A Stun Baton permits you to keep a safer distance from a potential attacker. They deliver an effective high voltage charge that will keep an attacker a more comfortable distance away from you.
You will have a clear advantage by keeping an assailant at a safe distance when you use a stun baton because the reach of the stun baton is greater then the reach of an attacker’s arms. When the attacker is a distance from you sometimes just by test firing the unit and the sound and sight of the unit will be enough to scare him off.
With any self defense product, be it a stun gun, pepper spray or a TASER, the last thing you want to occur is to have an attacker take your self defense weapon from you and use it on you! Not good.
When you are looking at different models of a stun baton keep in mind that you want to make sure if an attacker tries to grab it from you he cannot. A good way to prevent this from happening is to buy one that electrifies not only the top where the metal prongs are but also the sides of the baton. That attacker will let go real quick when he tries to grab it from you.
One of the features that is really helpful to make sure you keep it in your hands is a wrist strap with a disabling pin. The way it works is the disabling pin is inserted into the base of the stun baton. The wrist strap is placed around your wrist. If an attacker does manage to pull the stun baton from your grasp the unit is deactivated. He will not be able to turn around and stun you with it.
OK, sometimes length does matter. Especially when it comes to using a stun baton. If you are concerned about how short or how long a baton you should get consider looking at an expandable stun baton. When not in use these little babies are a compact 12″. With the press of a button they extend to about 21″! Pretty neat, huh? When not in use it can be carried comfortably in your hand, just like an umbrella, or placed in a holster and clipped to your belt.
Stun batons are not only useful self defense products against an attacker but they can also be very useful for warding off an animal attack. With the Expandable Stun Baton it is very easy to carry the unit on a belt loop and it will not interfere with your stride. If an angry dog approaches simply pull the baton from the holster, press the button and that dog will be sorry he picked on you!
