Acme Thunderer Whistle 60.5, Small, High, Loud, Metallic Silver

I have one of these whistles in/on each of my backpacks, hiking fanny pack, ski jackets. If in trouble, 3 blasts lets anyone within range know that you need help or are in trouble. Also great for coaching (sports, etc.). Loud, clear, reliable, built like a tank!! Really the standard for high quality!!

I've carried an Acme Metropolitan on my keychain for years. It's a handy little whistle for getting people's attention in a crowded environment because of its distinctive "bobby whistle" sound, but the range isn't that great, so I wanted something I could take hiking. I figured I'd try another Acme product, the Thunderer. It arrived in the mail and as I walked back from the mailbox, I opened the package, and gave the whistle a quick blow. I'm so glad I live out in the country because it startled me with how loud it was. The sound could have been heard for at least a mile away. I've had some cheap stamped metal coach's whistles in the past and this is just so much nicer. It's HEAVY, nice thick metal that just screams (literally) quality. It's expensive, but this is a whistle that's going to last you forever.

Feels super high quality and it's very loud. Nothing else to say, love this whistle

I have been trying to find a good whistle for Refereeing swim meets. I found that the cheap metal whistles have a bad taste and require too much air to be loud. We blow a lot of prolonged whistles and it tires you out using too much air. I got 3 whistles to compare and replace my cheapo whistles: The Acme Thunderer 60.5: Low airflow, loud without hurting my ears. Does not taste like metal. Classy look with a nice sound. This is my go-to whistle now. Fox 40 Classic Safety Whistle: Low airflow, loud and shrill. I prefer the Thunderer sound a bit more, this is my backup. Acme T2000 Tornado: High airflow, too loud and too shrill. You can't blow it softly, it only makes a sound when you blow hard.

Good size and comfortable mouthpiece. The couple times I tried it out it didn’t jam up but I haven’t really tried it with a sustained full throttle because it’s so loud and clear that it probably should come with a pack of ear plugs. Very happy with the quality so far. I have it on my key chain and it’s held up fine. Perfect for alerting the area that there are ill-intentioned folks around and definitely for those who want to be prepared if they need to suddenly notify those nearby that the area is getting attacked by the cold.🚨📢🧊

This is my third Acme Thunderer Whistle. I founded a non-profit that gives out free items like furniture, household essentials and adaptive equipment. I gave away my first two to somebody who had concerns about domestic violence and being visited when they shouldn't be. For number of years now I've been getting around with one cane, then two canes, now I have a walker as well as a stairlift in my home. When I'm out in public and if I have a fall and there's nobody nearby this whistle is absolutely perfect to someone help and I keep it with me at all times on my car's keychain. It works well, it's sturdy and it can wake the dead if needed. To me it's just another way to have security.

My child needed this for use as a drum major for band. It is loud and high pitched, which is the point! Don't blow the whistle full blast inside the house! It worked great to get a couple hundred teenagers' attention. Size and weight is exactly what you would expect for a whistle. These are pricier than I would want to pay, but his band director said to buy an Acme so they must be the best.

This whistle is extremely loud. If you need to grab attention, this is the whistle for you. Only downside is that it didn’t come with a land yard.

Very long but actual whistle is quite small

Thought it would be larger.

Excellent. Bought to replace 50year old acme thunderer I lost.

There is a reason why most officials use this whistle, it’s the best.

It's an excellent whistle.
