best tested!

Hello There,
in connection with this (certainly very effective) product is drawn to the need to test it before using in person. Many videos (youtube) to pepper spray vividly reveal its effectiveness, but they show little about other important issues. It runs (at least) to acquire two sprays inevitably to the Council also. However, this is at the moderate price certainly not a waste of money!

This can even once the test range (about 3 meters) and as this is the personal handling of the sprays.
You have to realize that the spray though 3m far enough that at this distance to take the chance but of course lower than at close range. Compared to spray this spray has a very narrow beam, which you have to get first to the finish (head / eye).

Well, one might say: Ok, if it reaches three meters, then I spray just as long until I've met my goal; However, here the second factor comes into play, the not to be missed once experienced, namely the amount present / spraying. Surely enough, but it is also much faster than you think empty (3 seconds are really quickly, because it is said to be frugal or hit the mark.)

The protection mechanism of the cap (a piece of plastic that breaks through) and the width of one's own thumb are interesting addition in relation to the bulge in the actual spray head is.

My personal experience this: quickly pull during the self test (spray from his pocket and immediately spray on 3m distant tree, happens: nothing gets caught plastic part and a mere 10 cm beam exits because not enough pressure on eigentlichem spray head (One can only imagine!. what's can happen in "real life", when one makes this experience for the first time in an emergency situation). For safety, it probably makes more sense the plastic piece UP break away every now and then just to push the actual spray head, take it down break through
People with wide Daumem might have difficulties in reaching the spray head at all, even when the plastic breaks as intended.
Whether your ladies to hear? Try is my advice!

All this can not be blamed umbedingt the product, but simply lack experience with it.
My conclusion, I'm going to have a few of them down and practice the handling until I not only safe thus feel safe but also by BIN. Comments like "calms the nerves, alone already because it in itself has" may indeed be entirely accurate, but unfortunately only half the story.
