Something pointed would be way better, doesn't even have to be big

Many are built into USB adapters for the old cigarette lighter style of plug, so if you've got a car with one of those plugs you can slot it in and if you ever need it you pop it out, put the plug to the window and slam, shatters right away, don't need that much force or space at all

    This effectively is what an emergency hammer is - a "hammer" but with a narrow point specifically to be able to break the glass from the inside.

    Yeah but normal people are going to read "emergency hammer" and think you mean it like a carpenters hammer you have for emergencies

    The product has a stupid name, I blame engineers (as usual for bad naming of things, sorry guys)

    They are called Window breaker safety hammers because they are shaped like hammers, and you use it like a hammer.

    They make window breakers on emergency flashlights for vehicles. Those aren't called hammers, but an emergency flashlight with a window breaker.
