The Gear Stock 12-inch Steel Expandable Baton is an ideal everyday carry self-defense tool. At just 5.25 inches when closed, it's compact enough to clip on your keyring or store in a pocket for ready access. A slight flick of the wrist expands the baton to 12 inches and holds it in place with friction locks.

Pro tip:
The “rapid response strike” is a baton technique used by law enforcement to decrease the time between extending a baton and striking with it. The baton is swung in a 45° arc with a full extension of the arm, opening the baton while en route to its target.
