I keep one in my Jeep. The seat belt can be hard to to release and in the winter the windows don't like to roll down.

The difficulty is where to keep it so it's not forever in the way but where you can grab it instantly. One idea I can suggest from my jet flying days is to Velcro it to your headliner - that's not how but it is where our canopy breaker tool was stowed.

Not the best choice as a self defence weapon
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

I carry a Glock (or three) and knives... never really thought about a seatbelt cutter, and glass hammer, but I can see where some folks would be glad to have them handy.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Just like an EDC gun, it’s good to have handy, and hopefully you’ll never need to use it. I don’t have anything like that for myself, but I’m way more apt to roll down a mountain side than land in water. 7mm

If you've ever watched a cop attempt to smash a side window, having a glass punch can be a life saver for you and others.
Every vehicle I own has an Automatic Center Punch in the console. Amazon has them for $12 for two.

Don't need a seat belt cutter. I have a dog.....
OK- truth is, I might have her trained out of that. Seat belt by seat belt - she ain't no generalist.
Got my camera case strap a couple days ago, tho. Bet she won't do that again either. Beating is un-necessary- scolding just destroys her.
Seat belt by seat belt....
The only true cost of having a dog is its death.

What do you think? It may come in useful. They make them with a flaslight body, just to make it actually useful. And a magnet on the end to hold it in place when you need that third hand.....

Just don't have it in a place where it could be a piece of dangerous flying debris in a more common crash. It is much more likely for someone to have an impact with a solid object than it is to end up in the water. If your crash is so severe that all of your doors are bent so badly that they can't open and the body panel pins you to where the seat belt can't be released, then your handy hammer will have been bouncing around as a lethal weapon while the car rolls.
Just consider this as to where and how it is secured.

a normal sharp knife is not the best tool for cutting a seat belt...
when the vehicle & driver are up side down
think about it.......
