I got this today and its the most coolest thing I think I have ever owned. The price is great for this little massacre.

This baton far exceeds what you expect to get for the price. It is completely solid, and with a little lubrication and practice, you can open it with a deliberate flick of the wrist, and possibly even close it if you apply a little elbow grease.

Good.

Got this a week or so ago, and its great. Packs a bigger punch than I'd expected, and was heavier too. Closing it takes some practice, but its completely do-able. Personally, I need to almost jump up to hit the baton hard enough to shut it, but i love it. Cant wait to meet a few bullies.

know this before you buy

I got these as a 2 for $10 each special to do double stick drills. Like the other reviews state, the sheath is not the best quality. I'm using super glue to keep the Velcro on. The baton itself has a hard time collapsing, so I unscrewed the back and looked inside to find a lot of rust. SPRAY THE INSIDE OF THE BATON WITH WD40 before you use it! After lubricating the inside of the batons they work like a charm! They stand head and shoulders above the spring batons you'll buy on this site (I should know I bought one for $10 and it warped on me). With these batons I was able to tear the crap out of a leather practice dummy. The impact from the batons ripped holes in the practice dummy and nearly took one of its "arms" off.

Ok but...

It is good but I had to use WD-40 so it would close and it looks like it has had a years worth of use because I have to slam it on the ground to close. One more thing, it is is a little smaller than expected but other than those three things it still is a nice self defense weapon.

Baton sheath

Reviewed By: Kraig Jones (Boscobel,  WI)
The sheath is far from heavy duty in fact I just got it today and it feel apart. The stitching came apart on the fasteners. There are loose threads all over the place. The baton is a little rough shape, its got scrapes on the end cap and rust on the interior of the end cap. Otherwise it seems like a good buy.

Decent

Reviewed By: Ryan (--,  NC)
It has a good weight to it and it's a good length for me (being 6'3"). If you are smaller or are buying for your wife's purse, you will want a smaller one. When I initially flung it open it was satisfying. However, I can't get the stupid thing collapsed again. I think I may have to take a hammer to it. I would definitely not describe the sheath as "heavy-duty". The elastic bands that hold it together are already coming apart at the seams. Also, when I unscrew the bottom, I notice that there is rust on the inside, which may have something to do with it being stuck open. Overall, it you are looking for an expandable baton, it's a decent deal for $13. Just be warned the expanding part may be a one time deal.
