Product Description
This Expandable Spring Baton is your secret to self-defense. Available in two sizes. With a simple snap of the wrist, the baton expands to its full size and becomes a flexibile self defense weapon. The 23" baton measures 9" when closed. The 17" baton closes to measure 7". Each baton features a rubber handle for better gripping. Nylon wrist strap included. *Note: The "Spring" references the heavy duty spring that is part of the expanding shaft. **** OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS **** To open - hold baton close to body, gripping the handle firmly. Swing baton quickly away from body. The batons will extend. To collapse - grip handle firmly and strike the tip of the baton into a firm surface (such as the ground) in the opposite direction that the baton extends. ***** PLEASE NOTE ****** We have received several comments that these batons can be hard to close. The sections are held open by the friction of the tubes against each other. The more force used to open the baton, the more force needed to close the baton. These batons are not toys. These batons are are heavy duty steel weapons for self defense. We choose to seel a high quality product that takes some effort to close than a piece of junk that will fail in an emergency situation.

 Is that a sjambok in your pocket? December 14, 2005

An expandable baton is a "less than lethal" weapon which can break bones, cripple, and possibly even kill. Conversely, a "spring baton" barely meets my definition of a weapon at all, as it is nearly impossible to inflict a serious injury with one ("You'll put an eye out with that thing!"). Think of it as a "kinder, gentler expandable baton" which you can give to your pacifist girlfriend who's too inept to safely own a can of Mace. Hit someone as hard as you can with one of these toys and it'll hurt real bad -- it might very well leave welts -- but it's unlikely that your adversary will require emergency medical assistance.
I like this particular baton because it is well engineered, has a shock-absorbing / temperature-resistant grip, and a wrist lanyard to prevent it from slipping out of your sweaty mitt whilst enthusiastically whalin' away.
The 17" version is the one you probably want, as it is lightweight, compact, and fits nicely in one's jacket pocket without making it noticibly hang down on that side. The 23" version is longer and heavier, and can only be carried in a purse or beltpack (unless you don't mind having it stick outta your back pocket) -- it is excellent for engaging multiple opponents on the street, but too long to utilize effectively in a hallway, subway car, or bus.
Please note that your spring baton will not come with instructions, so I shall tell you how to use it here: 1.) Grasp the handle and draw it from pocket or parcel; 2.) Swing your wee li'l fist so it crosses in front of adverary's ugly mug -- baton should extend instantly, connecting with adverary's jaw or cheekbone; 3.) Briskly swing baton to and fro in a fanlike motion, as hard as you can, connecting with head, trunk, and limbs; 4.) Repeat step 3, as required to effect incapacitation or escape; 5.) Firmly tap weighted tip directly into hard surface, collapsing baton into handle.
This device is a pain generator rather than a bone breaker, a scourge rather than a bludgeon. Unlike the heavy lead impact zone of a blackjack, the weighted tip of a spring baton is merely a lightweight aluminum button which might chip a tooth, but certainly won't shatter a mandible. Your boots would inflict significantly more damage. However, the psychological edge of being "armed", combined with the knowledge that there is no risk of accidentally killing or crippling your adversary, allows one to deliver an effective and guilt-free a**-whuppin! Great for repelling punks, junkies, trolls, and assorted lightweight vermin who might accost you on the street after sundown. Just don't pull it on a paratrooper, biker, ex-con, or speed freak . . . it'd just piss 'em off.
 Was this for real? January 26, 2007

I bought this collaspsible "baton" for my wife thinking that she may find it handy warding off an unfriendly dog or somesuch on her frequent walks about town. When I opened the box upon its arrival, I was in for a rude reality slap-in-the-face. This "baton" as it turned out, is much more like a large, collapsible, spring door-stopper than a self-defence weapon. In fact, if one were actually to use this thing against something like an angry dog, not only would one end up with dog bites, one would probably get whacked a few times by one's own "baton" bouncing off the dog and springing back at one with a fury. This thing, that is, "baton," could be fairly dangerous, only not to anyone but the person wielding it.

Realize first off that this baton is manufactured with a spring-like material, not solid metal like a large majority of baton are made of. It still perform as a baton is intended to, but in my opinion, should not be used by a person that does not have previous experience with baton class self-defense weapons. Otherwise, it is a good product with an above average price.

The batton expands very well, even though I'm not sure if a spring batton will stop an attack or if the spring hit will just pieced off a little bit more the enemy.
If the batton is not properly expanded, it will easily retract we you need it expanded.
