The Sabre 500,000 volt Stun Baton measures 13 ¼ inches tall and offers a less-than-lethal, yet painful dose of electrical current. If the visual intimidation caused by the electrical current that flows from probe to probe is not enough of a deterrent, then perhaps the thunderous noise created from those same currents will issue a serious scare tactic to anyone foolish enough to challenge someone holding a Stun Baton. The baton does require a direct contact to the attacker’s torso area, but provides users with an on/off safety switch and separate activation trigger mechanism, operates on two 9V batteries and is equipped with a wrist strap and belt holsters and a two-year warranty.
