Has any customer actually used one against a human attacker? How did it work for you?

Vincent, I have not used this particular device that I purchased for my wife, but I have used OC spray against human attackers. I am retired law enforcement and work executive protection now, and a past instructor of OC spray. Follow the instructions. One second spray to the face and eyes works. Do not get caught up in the moment and empty your container. And by all means, do not stick around and see the effects. I hope that this helps. Remain safe and diligent.

You cannot use both at the same time, that is the one drawback. I wish I'd done more research. BUT for the price you won't find a better product. Another thing is that is only going to stun your assailant, not going to drop him or disable him. This is more of a novelty to prank friends

Hi Joe , to answer your question honestly I have not had to put in on someone but it sure sounds and looks vicious!! To Put it another way my friends and I bought 5 of these and my husband and his brother said they would let us use them on them . After receiving the police pink stun guns in the mail ...THE MEN BOTH CHANGED THEIR MINDS real FAST .!!!!

I have never had this problem and I have whacked the balls against one another as well as myself countless times LOL. I've had mine for quite some time now, use them regularly, and have had no problems whatsoever. I would try to contact the seller if I were having those issues.

YES,YES AND YES! I have one if these and had I not had it...my dogs would be dead!Have used it several times and it works. Do not be afraid to use it. Police were called each time my dog was attacked by Pitts. They told me to keep using it.Anyone who walks their dog and doesn't carry protection is going to wish they had if your dog is attacked.CindyNorolk, Va.

There is a beep/tone warning button and then a button to stimulate/shock them. It has not been effective for us. You have to keep reactivating it. Although it is waterproof. Doesn't seem to work when we want it to. We have a PetSafe invisible fence system that works excellent for our yard. We wanted something to operate manually when we go to our land. And this has not been helpful.

The don't really hurt except for an occasional light burn. But stun guns and tazers work by overloading the muscles with electrical information, the person's muscles begin rapidly contracting and releasing making it impossible to stand or continue an attack. But then again, if you are forced to use this against someone attacking you, do you you really care if they areally in temporary pain?

I have NOOOO idea... I just know that this sucker would hurt if you stuck it to someone. It scares me everytime I try it out. Sorry I don't have the answer, maybe the company that makes them would?

I have not tried it. There is much online discussion about VoIP phone service being unreliable with security systems.

Honestly, I haven't had to defend myself with it, but it feels like you could really mess up an attacker with it. It's really sturdy and with limited practice I'm able to present it quickly. I read a ton of reviews of different knives before purchasing and this one has the best and after buying it, I'll say it does not disappoint. I carry it with me all the time. I can even clip it on to my pajama pants pocket when walking out to get the mail or visit a neighbor across the street (always looking out for random dogs or suspicious pedestrians.) It really is comforting. I highly recommend it as do tons of other people. Go for it man! It's so low-priced too!

It works for me. When my parents dog yapps at me, I blow this thing and that little bugger almost jumps back. I keep my hand on the whistle and I've even held the whistle up to my lips when we have those situations. It sometimes takes a couple sustained blows, on the highest setting (I don't mess around), and that yapper shuts up. You must only use it when the dog barks. If you use it at any other time, your going to confuse the animal and this whistle does hurt...so don't let anyone use it for any other purpose and certainly, don't use it unless it is truly required. (That would board abuse). If used properly, its very useful.

Sorry,I just bought these sprays for my self defense...and I've never used these yet.That's why I have no idea...and I'd like to know how it works,too.

Yes deffinently, but I've never actually tested it. As a club no, but if you're worried about dog attack get a "pet convincer 2" I have tested this on lots of dogs. Can't hurt them but it has scared everyone of them. Just used to stop a big Lab from attacking my mini schnauzer . He had him in his mouth, sprayed him and he ran away. Then he came back but when I sprayed again he ran away before he got to close to attack.

I can't answer this because I have not tried it on myself, but I do know that there is a lot of information supporting the use of tasers. It is a close in weapon that doubles as a flashlight meaning that if your using it while walking at night at someone grabs you you'll be able to easily use it to discourage him. Tasers knock people down, but the question is how long before he gets back up and that varies from person to person. However, once down you can keep jolting him to keep him down while dialing 911. I wouldn't suggest running unless safety is close by. I think you're safer to keep him on the ground than to let him get up again. It would also be helpful to carry other deterrents like pepper-spray. What I can tell you that it has a wicked sound which may be good enough to discourage the would-be attacker.

I have used this for mostly stick fighting. However, I have done some sparring and contact training with it and it will take a good kick or punch. It offers pretty good protection. Hope this helps!!!

I think it would be considered malicious use of a dangerous weapon on a fairly defenseless animal and you would be arrested for animal abuse. If you feel you need a stun gun to protect you from roosters then your medication dosage may need to be adjusted. As for the equipment, I turned it over to a Fed friend who took one look at it and laughed. For you who are looking for self defense against HUMANS, don't waste your money.

LOL. Nothing is foolproof. The Jawhorse instructions warn users how to avoid getting "kicked". You shouldn't have used the Jawhorse without knowing how.
