Lightning Rod Stun Pens

It's not everyday that a new product comes along that causes a buzz in the office. After all, they've seen it all, many of which we decide not to carry in our webstore. It doesn't seem that long ago that we reviewed the Streetwise LR800 Lightning Rod Stun Pen. What's a stun pen? Well, think of it as a mini sun baton. It's no bigger than those smallish halogen flashlights. It's about six inches long and just under an inch in diameter. It uses low drain LEDs and it's quite bright.

But of course, we're not Flashlight Supply, we're Stun Gun Supply so yes, it is also a stun gun. You take off the tip cover, turn the switch to stun and with a push of a button you've got 800,000 volts of stopping power. It's powered by two CR123A batteries that are included.

We were pretty impressed because, first, your assailant won't suspect that flashlight is really a personal defense weapon. Secondly, it's got a slim new shape, one you could store almost anywhere. We liked it and still do. Sales have been brisk since it's introduction.

Now we're all buzzing again because Streetwise has sent us the latest Lightning Rod model, the LR1200 stun pen. This one is even stronger than the LR800 and is rechargeable. That does away with battery replacements. Those lithium type batteries, though very long lasting, can be somewhat pricey to replace. No such worries with the LR1200R.

Do we love this one? Yep! It's cute as a bug and so easy to hold and maneuver in the hand. It's got a lot going for it and we're recommending it to the undecided customers who want something new and different.

Product Review: Stun Master Cell Phone Stun Gun

Few consumer stun guns are most popular than the "cell phone" simulated style. The Stun Master red cell phone stun gun "SM-Cell Red" has been a best seller on my site. Here you can go "stealth" because someone bent on assault will not know your innocent looking red cell phone is really an 800,000 volt stun gun. Needles to say, this unit does not operate as a real cell phone.

The Stun Master cell phone stun gun comes in red or blue. The unit is 4.5 inch tall X 1.75 inches wide X 1 inch thick. It comes with a soft holster with a snap snap loop on the back. The unit can be operated while in the holster. Measurements are marginally more with the product in the holster. The colored front face contains a screen at top about 1 1/4" square with a sky and cloud picture that simulates a Windows type environment.

The device is operated first by turning on the safety switch located on the side of the unit. Then a red LED lights indicating the on status. The stunning effect is activated by pressing a center silver button above the keyboard display. Like all stun guns of this type, you must touch the assailant's body to complete the stun effect.

The red cell phone stun gun requires two lithium type CR123A batteries. It is a well made unit for the type and cost. One word of caution. After you use the stun gun and your assailant is dazed and confused, don't stand there looking at your handy work. The stun effect is temporary with no lasting harm. Run, don't walk, to safety.
