As a self defensive tool its not the best possible item. It doesnt have the length or the weight to really knock someone to the ground. However, its compact and fits well in your car or in a desk. It fits well under a jacket. It will menace and has an imposing appearance so it should be able to keep someone back. However, if you have to use it then it wont knock someone down like a longer bat.
If you want an item to defend yourself in an office or home then I would go with the Cold Steel 29 inch Crusher bat. However, if you need something more compact for your car then this one cant be beat.
In short not worth wasting your time and or money.
In short not worth wasting your time and or money.
This tire thumper is just what I was looking for. The solid copper weight at the end of the bat gives the bat more momentum when swinging. The short leather strap fits snugly around the back of your hand (it's not meant to go around your wrist), adding to security in case someone tries to wrestle it from you or you get a bit to enthusiastic when testing tire pressure. It's just the right size to give you adequate reach while one-handed. I'd much rather use this than a standard baseball bat which would be clumsy indoors, especially two-handed.
I suggest buying a few of these and keeping them throughout your house or in your car. I also suggest keeping your fire extinguisher right next to your home defense weapon. Fires are much more common and take more lives each year than robberies. But it's important to have both fire and security protection in the house.
Let's hope this never has to be used, but like my dad used to say, "hope for the best, plan for the worst".
first tire check, handle snapped off..........
Revised :
I still love this tire thumper. The reason I'm revising this is because I noticed where a few people asked if they would get in trouble for having it in their car. I live in Missouri, and I carry this in my backpack because the truck I drive is driven by other people that work in the company too, so I don't want one of them to take it. They all have their eye on it because they like it. Anyway as I said I carry it in my backpack, and I've had police officers see it and they've never given me grief, but maybe it's different state by state.
