Hike ‘n Strike 950,000 Volts Stun Gun with Flashlight & Stun Device

The Hike n Strike does exactly what it says it does, and quite well. This is an edit of my initial review; I originally gave it four stars because I thought that--even extended to its maximum length--it was too short to use it like a walking stick. For the first couple of months I had it, I thought I'd extended it as far as it would go, and it was still 8 or 9 inches too short, so I had to use it like a cane. But one night, while I was walking my dog, the pointy bottom of the stick got stuck for a second in a crack in the sidewalk, and--as I pulled it out--the stick grew longer, revealing a telescopic joint I hadn't previously noticed! Now, it's long enough for me (I'm 6'0"), with a bit to spare.I haven't truly used the stun gun yet, because, thankfully, I haven't had to. I live in a small town in southeast Louisiana, and there are folks in my neighborhood who have a pretty relaxed attitude about keeping their dogs from roaming the streets. My dog is a big Great Pyrenees/St. Bernard mix who tends to be aggressive with other dogs, so after she and I were attacked on a walk by a Pitbull (I was bitten, and she nearly killed the Pitbull), I decided to start carrying something for protection. During the time I've had it, I've had to turn on the power switch a few times, but I've found that simply keying the stun gun before the attacking dog gets within a few feet creates a distinctive, loud zapping sound that really freaks dogs out; every time I've done it, the other dog has run off. Heck, sometimes, simply shining the flashlight in their eyes does the trick.My only disappointment is that it didn't come with an extra rubber tip for the sharp end. There were two rubber caps provided for the top, but I lost the one on the bottom of the stick.

I love that this looks like a regular hiking stick so I'm not coming across to others as a scary person. Also love the zap noise it makes...perfect for scaring off aggressive uncontrolled dogs!

This is good for anyone who walks alone, lives in more rural area and needs a little assistance sometimes. The taser is loud and scares off animals and the light at the end is really good to see when it gets dark.

It’s ok, But the cap that covers the 4 prongs moves as you walk as it close proximity to hand grip and must make sure stay in place too much. Please make sure it’s turned off

My wife really likes this walking stick because of its solid build abd its lite. The taser's sound gets one's attention and would deliver a wicked shock.

This was poorly assembled. It has the circuit board broken off in the package. Cheap plastic parts.

This is a wonderful product and I’m very satisfied.

I purchased this for my wife to take on her neighborhood walks as an extra level of protection. The stun gun works well and has put her very much at ease when walking alone.Came packaged in a crimped blister pack so opening it up wasn't much fun.
