S&W Expandable Baton For Self Defense – Simple and Effective
Expandable baton, tactical baton, collapsible baton – whatever you call them, they are an effective self defense tool almost anybody can use. Basically, just a modern version of the caveman club. In this video we look at 3 baton options from Smith and Wesson and talk about why I think they are a great idea as a backup or less than lethal weapon.

But will it strike a ferro rod? :-P. I've actually been eyeballing those both for the vehicles and for my wife. You handled these well my friend, thanks!
Wait! Did you forget to give the centimeter sizes? hahaha I'm just messing around. I've had training in the Martial Arts with arnis/escrima sticks and batons. They are very useful, but you have to make sure it's legal where you live. You should see mine coiled or spring like baton. It doesn't have a shaft, it will bend like and closed spring with a knob on the end. Ouch. A test that I usually use it to hit it on a tree and see if the shafts bends. I don't hit as hard as I can and I find a tree that is about as wide as a body. Good video.
I got the wife the 24" model for her to take on her daily walks. She has already had to introduce it to an aggressive dog. Needless to say said dog has not bothered her again. Great investment and plenty extension to reach out and touch someone.
love self defense weapons. I've had formal training on many close quarters. the iidea that you don't have weapon makes you defenseless is not accurate. they do create another variable to be used against you.
this really upsets me. if some criminal can buy a gun on the streets.. why can't we buy a compact STICK! in Maryland ( where I live) it's legal to carry one " without the intent to harm". as an engineer I use mine to test smoke detectors and get objects just out of reach. I could so way more harm with my hammer in most cases, but that's TOTALLY LEGAL…
One add-on I'd strongly suggest is a heavy duty (paracord) wrist lanyard so that the baton cannot be ripped out of the defenders hand. Like any weapon the more you practice with it the more sure you'll be of getting home safe unlike the attacker. If your in an area where you can be easily attacked, at all times carry the baton in your hand. An attack is usually sudden and violent, you do not have time to screw around with a pouch. If in your province or state the law forbids a collapsible baton buy a 1 1/2' piece of hardwood or a broom handle, drill a hole for the wrist lanyard. And voila a weapon that is literally as effective on sharks as it is on human scumbags. I do suggest the longest baton you can wield, you can strike at a longer distance, the force of a longer swing can severely cripple the attacker and your choice of area to attack is better and more sure. One of the best areas to strike is the bridge of the nose, it will tear the eyes and produce a good flow of blood so that if the person get away there will likely be some of his blood on the ground for a DNA test. Also with a strong long swing from your side over your shoulder to the clavicle will cause the attacker to drop to that side, allowing for another strategic strike or successful escape. Personally I'd finish the sob off and let the cops take it from there. Also with a longer baton there is much more maneuverability and choice of defense and offensive moves. Practice makes perfect and that brings you home safe and sound. BTW: if pepper spray is illegal in your area, then almost any aerosol spray will sting the eyes of an attacker. Any mini sized can like WD40, and whatever else you might find.

How strong are these batons? I have seen some that bent just from striking a 2 liter bottle of water. You did not show them in action.
A tactical baton in untrained hands is just as dangerous for the user.
How can u find out if they are legal in your area?
Be careful of that skunk at 7:11!
Not legal in ma.
if these are illegal hammers are legal anywhere.

I'm surprised you didn't check the balance and rotation of the batons.😋
I have one and have deployed it but never had to actually use it. They make a great deterrent
It's not legal to defend yourself in Norway.

used to carry a cheap one until it broke. makes me wonder what the legality of those flashlight tire thumper bats is… anyone ever tested one?
