Poinçon à vitre. Ce poinçon [...] sert à casser sécuritairement les vitres d'autos. En effet, les vitres d'autos (sauf le pare-brise) sont sous pression. Avec le poinçon, nous appuyons sur le coin de la vitre et il y a une pression (environ 4lbs) qui est ressentie au bout du poinçon et la vitre casse. Plus le poinçon est réglé fort, plus la vitre éclaboussera en morceaux. 2, record 3, French, - poin%C3%A7on%20%C3%A0%20vitre%20d%27auto
