Mace 2-in-1 Rechargeable Stun Gun for Self Defense - High Voltage Electric Power, Bright LED Light, Easy to Use Safety Switch, Personal Protection Self Defense for Women & Men

I assume this is worth 5 stars but I have never used it on anyone to know the degree of effectiveness. I carry it when I go out for a stroll with my walker. As a senior citizen I just feel safer carrying defense; I also carry a nice big vial of pepper spray. If I go down, it'll be spraying and zapping. Also may work on loose dogs. So far I have never used either the pepper spray or zapper. What I LIKE: It plugs in easy to the wall socket for recharging. The plug-prongs retract after removing from wall so not in the way. It stays charged for a long time but I don't know exactly how long-a few weeks is my guess. I charge it about every 2 weeks; when I charge it, it is still loaded and has not exhausted its spark. I fire it to make sure it is alive, it crackles and a very short streak of lightning comes out. I keep it on my nightstand when not on a walk along with the pepper spray. When walking alone and I hear one of those many 'funny' noises in the evening, I place one device in each hand and still guide the walker, really ready if something happens, rather than fishing for the devices after-the-fact. Writing this makes me see how defensive I am. What I DO NOT LIKE: Made in China.

Fits in your hand perfect. Love that you can recharge. Great for women who travel alone.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I’m giving this five starts because it’s quality is amazing but I haven’t gotten the change to taze anyone yet:((( but I love it Value for money: Its good value for the money Build quality: It’s better Than the last one I had Safety: It has a case which is nice and then a button to switch it on so it won’t go off on ‘accident’ unless it is on Grip: My hand can grip it tightly and it fits perfect and comfortably and no matter which hand you have it on the power buttons will always be on your middle finger to taze someone

Will shock the poo out of a fool

My spouse is a city letter carrier for the USPS. She often covers for the rural department and travels in some sketchy areas, delivering to homes with dogs that are randomly loose, and people who seem unfriendly or nefarious. She asked for a stun gun, which i readily agreed to purchase for her. We tested it and this product has enough voltage to make a statement but not seriously harm an animal or person. It fits perfectly in her pocket and in her hand within the pocket. She hasn't had to use it on the job, and we hope she doesn't, but it provides a sense of protection she wouldn't otherwise have.

Sounds very scary..

Bought this for protection and like the shape as it's easier to hold than a rectangular shape one that I also have. This one feels more secure in your hand and simply flipping the switch with the thumb and pulling the trigger to zap someone is very intuitive and natural and not awkward like the rectangular one. The case is very sturdy but kind of hard to pull it out of as it's tight. I carry it without the case. I like the built in tongs that slide out to charge it by simply putting it in a outlet. When holding it, it feels very much that I won't drop it or accidentally mishandled it and that I would have no trouble using it if I'm put in that situation.

Straight up didn't work at all, Chinese made of the LOWEST QUALITY EVER SEEN (no exaggeration), definitely disappointed with it. Their idea?... Since it was my fault they sent me a crappie product, I had to pay $7.99 for my package to be picked up and returned or if I didn't want to pay they $7.99 I had to drive 20 miles each way to drop off the package at a UPS store at my own expense of fuel, time and a few overtime hours of leaving work early because UPS closes before I get off work and definitely doesn't open before I go to work at 4 am
