Product Description
Not a bad product. I prefer the jogger/student version by the same company. I do have this one on my key chain though for convenience. It's adequate that when I go to get my mail in the alley or if when I am walking down Main Street, someone I didn't like came at me too aggressively, it would stop them most likely. I mean if someone is really going to hurt you a personal alarm will not stop them but as far as personal alarms go, this one is perfectly sufficient to make an aggressive beggar/potential purse snatch pick another victim. Also it sounds crazy but if you have a personal alarm and pepper spray (legal in my state) on your key chain, they tend to pick someone else and they know what personal alarms look like. Frankly to me that it does look like a car alarm is not a plus. I would like it to be bright red and say PERSONAL ALARM. It does have my favorite feature which is the grenade pin activation so you can't accidentally set it off and you can't "forget" how too use it. The flash light is good enough to find a key hole. I don't know that's so bright that the light alone would scare off an attacker but you could shine it in their face and definitely be able to identify them which they don't like. The nice thing about personal alarms is there is nothing illegal about "misfiring" one like pepper spray or a stun gun. If someone scares you and you set it off, you have done nothing wrong in the eyes of the law. You have just made a scene. Nobody got hurt. I also like them because they cannot be used against you if you are too weak or scared to use the pepper spray or stun guns. Also, pepper spray pretty much requires getting within 5 feet of the person and absolutely no breeze. And stun guns require you to actually get within reach off the person. A personal alarm can be set off at any distance. I like them for women, teenagers and the handicapped. By teenagers, I mean those mature enough not to play with them. This is a decent brand. The company is good to deal with. I recommend them. Though as I said,I prefer the jogger one but I do carry this one and do not regret buying it.
