It's designed to be rust- and corrosion-resistant, durable and long-lasting, making it well worth the investment. The handle has an ergonomic, spongey sleeve that reviewers say is cushy and lightweight, so you won't hurt your hand no matter how hard you press down on it.

Promising reviews:"I one hundred percent recommend this for anyone who may need a little help getting out of the car. I bought a set for my grandparents and they LOVE it. It hooks in to the car and stabilizes so you can leverage yourself safely. It's super sturdy, durable, and easy to use. My grandparents love this product so much that they have since gifted several to their friends. They are small enough that my grandma typically travels with one in her purse in case she ever gets a ride from someone. This product is fantastic and I recommend to anyone!" — Niki"Works like a charm. My mother was able to get into my SUV much more easily." — Evelyn L."This item really helped my husband navigate getting in n out of the car after surgery. We gave the other one to a friend who had back surgery." — RedSky"These are perfect if your vehicle is either hard to get into or maybe is a bit higher than you can manage. I use them in both car and truck. Even bought some for other people after they saw me using them. So easy. Place on the metal hook your car door closes into. You will not want to ride without using these. I recently had knee surgeries and this has made life so much easier." — Jrt"What a great tool for assistance getting in or out of a vehicle. It's lightweight, but sturdy enough to support an adult who needs leverage. This tool is especially helpful for someone with shoulder issues, where reaching above their head to pull the weight of their body can be a challenge. Not every vehicle has a handle, but this tool can be attached to every door frame we've tried so far. These are so helpful we now have one for every vehicle. Another perk, our dad is more willing to go places when he feels safer getting himself in and out of the passenger seat without feeling like he is a burden. It did take a few tries before he got the hang of the stability, but definitely worth it especially for the price. Although we are using this for "seniors" it would also be good for anyone who has an injury, recovering from surgery, etc and could use extra support and stability." — TCat"Just had hip replacement and this product is a life saver. So much easier to get in and out of my car. Don't know what I'd do without it. I have one in each of my cars. Excellent product." — D.L.R.Take a look at a few other handy safety items that you can keep in your car from previous HuffPost reporting: This car-repair tool kitAmazonThis car-repair tool kitThis 67-piece tool kit will be your saving grace if you ever get a flat. It works on all types of cars, including motorcycles, trucks and tractors. Promising review: "This kit has everything needed to successfully plug a punctured tire. It comes equipped with 40 tire plugs, a quality tire gauge, valve stem tool and 12 valve cap replacements. Just a reminder, never try to plug a puncture that is outside of the tire treads. If your tire is punctured on the sidewall, go and have it patched on the inside. Plugs use your tire's tread to help secure the plug itself to the tire." — DonnieVAdvertisementAdvertisement$20 at AmazonThis cell phone car mount AmazonThis cell phone car mount If you rely on your phone to serve as your GPS when driving, it's important that it's at eye-level. Tearing your eyes away from the road to look down at your lap or cup holder just isn't safe. More than 15,000 people have bought and rated this phone holder (mostly highly), which mounts right on your dashboard or air vent. It works for all types of cell phones.Promising review: "I have a OnePlus (really big heavy cell phone) and the phone holders I tried in the past that attached to the heat/AC vents could not hold my phone in place because it's too heavy. It would work for a little bit but eventually the whole thing would just detach from the vent and fall on the floor of the car while I was driving. Not good. This phone holder was the first one I tried that ever actually worked for a larger heavy phone. It was extremely easy to assemble and attached easily to the top of my dashboard. Yesterday I took a long (five-hour) drive out of state on lots of bumpy roads and the phone holder really held extremely well and gave me no problems at all. It stayed in place throughout the ride. I am very happy with this product and recommend it to anyone with a large or heavy phone." — Andi Land $10 at AmazonThis window-breaker/seatbelt cutterAmazonThis window-breaker/seatbelt cutterBeing trapped in your car unable to escape it is a nightmare scenario.
