car incident, the safety hammer standards are still missing

If it is simply not to use safety hammer, how can the factory sales?

A year ago, some media had interviewed relevant departments on the quality supervision of safety hammers. The answer was: Vehicle safety hammers are not classified as fire control supplies and therefore are not regulated by the fire department; and the transportation department only requires vehicles equipped with safety hammers. It is also not responsible for safety hammer quality supervision.

Yesterday, the reporter learned from the quality supervision department of Hangzhou that at present there are no relevant standards for safety hammers in the standards of the manufacturing enterprises in Hangzhou and the local standards in the national industry. The testing institute also stated that it does not detect the safety hammer.

Although the national standard is lacking, enterprises have their own standards

Shen Jian, the manager of the Hangzhou Municipal Public Transport Group’s Ministry of Science and Technology, said that the safety hammers provided on buses are all standard for automobile manufacturers. By default, they are also purchased according to the standards provided by the manufacturers. Although China does not have a uniform standard for safety hammers, the industry or the company will have its own requirements.

"For the safety hammer strength, steel head material and hardness, manufacturers have relevant recommendations, such as the handle is too long or too short will not work, but also to inform the passengers the specific use and so on." Shen manager said.

The staff of the Yutong Bus Hangzhou Parts Center Library said that they also sell a variety of safety hammers, which will be reported after being stolen, but also have only basic functions and prices are different.

A safety hammer manufacturer in Guangzhou said that their own production standards are: the safety hammer's tolerance to glass is over 15 pounds, and the steel heads have to be treated to improve the firmness and so on. Products that do not meet these standards cannot be shipped.
