Lasts a year...

This style is great... Until the battery's loose rechargeability then try and take it apart. It's designed to break wires and not be re usable. Very frustrating, pointless to buy another one every year, just make a changeable battery

Brutus

Love Brutus. I carry it everywhere. Just don’t take it to the airport or any government building. They will take it away.

Streetwise pen

A wise tool for women to have for protection, very light and easy to use

Poor Manufacturing

I bought this for the obvious reason and was not happy once I opened the package. 1. The safety lever was in the on position. I assumed it was in the locked position. 2. The pictures suck. There should at least be arrows showing locked position and armed position. I squirted the product by mistake thinking it was in the locked position. 3. the safety lever for lock or unlock is flimsy. There is a very slight detent to hold it in the safety position but it wobbles like some Chinese product. Low quality. I wouldn't by this product again as it feels cheap. Come on USA. You can do better. My Bic lighter has a much more solid feel than this thing.

My personal weapon

Work great, hide easily

Mace LED Pepper Gel

Super clever idea. Fair price. Sufficiently bright light for nighttime walking.

My Mini Stun Gun

This is my second purchase from Guardian. My first was a full-size stun baton which I carry during evening walks alone. The extra protection is great, but I needed something smaller for daytime. I walk alot, and our area is full of sexual predators and aggressive dogs that are loose. I haven't had to use either one yet, but I'm confident they'll do the job. It's nice feeling safe when I'm out alone. The mini is the perfect size to carry in my pocket.

Fox 1.4

If it's twice as strong as the original, we'll then I'm ordering more lol

Awesome Self-Protection!

I walk several miles every day for fitness, and unfortunately we're in a high crime area. As a woman, this makes me feel so much safer. Our town also has a number of large aggressive dogs that run loose, so this baton is perfect for me.
