Typical Benchmade quality, sturdy, well designed and utilitarian. I hope to never need to use it, but it will live in my car in case of the unthinkable.

Great tool to have! I already have a SOCP Dagger which I love. It's definitely a useful tool to have with you.

Solid product. I liked that it slid inside the MOLLE of my H6 radio strap and was ready, but not noticeable.

I absolutely love this tool. It's very ergonomic and well made. Thankfully I haven't been in a situation where I needed to use it but I feel much better knowing I have it when the time comes. I have a perfect spot to stash it in my vehicle where it's easy to deploy but also out of the way. Also, the seatbelt cutter is razor sharp, I was able to shave very thin slivers of paper with it.

I bought it in the hopes to not rely on shears. Big mistake. An action that could take one, not takes two hands. First crack at it was a woman with a broken shoulder. She had a silky type shirt the material bunches up and it required me to pinch the material at the end pull tight and then pull. It reduced efficiency in my process. I wish I kept the box it came in to return it.

Wish it was a little sharper. I used to buy Benchmade knifes and they would cut me because they were so sharp. Feels like they reduce the sharpness now.

An easy everyday carry , especially for fire/EMS. Super light and discreet, great ergonomics, and the sheath is comfortable and built to last.

I was trained in Diemaking and worked/shaped all kinds of metals. The SOCP Rescue Tool is an excellent design and craftsmanship is superb! It will ride with me in my truck everyday and will personally carry while hiking and hunting. Mike

This tool is exactly what I needed. I wanted a multi-tool that I can also use, if needed, for self defense. It is not threatening and able to go wherever I go, hospitals, banks, grocery stores, etc. It is well made, and durable. The finish is not shiny and does not cause questions when seen by guards or law enforcement.

I purchased this item to keep in my car in case of an emergency and I hope that I'll never need to use it. But, if the need arises, this tool may very well save my life and those of my passengers.

Nice to have and easy to carry. Something that will work but you hope you don't need it.

This was a gift to my husband who ordered these for his rancher friends, ,but not for himself. You would be delighted how many farm and ranch chores it does. This little gem is perfect for sooooo many things. It is an easy buy!

Paired this with the SOCP combo, and am extremely happy. One practice piece, one blade, and one work friendly tool.

Everything that you need in 1 tool. It's Benchmade's Swiss army. Very pleased and impressed with the light weight design and functionality of this rescue tool. Keep it up benchmade. I will definitely be ordering more in the future. I recommend this rescue tool.

Built to perform; preferably use while wearing gloves, as it appears designed to do. I would rather see a smoother surface for the grip in case I need to use it without gloves. Great quality as one would expect from Benchmade. Nice scabbard, nice light weight. I would like to see a smaller version to wear on the belt or around the neck.

Picked this up to beef up my SAR kit, will be purchasing another to keep in my overland rig. Great product, heavy duty, and excellent design. I have no doubt this will be an exceptional tool should the opportunity ever present itself for use.

A must-have tool for first responders. This is one of the lightest weight and fastest deploying options on the market.

Practical and reliable! The rescue tool fits snuggly into the case with a click, and is easily releasable but sturdy at the same time.

Greg Thompson designed the 179 for rescue performance and less-than-lethal self-defense. The tool includes the Benchmade rescue hook design, a carbide glass breaker, O2 wrench and the same finger loop and integral sheath design as the rest of the SOCP family.
