Bought one and I love it. Bought another one for the wife, and she love it too.
Just to be clear here - you bought it for her, not to use it on her ...?

we can add itDarn I just placed an order for an ammo can yesterday and would have got a cane also if I knew they were in stock![]()
I thought tazers were a prohibited weapon.
It takes 2 to 5 seconds to "have effect" on your assailant? I don't know if anyone who bought one of these has ever been attacked by an "animal", but with the adrenaline rush and the primitive instinct in full force, the dog/raccoon/wildcat/"other" will rip your face off and open 4 of your arteries before it even feels your electric cane... that is, if you can even keep this Chinese electric cane pressed against your assailant that long while being mauled! Come on... get real!
It's a novelty item, that's all. Anyone or anything hell bent on injuring or killing you won't even feel it. Even police tasers (made by Taser International, not some Chi-com low volt knockoff) have been known to fail when it comes to immobilizing a target. That said, the cane is a good idea in theory, but definitely not a self defense tool in real life. A real attack is usually over in less than 5 seconds... because that's how long it will usually take for you to end up on your ass, bleeding.
If you need a walking stick and want something to ward off those pesky raccoons, errant dogs or (cough) other animals, Cold Steel makes something nice... they have a line of "walking sticks" that are guaranteed unbreakable, made from a similar polymer police batons are made of (albeit with a little more flex to them, police batons being completely rigid). The canes can take an extreme amount of abuse and, when used properly, can be a very effective pain inducer/immobilizer "on the spot"... those of you who had police baton training by Monadnock will know what I'm referring to.

Many thanks just got one..
if you decide to try it on yourself.....please...please.......make a video![]()
+1 on that
long story short, even with continued contact on skin, it will not disable anyone, it just hurts a bunch.
