Looks just like any other long reach tool you've seen a mobile locksmith use to get someone into a car they've locked themselves out of, but the tip has a robust actuating mechanism to help with pressing stubborn unlock buttons, when you can make contact but don't have the leverage to apply QUITE enough
pressure. Can be pneumatic, electric, or even just spring loaded. Each has its advantages, available at different price points.

Squib actuation HAD occurred to me, as a matter of fact. That comes standard with our 8th of 7 Edition. The tool is brass, with a polished mahogany handle. |

1: Why can't car manufacturers make a door that CAN'T be popped so easily?
2: I feel that this device would result in many shattered windows. |

If you're applying pressure to the glass you're doing it wrong lol what amazes me is that just anyone can order these lockout kits for less than $40 on Amazon. |

[a1]: the point is that if the device breaks the window, you may as well just use a rock (they're cheaper).
[21 Quest]: I guessed (never used a lockout bar thing) that there SHOULD be no pressure on the window, but with springs or whatever, forces could go in unexpected directions. |

It only actuates out like an inch, just enough to push a button it's resting against. |
