Expandable steel batons are becoming very popular as things seem to remain unsettled in travel these days. When looking for an option for the car or boat that can be stored away and not worry about heat or cold issues, nor having to keep a charged these batons fit the bill in all regards. They have actually become so popular that there are courses that you can take to become familiar with the use.
The baton collapsed is a very manageable size to carry or to store away in your automobile console. The length folds into the handle for carry purposes and will remain there until you swing the baton to force it open. Once opened it will friction lock open and feel like a solid rod of steel in your hand. It is so solidly open that to close it you must strike it in the downward onto the concrete or pavement to break the joints loose to store away into the handle again.
Choosing the best size for you.
Whether it is our smallest baton measuring 6 1/2 inches closed and expanding to 12 3/8 inches when opened, all the way up to our Police Force by Street Wise that measures 11 inches closed to 31 inches when open or the models that fall in between you have the choice to place protection at your reach for a very affordable price. On a walk or a drive, at home or in the work place, a steel baton can give the piece of mind that with a flick of the wrist you can head off a potentially bad situation at a distance.
Automatic open option.
We even have automatic open batons that do not friction lock for those that have issues with bending. These batons open with the push of a lever on the handle and spring to life to a length of 21 1/2 inches long. Then just simply push with your hand and close the baton and apply the safety on the lever to prevent accidental deployment and store away or return to your belt loop nylon holster that comes with your baton.
