The Sealey TST19 is a compact, multi-functional safety device designed for drivers who prioritize emergency preparedness and routine vehicle maintenance. It excels at providing life-saving capabilities—specifically shattering tempered glass and slicing through seatbelts—while doubling as a convenient tool for monitoring tyre health. The primary caveat is that while the tempered glass breaker is highly effective, it is not designed to penetrate laminated windshields or side windows found in some modern vehicle models.

No, this tool is designed for tempered glass typically found in side windows. Windshields are made of laminated glass and will not shatter when struck by this tool.
No, the Sealey TST19 is a purely mechanical device and does not require batteries or power.
The blade is fixed for safety; it should remain sharp for the life of the tool given its intended use for emergencies.
Store it in the driver's side door pocket or the center console where you can reach it while buckled into the seat.
It is recommended to check your tyres at least once a month and before any long road trips to ensure safe driving conditions.
Ensure no debris is lodged in the tip. A light application of silicone-based lubricant can help maintain the spring mechanism.
Ensure the base of the gauge is sitting perfectly flat against the tyre tread blocks and that the probe is vertical.
The TST19 requires no assembly or configuration. To ensure it remains ready for use, store the tool in an accessible location; avoid placing it in the trunk or hard-to-reach storage compartments where it cannot be grabbed in an emergency.
Keep the tool clean and dry to prevent corrosion of the internal spring mechanism. Periodically inspect the seatbelt cutter area to ensure the blade is free of debris. Note that this tool is specifically designed for 5mm tempered automotive glass; attempting to use it on laminated glass—which holds together when cracked—may result in failure to breach the window.
