Quick Overview

The Rothco Tactical Pen serves as a low-profile duty and everyday carry tool for emergency vehicle escape via its integrated glass breaker. It also provides a concealed universal handcuff key for law enforcement/security professionals and functions as an expedient last-resort defensive implement.

Field Application Steps

  1. Secure a firm, full-fist hammer grip on the pen body with the glass breaker tip exposed.
  2. Target a lower corner of a tempered glass side or rear window, avoiding the center.
  3. Announce intent ("Breaking glass!") and ensure all personnel avert their faces from the impact point.
  4. Deliver a single, short, powerful strike using body weight to shatter the glass.
  5. Carefully clear remaining glass shards from the frame before proceeding with egress or rescue.
