About
James Alexander, Director Product Development
- The local news story that revealed the unfortunate fate of a woman that drowned in her SUV because she was unable to escape through her car window, inspired Jim to reinvent the wheel...or in this case invent a better escape tool. It was clear that a flat credit card size tool , readily available, on your phone or right on your visor is what is needed. The old fashioned inconvenient or unaccessible, bulky tools that require strength were outdated. A smart tool, using the energy of the window itself not physical force should be in everyone's car in case of an emergency. A tool using no moving parts (springs) that may misfire; would be the best tool for the job. With a background in ultra sound medical device inventions, Jim created just such a device. A window breaker that uses no moving parts and takes no strength to use; it works by using the stored energy within the glass to shatter the window for you. It took about two years to develop and now OWL® escape tool is available around the world. OWL® fits perfectly on a car visor, and breaks tempered windows with the snap of a finger. It is amazing that a flat credit card size tool is this powerful. OWL® is manufactured in the USA for the highest quality control of each and every unit.
