I was surprised to find my local HoPo didn't have any spring-loaded center
punches. Anyone have one/used one they could recommend? Primary use is to
punch out car window if trapped in a flood. Since the 100 year floods
appearing to be coming every 2 years now, I figure it's time to put one in
the glovebox. Not sure what happens to fancy power doors and locks when
they're shorted. I know when floods reach certain levels, car horns start
to sound, which I assume means the harness/electronics failing or that cars
really do have souls and "scream" when they drown. Either way, I think it's
prudent to carry one to pop a window if it ever comes to that.

I pay $100's for insurance that won't actually be able to do anything very
helpful during an underwater situation so I figured I could spend $10 or $20
on something that might prove useful in what I hope is an extremely rare
situation. (And that I could use in the shop, too!) I've only seen it
flood that seriously here before once in . . . well, once in my life,
really. With the bridges of the country in disrepair, who knows what will
happeno?

I've seen EMT's use a combo device that slits belts and punches windows, but
belts are manually operated and wouldn't lock up in a flood situation so
that's probably overkill. I am sure a new dollar mart rectangular letter
opened with a guide slot would work wwww

Any other suggestions?
