SABRE Pepper Spray Keychain with Quick Release for Easy Access – Max Police Strength OC Spray, Finger Grip for Accurate Aim, 10-Foot (3M) Range, 25 Bursts (5X Other Brands)

I ordered this stuff for my wife, as we have a new neighbor in the area we live in who is really being over friendly toward her. Unfortunately he will not approach her when i am around, so i made the investment. To help her gain some confidence in her device, i let her test it on me…
Do not do as i did.

To give you some background, i am a career military soldier, with 4 deployments to iraq. After my last tour i took a job as a bodyguard. I am also a patron of concerts and clubs. Suffice it to say i’ve been exposed to some of the best crowd control in the business.
You have about 5 to 10 seconds of coherance (barely) after contact, and after that, your only concern is pain. Even with my prior experiance, i was completely incapacitated. If i were an earnest attacker, this would deter my attack immediately. My wife is not a trained combatant, and she hit me with a glancing spray across my cheek and that was enough to stop me. (ideally one would draw a line from ear to ear for max. Effect)
there is no quick cure for the pain, as is the case with most oc sprays. Even with the coolit spray which is intended to reduce the effects, you are still out of action for at least 30 minutes.

Some tips when using this product.
-test your product when you open it!!! There is a 1 in 5000 chance that your device may be defective. Go outside and spray a few lines downwind just to be sure it will not fail you in that critical moment.
-after you spray someone, leave the area immediately. If you stay, your assailant may go into a rage which not even oc spray can stop. If you decide to take the fight to the attacker, then you risk losing your right to self defense and crossing over to getting an assault charge. Just go. When you are safely gone, call the police and inform them of the situation. This is very important
-aftercare is critical. After you spray someone, you must call an ambulance. If your attacker or anyone who may have been caught up in the spray as well is asthmatic or has allergies you could wind up killing them. That is grounds for a manslaughter charge at least.
-if you spray yourself, that really sucks. There is no quick fix. Find a safe location and wait it out. Use soap and water to rinse yourself repeatedly and allow air to get to the affected area. Expect to be out of action for an hour. Under no circumstances should you allow this stuff to come in contact with your hands. Your hands are the primary means for spreading contamination, and if you spray your pocket, and then scratch your head, you will know. Also, go ahead and trash those clothes you were wearing, this stuff can contaminate an entire load of laundry.

Hopefully you will never have to use this stuff on anybody. It is truely hell. The best defense is paying attention to what you are doing, the way you are presenting yourself, and avoiding uneasy situations.

While i have not had to use this yet, i can say that i do appreciate the locking feature to prevent it accidentally spraying if i were to accidentally hit it while attached to my keys. The case is comfortable with an easy to hold grip including finger grooves, and the quick release key-ring makes for an easy access to pull it off of your keychain without removing keys from the ignition should a situation arise while at the wheel.

Sabre is one of the most reputable companies when it comes to pepper spray and this being one of their more popular items is a well proven item in its industry. You can easily research the item on youtube/google for more information, but with my word alone i do think this is a worthwhile purchase even if just for peace of mind.

I’m just writing this review because i was assaulted last night by my roommate and was fortunate enough to have the sabre spray on hand. I was feeling very threatened and so kept my hand on the trigger as he threatened and shouted, and when he attacked me all it took was two quick sprays and he was completely incapacitated. He couldn’t inflict any damage on me even though he is a bodybuilder and much bigger than me. The only problem is that when i sprayed it he was tackling me and so some of the spray hit me. I was probably hit with only 10% of the spray but i can tell you it was terrible. It was so powerful that the cops couldn’t stay in the house for long because of the residual in the air. So maybe next time i’ll practice shooting it more. In sum, the sabre spray saved me from definite injury and i cannot be more satisfied with this product. I will feel much safer now holding it.

I was reluctant about this easy access feature but it’s honestly great! I know that i can detach it in a second is awesome! I don’t have to take my keys out of my ignition if something happens when driving. Or at a stop light. I work nights so when i walk to my car nobody is around. It’s a super cute color. I ordered the lilac color and it’s adorable as well as a great peace of mind.

I have never needed pepper spray anywhere i lived. I live on the outskirts of a small city. I walk alot around her (well, used to.. But it is not that safe anymore). I drive thru the city and it is homeless central. I drive down my street and there is a homeless guy walking up to my home. (i’m not saying all homeless people are violent – but..) i feel safer, as a woman, going shopping, walking, and even opening my slider at night. I am sad about the state of things.

I’ve never carried pepper spray before but this one seems super easy to use and i love that the bright color makes it easy to find in my bag in case of an emergency.

Works as intended. Had a stray dog that was attacking my dogs on our walk. Hit it with a dose of this and worked perfectly. But the range is only about 6-8ft max. Might work further on people idk.

This device needs to be tested before relying on the safety. However, i’m hesitate to try it out in case the wind aims it at me. Not a defect in the product, just me being a scarry cat?!

I love this pepper spray. It’s perfectly designed so that you can just hold it in your hand when you’re walking to your car. The spray part is just a quick little slide to use (i haven’t used it yet, but it seems like it’ll be easy when the time comes). I’ve had other pepper sprays and none were as easily accessible as this one

I’ve had mine for about 5 months now, i got it when i was going to the laundry mat late at night, never have had to use it thank god but it’s not to heavy for my key cain and i love it!

I have been carrying various brands of pepper sprays for a while now. I lived in a very crowded urban area and there were enough times in my life where i wish i had it, and didn’t. A couple years ago, i picked some up at a local store. Since then, i’ve had to use it. Twice.

I gave this product a four because there is no substitute for being aware of your surroundings and having knowledge of how to respond or react to any situation that may come your way. There is no end all be all product when trying to ensure your safety. But this certainly helps.

I was pickpocketed for my cell phone, and before i could turn to confront the man, i had already been struck in the face and pummelled to the ground. I let off a four second burst directly into his eye nose and face area from my position on the ground, around his back and over his shoulder. He made it four blocks away before he began to feel effects and i was able to catch up to him and retrieve my cell phone. I had the spray concealed in my hand prior to the incident, because i always kept it ready while walking at night ‘just in case.’

i have heard many mentions of the sabre line of products. So after doing some research i decided to give this brand a shot next. Having said that and giving mention of my own personal experience carrying and wielding pepper spray, i will now come to a few points i would like to make on my observations of this product.

The clip requires two bands to operate. The clip is great for car keys and such, but not for me. I don’t drive and i prefer to wear mine on my hip. In the situation i was in, if my spray wasn’t in my hand, i would not have had two hands available to work the clip properly to access my spray. I tested the clip a few times. It won’t break. Very solid actually. So, i don’t use it. I use a chain that allows my spray to hang visibly from my hip on my dominant side that if i were to yank firmly at the cannister, the can would break free and be in my hand ready to use. This operation can be applied with one hand in a critical situation.

The aforementioned spray took effect eventually, but still allowed to the assailant to run four blocks first. In that situation i had sprayed myself quite a bit as well, due to the angle/position i found myself in. When i primed the sabre spray i purposely exposed myself to it about the same amount as before, and i must say this mix is definitely stronger and more potent. I don’t ever expect pepper spray to put down an attacker, however this stuff i am confident will certainly stun someone, giving you some extra seconds to remove yourself from the situation. This recipe is of a much better quality than whatever generic brand i had used last time. The assailant on the receiving end of this spray is definitely going to feel it.

The hard case’s grip took me a little getting used to after using a naked cannister for so long, but it didn’t take long. A little practice and i became familiar with it. It is actually very comfortable and smooth. The lock isn’t as tight as i’d like it to be, but as i don’t usually carry this in my pocket that wasn’t too important a feature to me. I’m fairly certain it wouldn’t accidentally discharge in a purse or jacket pocket, though. Speaking on the case, it definitely looks like pepper spray. When wearing it in a visible place, like clipped to your belt or on a purse or backpack, it can be a added deterrent for someone looking for a potential victim. Just the presence of the can may make someone decide bothering you may not be worth the effort involved.

The spray shoots a solid ten feet in a solid stream. It is red in color, but this model does not have uv dye. I prefer no uv dye. That’s my personal preference and i have my reasons for it. I’m happy sabre makes a product that is straight pepper spray such as this one. Stronger formula than other sprays i’ve encountered, therefore i trust it a little bit more to do a little better job.

Last, i’ll speak on the price. I have purchased two of these, one for myself, and one for my wife. She likes the pink one, which i agree with because it is more visible, anyway. I live in the woods now, and bears/dogs etc. Have become the new threat. I don’t know how effective this would be on a bear. I honestly think it would just p*** him off. But my wife and her family insist it is better to have it if you really were being attacked by a bear, and they have lived up here a lot longer than i have, so i trust their opinions. But i digress. For twenty dollars, my wife and i both now have a can, and knowing that her and i have one within reach gives me a peace of mind that is worth so much more to me than twenty dollars.

I hope i never have to use it, but if i do, i’ll be sure to update this review and fill you in on my experience!

Ten dollars or less to stay safe is a good investment. I hope this review has been helpful to someone thinking about purchasing this product. Thanks!

*update!* this is a self-propelled formula. Shaking of the can etc., may be contributing to the various problems previous customers have had with leaking cannisters! I don’t shake my can around, and have carried it topside down on my hip for a while now with no leaking problems at all.

Lightweight and the flashlight option is awesome. Small size can be easily held. Although i haven’t tazed myself it seems very powerful and it’s just as loud as a normal stun gun.

Bought this pack because it is a 2 pack pepper spray (one for me and my girlfriend). There’s been an increase of attacks and robberies in la since the start of the pandemic. This is a great alternative to purchasing something lethal. Easy to hold and use. I recommend this item. It provides you with an extra layer of protection.

So i got this for protection while we wrap up the eviction notice for my crazy house mate. Unfortunately when he got the 3 days notice to vacate he went nuts.

He attacked me & my other house mate. We called the police as we locked ourselves in my room. Our crazy house mate began kicking the door trying to break it down.

Unfortunately he got through. I tried to mace him but it didn’t work at first & he ended up stabbing me in the side with a kitchen knife. As i fought with him, my other house mate picked up the mace & successfuly maced him. Though it did affect both of us.

My crazy house mate let go of the knife as he covered his eyes in pain. He then ran out the room to the bathroom to wash off the mace.

That’s when we took the chance & ran out of the house where we ran into the police.

I’m okay now but still hurting & shooken up. I suffered from a stab wound along with a broken eye socket. My good house got hit a few times but it otherwise okay.

This sabre pepper spray gives me peace of mind and helps me feel safer walking around the neighborhood. I love it so much that i’m going to get another. And if you’re wondering if it actually works it does. When i was testing it like you’re supposed to do when you first get the product i accidentally got a little bit in my nose. My nose burned for a good 30 minutes afterwards. Would recommend for anyone who goes places by themselves. Only downside after a spray the device might drip a little bit but you can fix that with a paper towel.

For this order i only received one of the peppers spray. There was one missing.

Haven’t had to use this yet …i ride the septa in philly….small, compact …hopefully if i never have to use it !

It did work but it ran out of spray after i tested it like 4 times.

This is small and easy to carry but i worry that the lock on it will unlock and cause it to accidentally spray in my purse or pocket since the lock slides over so easy.

The pepper spray is great and it sprays well, the only downside is that the lock feature slide bar is a little loose when locking and unlocking the product. Luckily it takes a bit of a hard push for it to come out! Other than that i love it.
