Steel Telescopic Baton with Foam Grip Defender
Function and Operation
The baton operates on a friction lock principle. A sharp flick of the wrist expands it to its full length of 53 cm (approx. 21 inches), causing the tubes to lock together via friction tapers. This gives you a solid bar to deflect attacks. To collapse the baton, you must release the friction lock by striking the tip vertically and firmly against a hard surface (e.g., concrete or stone). Never try to close it by pressing with your palm or against a soft surface.

History and Context
Expandable batons are the modern evolution of traditional police truncheons. Their main advantage is concealability—when closed, this model measures only 21 cm (8.3"), making it easy to carry discreetly. They became standard equipment for law enforcement worldwide in the late 20th century, allowing officers to keep their hands free while having an effective enforcement tool immediately available.
Maintenance and Safety
To ensure the baton serves you reliably, keep it clean and dry. Never oil the friction joints! Lubricant will prevent the tubes from locking open. Protect the foam handle from water and mechanical damage. Please verify the laws in your region regarding the ownership and carrying of offensive weapons. Use against people is only permissible in extreme self-defence situations. Strikes to the head, neck, or spine can cause serious injury or death.
