Self Protection Items for under $20.00(for your person, your car or home)

Defense WrenchFollowing the success of the Impact Kerambit, Kelly Warden has

designed a more pocket-friendly self-defense tool, the Defense

Wrench key tote. This device offers three distinct defensive impact

striking surfaces engineered to generate maximum power with

minimal effort. When properly utilized, defensive strikes, locks, and

control tactics can be easily implemented. The Defense Wrench can

be used as a key tote and offers actual hex-head socket holes within

the body of the tool for 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", and 7/16" nut removing

capabilities. Color: black. Overall length: 5". Weight: 1.2 oz. Made

from high impact injection molded composite.

This is a great option for the car or to carry in your jacket or pants

pocket. Believe me that you don’t want to get hit with this!! Keep it

close by your side (the side farthest from you attacker) before you

strike. The only drawback may be that there is no case or clip. $9.00  

Executive Ice ScraperMeasuring 2- 5/8 inches wide, 3-1/2 inches long, and 3/8 inch thick this ice scraper easily removes ice from your car windshield or windows. It can also serve as a self-defense weapon. Weighs only one ounce and attaches to your keychain. CAUTION: Under no circumstances should you ever strike someone with this ice scraper. It could cause considerable damage!

This is perfect for carrying in the car this little item will cut someone quick! To hide this before your strike simply bring both hands up to almost chest height with your weak hand open and in front of your rear hand (weapon hand) throw your lead hand jab with an open palm to obscure their view or palm strike them and then let them have it with the rear hand. $5.95

Cold Steel Sharkie PenThe Cold Steel Sharkie Pen is the biggest, baddest, permanent marker around! Superficially, the Cold Steel Sharkie pen shares many features common to most markers, but appearances can be deceptive. For starters, it's made from the glass-reinforced plastic, Grivory, the same tough material used in the Cold Steel Nightshade series, and features walls that are 4 times thicker than similar markers. This means it's built for impact and, in a self-defense emergency it can become an efficient Yawara stick for driving off an attacker. Plus, the screw-top cap will stay in place and won't pop off like a regular marker's cap would when you strike a percussion blow, or when obtaining joint locks or submission holds. It's easy to carry too. Just clip it to a shirt or coat pocket, or carry in your purse, pack or brief case. Don't spend another day without one! Specifications: Thickness: 7/8 inch, Overall: 6 1/4 inch. Material: Grivory w/Felt Tip Pen.

While this marker is quite large it fits into your pocket without much problem. When using a weapon try to keep it concealed from your attacker if you feel that the attacker is looking at the hand that has the weapon in it, strike first with your other hand/head/foot. On the ground weapons like this are often not really talked about. Jabbing the repeatedly in the eyes or face is sure to be a fight stopper. $5.50

Comtech StingerThe Stinger is an intuitive self defense tool that can multiply the effectiveness of any strike that you throw. Karate and Martial Arts practitioners will love this device because it is devastatingly effective. The Stinger also doubles as an acupressure tool.

This is should be called The Fu**er Upper. This weapon is hard to see in your hand and it will be that much more surprising when someone gets hit. $8.95

Stylus Size KubatonThis is the brand new stylus sized kubaton. It is 3/8 inches diameter x 6inches long and it is made of the same incredibly tough, specially blended reinforced polymer as all our other tools. We took a 1/2 inch sheet of plywood and hammered this stylus kubaton through it. It went through it like a 16 penny nail. It didn't even leave a mark on the kubaton. Each Kubaton Stylus comes with a high quality plated pen clip attached. This looks just like a pen and clips onto your shirt perfectly. $6.99

The Crook Hook is a covert tool that looks to the untrained eye to

simply be a back-scratcher or some kind of coat hanger. However, to

those in the know, this device is a superb self-defense tool. The hook

portion does a fine job of traps, locks, and takedowns. The lower two

"balls" are great for blocks and strikes. Color: green. Length: 9".

Designed by Laci Szabo. For training video, see the Covert Impact

Weapons Training DVD.

While this is not a weapon you can carry on you realistically, this could easily be an option for

your car or house. This is very odd looking weapon which works in your favor anyone who

looks at this will think it is for hanging clothes on or something. $9.00  

The Impact Kerambit is an extremely low-profile device that looks to

the un-initiated to be simply an odd-looking L-shaped piece of plastic.

However, to the user, once you slip your index finger through the ring

and grasp it, you have a devastating self-defense device in your hand.

It can be taken anywhere since its real purpose is completely

unknown, which makes it ideal for air travel or areas in which guns or

knives are banned. The Kerambit's ring and the tip of the L-shaped

section are designed to put your wrist at its strongest natural angle.

You may strike full force against any part of your attacker's body,

even bone, without fear of hurting your knuckles or wrist. The bottom

edge provides for full-force backhanded blows and is also a great

blocking tool that will in the process of blocking can also disable the

offending limb. Due to its unique design, you need never let go of the

Kerambit, even when grasping, pulling, or controlling your attacker.

On today's streets, you can't afford to be without one of these.

Constructed of lightweight indestructible plastic. Sized to fit in a

pocket, or can be carried in a special holster. Color: black. A Trainer

unit, a soft injection molded rubber version designed for training use

which will not cause excessive pain to your training partner, is also

offered. Also available is a pocket/belt clip which solves the problem

of where to carry your Impact Kerambit. It allows for fast deployment

from the belt, waistband, or pocket. The Impact Kerambit Training

Manual (2003, 68 pages) and a companion DVD (2003, 35 minutes)

are also available.

This device does have a dual purpose (wrench) and a holster. This

weapon is easy to conceal due to its shape just by keeping it close by

your side (the side farthest from you attacker) before you strike and

by then it is too late.

Stanley Quickslide Pocket Utility Knife with one handed operation.A perfect utility knife with a million uses. You can also use it as a fist loader. When using a knife like this there are only two schools of thought worth mentioning, The first one is simply slash their face to ribbons, the other is if you find yourself in a bad position and you have to draw the weapon mid-fight cut the just above or below joints that is where you are more likely to cut tendons especially the Achilles, or the tendons in the arms to make a safe get away no matter how tough your opponent may be your limbs will not function without use of tendons and muscles. $13.29

Wris t- Braced Sling shot folds down to compact size. The FS Series sling shots have an ammo storage chamber inside the handle. If needed, the wrist-brace can be easily removed from the handle, and reinstalled later. Removing the brace turns the FS-1 into a non wrist-braced, slingshot.

It's unique bottom valve "flips"open, to dispense SA30 5/16", SA375 3/8" or SA50 1/2" ammo.

You could also stun them and follow up with an impact or cutting weapon. $12.95

Thick gauge wire coat hanger.

Remember, never shoot steel BBs at metal objects! Max Velocity: 480 ft/sec !!!!!! Crosman's manual for this gun states that it holds 18 shots.

There are many weapons that you can use in your home for self protection that you already own a hammer, screw driver, knives, a large wrench, tire iron, ax, ax handle, or any number of things for that matter. What is a little more difficult to carry and not be prosecuted or sued for using is a knife or gun. If you have to use one expect to be prosecuted or sued. You might be able to stab someone in self defense and not be sued but you very easily could it really depends on who your attacker’s lawyer is. If you have a weapon that has another purpose than killing or maiming someone you are might be less likely to lose a lawsuit simply because you had another reason for having the weapon that was used. Weapons that you carry should have dual purposes only because you are looked at with less suspicion by the police if you are forced to use them in an altercation. You can strike preemptively as long as you believe that your life or someone else’s in is danger. You cannot continue to hit them after the cease to pose a threat. In court they will look at any training you have had, your size his/her size, motive, ability, and race among other things when you get sued buy the crook who tried to assault or rob you for hurting him too badly. What really matters is how good your lawyer is. Check with a lawyer in your area for state law specifics.

Weapons are always better than no weapons!There is no reason for empty hand combat if you have a weapon!If you are forced to fight without a weapon your purpose should be to get to a weapon as soon as possible if possible!If you have a weapon keep it concealed until you are going to use it. Keep something in front of your weapon obscuring it from yoviewThe same principal applies if you are unarmed. Do not let your intentions be known until you attack.
