Meet the Inventor: Kevin Klier
Kevin Klier’s background is as multi-faceted as his invention. Before entering the automotive safety industry, Kevin excelled in the golf world. As a professional golfer, he mastered the art of precision, focus, and resilience—qualities that later fueled his approach to product design. He went on to become an award-winning publisher of a golf magazine, providing players with insights into the game he loved. His innovative spirit also led him to design a putting tool, crafted to offer instant feedback on one of the most challenging aspects of the golf game. In addition to his work in publishing and product design, Kevin is a dedicated author, father, and life coach, using his varied experiences to inspire others to overcome obstacles, whether on the green or in life.
Kevin’s journey from golf pro to inventor of the Rescue5X was sparked by an “aha” moment. Observing a car technician struggling to lift a heavy tire onto a hub, he recognized the need for a safer, more efficient solution. This realization led him to design the Rescue5X, an all-in-one tool
that could transform the way drivers handle roadside challenges.
“I created the Rescue5X to be there for every driver, so no one has to feel helpless on the side of the road,” says Kevin Klier. “It’s a tool built for safety and reliability, because when you’re in a tough spot, you need a tool you can count on.”
The 5-in-1 Solution That Outshines Its Competitors
“Five tools in one compact design—ready for any roadside emergency.”
Unlike typical automotive tools, which often focus on a single function, the Rescue5X combines five essential features. Here’s how it measures up against similar products on the market:
1. Chocking Device: Most drivers don’t carry tire chocks, relying instead on improvised solutions that may not hold securely. The Rescue5X acts as a dependable tire chock, stabilizing your vehicle during tire changes or emergency stops. While standalone chocks are often bulky and take up extra space, the Rescue5X combines this functionality seamlessly with other essential rescue tools, offering added safety without added bulk.
2. Lug Nut Torque Bar: Removing stubborn lug nuts can be frustrating, especially with a standard lug wrench that doesn’t provide sufficient leverage. Torque bars are available as separate tools, but they add bulk to your toolkit. The Rescue5X offers an integrated torque bar function, allowing you to slide the handle over your lug wrench to gain extra leverage, making even the tightest lug nuts easy to remove. It’s a huge improvement over standalone wrenches, especially in situations where strength or leverage is a challenge.
3. Tire Lift: The tire lift is one of the most unique and useful features of the Rescue5X.
Typically, lifting a tire onto the hub is a strenuous task that risks injury. The Rescue5X’s tire lift feature reduces this physical strain by supporting the weight of the tire, allowing easy alignment with minimal effort. Unlike separate lifting devices that are bulky and cumbersome, the Rescue5X’s tire lift is built into a compact design, offering an essential function without the need for additional equipment.
4. Shovel Functionality: Many compact shovels on the market are flimsy, making them unreliable in serious conditions. The Rescue5X includes a sturdy, integrated shovel made of glass-filled nylon resin, allowing drivers to dig out of snow, mud, or debris with ease.
Unlike traditional compact shovels that can break under pressure, the Rescue5X shovel is designed for durability and reliability, making it an invaluable tool in adverse conditions.
5. Traction Assistance: Traction pads can be effective in helping drivers get unstuck from snow, ice, or mud, but they are typically large, bulky, and difficult to store. The Rescue5X provides a compact, efficient traction solution. Its unique design allows drivers to place it under the tire for added grip, performing as well as traditional traction pads but without the space consumption, making it perfect for drivers with limited storage.
Built to Last: Tough Construction for Any Climate
Crafted from high-strength glass-filled nylon resin, the Rescue5X is built to withstand extreme temperatures, from blazing summer heat to the chill of winter. Competing products often use materials that can become brittle in the cold or overly hot in warm weather. This advanced material ensures it performs reliably in any environment, making the Rescue5X a dependable companion on the road.
Real-Life Use Case Scenarios
Imagine being on a snowy mountain pass when your car slides off the road. With the Rescue5X, you can dig out, add traction, and stabilize your vehicle—all with one tool.
Or picture this: You’re on a muddy back road when your vehicle gets stuck. Instead of waiting for a tow, you use the Rescue5X to regain traction and shovel your way to freedom. It’s like having a full roadside kit in one compact, easy-to-use device.
Compact and Ready for Any Emergency
“A trusted, award-winning tool every driver should have in their trunk.”
Despite its robust functionality, the Rescue5X is compact enough to fit under a seat or in the trunk,
keeping it ready for action without taking up valuable space. It combines the functionality of multiple tools into a single, efficient device, allowing drivers to be prepared without cluttering their vehicle.
A Proven Favorite Among Consumers and Businesses
The Rescue5X has not only gained traction with consumers but has also become a best-seller for automotive retailers. Here’s what some users have to say:
“I bought the Rescue5X because it covered all the bases for roadside emergencies, and I used it just days after getting it. It got me out of a snowbank when nothing else worked. Now, I don’t leave home without it!” — Ed Patterman, Rescue5X User
“The Rescue5X is our best-selling roadside tool. It’s the perfect multi-tool for our customers, and I’m proud to carry it in our stores. Customers are buying a quality, American-made product that’s been tested and awarded.” — Mike Connolly, Store Owner
The Value of the Rescue5X Over Time By combining five tools in one, the Rescue5X offers more than just convenience; it also provides long-term value. Instead of spending on multiple tools, you invest in a single, durable product that will last for years to come. Drivers can count on the Rescue5X for countless trips and unforeseen roadside situations, knowing it’s a one-time investment that pays off every time it’s needed.
As Kevin himself says, “People shouldn’t drive without a spare tire in the trunk, and they shouldn’t drive without the Rescue5X either.” The Rescue5X isn’t just a tool; it’s a trusted, award-winning solution that can help every driver handle roadside challenges with ease and safety.

Kevin Klier’s unique background as a golf professional, award-winning publisher, product designer, author, father, and life coach have all contributed to the Rescue5X’s design and purpose.
