Streetwise 4 Foot Expandable Bo Staff

A telescopic steel cylinder is one of the most versatile self defense weapons. A telescopic baton extends out, thus allowing the user to be a lot closer to his or her assailant without having to be in direct contact with the weapon. To retract the cylinder, just strike the end on a hard object. The telescoping sections will then slide back in to one another easily to bring the cylinder back to its original form and size.

When choosing between a two handed baton and a telescopic steel baton there are many factors that should be taken into consideration. First of all, where will the attacker be carrying it? If you plan to carry it around with you all the time, you should go with a lighter weight batons. However, if you just need to have it at your disposal in an emergency, a medium or heavy duty batons will serve your purposes just as well. Also, how will you be storing the weapon?

The average size of telescopic steel batons is twenty-four inches long. Most models are also between ten and sixteen inches in length. Some models may even be longer, but shorter ones are generally considered safer to carry around due to the lack of large gaps between the barbs. Many of the smaller batons are also between three and five inches in length.

The telescopic steel batons are available in several different models. For example, there are models designed for use against a single target such as an attacker who attacks you from behind. They have a thin non-lethal handle which allows you to quickly grab the hand of the would-be attacker and turn the situation in your favor. Some models however have a larger trigger guard with a rubberized grip, which allows the user to quickly attack multiple attackers, especially if you happen to know one of them is armed.

Other models available include those that are designed to deal with larger weapons such as firearms. Even though police batons are commonly used by law enforcement personnel in their line of duty, they can also be purchased for personal use. This means that the average citizen has the ability to purchase one of these flexible metal pieces for self-defense at any time. It is important though that you get a quality telescopic steel baton that meets the needs of your intended use.

A heavy duty baton which is made out of heavy gauge stainless steel is ideal for dealing with difficult criminals. Some of the best models also come with a locking handle allowing you to keep the weapon close to your body even while wearing a security guard uniform. The locking mechanism on the handle prevents the attacker from simply kicking the handle open if he gets the chance. A good quality retractable steel telescopic steel baton will allow you to easily repel an attacker long enough to get away.
