Tornado Personal Defense System-Product Review

I have spent most of my life (95% or more) in senior management positions or as an owner of a small business. Multitasking, which has become a new buzzword, was basically a common way of life for me for over 30 years. That is why I have such a soft spot in my heart for products that can do more than one thing at the same time.

The Tornado personal defense system with armband is a multitasking self-defense item that is perfect for female self-defense with a defensive spray, strobe light that can blind attackers and a loud personal alarm. It is one fantastic product with plenty of defensive capability.

This self-defense item is slightly larger than a cell phone at 3.5″ x 2.25″, making it light weight, easy to use and accessible in under 1 second. It uses a unique safety door to prevent accidental discharge of the pepper spray.

The personal alarm is one of the loudest at 125 dB. The pepper spray uses the full strength 10% solution of oleoresin capsicum (OC) with 2 million Scoville heat units-enough to put a bad guy on his back. The OC spray contains enough OC to fire 8 to 10 one second bursts up to 15 feet away-further than the industry average.

The alarm and strobe light are automatically activated when the pepper spray is deployed. It features a strobe light and Insta-Finger Lock to keep the Tornado personal defense system in your hands and automatically aims the spray in the correct direction.

It uses two button batteries that are included and includes a belt clip and lanyard with each unit. There are accessories available to allow for several different carrying methods including armband and belt clip.

The Tornado Personal Defense System is a revolutionary product that can protect in three ways-the blinding strobe light, ear piercing personal alarm and the potent OC spray.

The tornado personal defense system has a defensive spray with a 48 month shelf life which is much more than most sprays on the market today.

When worn on your arm or belt this personal defense system can be activated faster than any other self-defense item in the world-one second or less! When the OC spray is accessed, the strobe light and loud personal alarm are automatically engaged making the personal defense system one very effective tool especially for female self-defense.

It should be noted that full strength pepper spray (10%) is illegal in some jurisdictions so check with your local police department first for any restrictions.

Why Powerful Self Defense Items Are Better For Your Self Defense

Self defense items have been around literally for thousands of years. Even back in the Bible, self defense items were in use-sticks and stones. I guess they were the very first nonlethal self defense used by cavemen. Only when sophisticated minds figured out ways to kill people were self defense items less important

But as people became more sophisticated, yet again they discovered that they didn’t like the deadly force of a handgun so nonlethal self defense is back in vogue again. These self defense items provide an alternative to the deadly force of a handgun. The more powerful stun devices and pepper sprays are the better they are for your self defense. And here’s why!

First of all, pepper sprays discharge a solution that contains a resin of the most powerful pepper in the world-the cayenne pepper. The resin is called oleoresin capsicum (OC) and when it comes in contact with the skin-notably around the face-it causes extreme pain, shortness of breath, almost uncontrollable coughing and choking and tearing of the eyes so bad that they may actually close. The effects only last for 45 minutes which to the assailant who’s a victim it seems like forever.

Stun devices, in particular stun guns, are not so dramatic but are equally effective. Stun tools are hand held devices with two or more prongs on one end that conduct an electrical charge generated by a battery. When activated the stun device causes electrical arcs to fly back and forth between the prongs.

That arcing makes a rather intimidating sound. Sometimes these sights and sounds of the electrical arcs are enough to scare an assailant away. If not a 3 to 5 second application of the stun device to an assailant will cause the electrical charge to make the body work super-fast which depletes it of all blood sugars needed for energy.

Both Stun Guns and pepper sprays are on average 86% effective. The more powerful the concentration of OC in the pepper spray the more effective is the spray. The more powerful the voltage in a stun gun, the more effective the stun gun is. When you’re in an assault situation a few seconds can make a huge difference. Stun guns and pepper sprays both have a near immediate impact on an assailant. The more powerful they are the faster the protection begins.

Safety Tip Of The Week-Home Invasion Scam

There have been many reports on the news around the country about this scam that bad guys are using to get into your house-a home invasion scam. What happens is two guys posing as repair men, utility workers or even as policemen are attempting to get into your house. Just two days ago, two people posing as Comcast repairman tried to get into a ladies house here in town.

She got a little suspicious because she didn’t see a Comcast truck out in the street. That’s two guys had Comcast had badges on their Shirts. This lady was pretty smart. She asked for identification and when they couldn’t produce any she got very suspicious and told the guys that she was going to call first before she let them in. Well of course that spooked them and they took off.

Trust me when I tell you don’t want a home invasion because the bad guys are after more than what’s in your house, they mean to cause you harm. There is almost always violence in a home invasion.

A HOME SECURITY CAMERA will act as a major deterrent to home invasion.

Here are some tips to avoid this kind of scam.

Ask for identification.

See if there’s a vehicle associated with the company they claim to be working for.

Just because they’re carrying a toolbox doesn’t mean they’re authentic.

A company patch on uniforms doesn’t mean much.

Someone who shows up unannounced should arouse suspicion.

Always have a self defense product like a stun gun or pepper spray around the house in case home invaders get in.

As soon as you start your search you will discover that there are thousands of products by hundreds of different manufacturers for personal security worldwide.

If you can find the product on a reliable website you can make one safe assumption-the product is above average in reliability. Importers of self-defense products don’t want to be burdened with an unreliable product. So hundreds of products never make it to the United States for good reason-they don’t work.

If you should happen decide on a pepper spray as your first line of self-defense for personal security you will then discover that most pepper sprays have a range of 6 to 12 feet. And for a lot of people that’s probably okay.

If you should happen to miss on your first shot against a dog attack or an assault you just fire away. That’s why it is so great against multiple attackers.

The Mace Pepper Gun comes in a choice of four colors for the dispenser (the gun) and includes a 28 gram OC cartridge, a test cartridge filled with water so you can practice getting used to the distance and six batteries for the LED light that help in aiming and can temporarily disorient an assailant.

OC is so devastating on an assailant that it can disable him for up to 45 minutes. Many countries have outlawed pepper sprays but they are legal in the United States in all 50 states. A few states have restrictions on the concentration of OC allowed, so check with your sheriffs’ department before you get one

Pepper Sprays-Top Three Most Popular Models

Pepper spray, also known as defensive sprays or in some circles OC sprays, short for oleoresin capsicum which is the main ingredient in pepper sprays, have been used as a weapon literally for thousands of years. There are countries that consider it so dangerous that they don’t even allow their police officers to use it. That is not the case in this country where pepper spray is legal in all 50 states. Some states do have restrictions on the level of OC concentration that can be used. It is most popular for female self-defense and personal security.

Pepper spray has been rated at 85% effectiveness. It would be higher but the main problem with pepper sprays is that they can get blown off course by even a slight wind. That can be overcome to some extent by using a pepper gel which holds up a lot better in windy conditions.

Aside from the pain the pepper spray is famous for inflicting on an assailant, it swells the eye veins causing the eyes to close creating temporary blindness. It also makes breathing difficult and causes choking and coughing. Many people recommend pepper spray as their first line of self-defense. Would you agree that a product that is carried by every police officer in the country for the performance of their jobs and by every postal carrier with the USPS for the first line of defense against dog attacks shouldn’t be used by civilians too?

When you go to look for a pepper spray to buy, you have into thousands of choices. That can be a little bit intimidating and probably a little bit confusing. So here based on experience are the three most popular models for female self-defense and personal security.

The Mace brand triple action police model-this 2 million SHU (a common measure of heat intensity), 10% concentration of oleoresin capsicum includes teargas and ultraviolet dye for easy identification of an assailant. It contains 20 half second shots in a range of from 8 to 12 feet. There’s a flip top safety for preventing accidental discharge and each canister contains an expiration date.

The Fox labs two ounce stream spray-has a spring-loaded flip top. This 5.3 million SHU spray is the same model used by police law enforcement and security forces worldwide. It has a three-year shelf life and contains UV dye. It has a range up to 20 feet and enough OC for 18 half second shots.

The most popular is the Mace pepper gun-with enough OC for seven 25 foot shots, making it the longest range of any self-defense product in the world. The Mace Pepper Gun uses replaceable cartridges with a 10% concentration of OC and 2 million SHU. It is available in four colors.

Those are the three most popular models of defensive sprays used for female self-defense and personal security.

Self Defense-Pepper Spray History And Usage Tips

According to Wikipedia “pepper spray is also known as OC spray (from oleoresin capsicum), OC gas and capsicum spray. It is a chemical compound that irritates eyes to cause tears, pain and even temporary blindness used in riot control, crowd control and personal self-defense including defense against dogs and bears.”

In ancient China thousands of years ago the Chinese used ground cayenne pepper, one of the hottest peppers in the world, in a bag that they threw at their opponents. That was the start of chemical warfare. Ever since then people have been trying to figure out what they could do to immobilize and incapacitate their enemies. The origins of modern-day pepper spray go back to the University of Georgia where was developed by two professors around 1960. It was sold as an animal repellent.

In 1989 the FBI authorized the use of OC sprays for SWAT teams to control suspects without resorting to deadly force. The U.S. Postal Service started issuing pepper sprays to letter carriers back in the 1980s for their first line of self-defense against dog attacks. Today there isn’t one law enforcement officer in the country that doesn’t have pepper spray on his utility belt.

It is the number one selling and most popular self-defense product in the world.

Pepper spray is potentially life-threatening if used on somebody with asthma. It is still banned for use in war by the Chemical Weapons Convention. In most countries around the world OC spray is illegal. In United States it is legal everywhere but some cities and states have restrictions as to the level of OC in the canister.

The tendency when sprayed with it is to rub it out of your eyes. That only makes the pain worse. If you accidentally get pepper spray on you baby shampoo, milk, water or Maalox are the best treatments next to time.

The effects of defensive sprays last as long as 45 minutes. When used by consumers for self-defense that time is best spent fleeing the scene of an assault to seek help.

Defensive spray is not a toy and should definitely not be left within the reach of a child. Misuse of pepper spray can result in legal action.

Here are some tips on the best use of OC spray even brands like STREETWISE PEPPER SPRAY

1. Each spray comes with instructions. Make sure you read them first.

2. Store your OC spray a cool place not in a hot unventilated vehicle where it could explode.

3. Each spray should have an expiration date. It may be ineffective after that date usually three or four years after you purchase it.

4. Practice using the spray. Remember the wind can affect the spray. Practice will help you get used to that.

Defensive sprays are only one of the many alternatives for non lethal self-defense. It is close to 90% effective on average.

Cheapest Pepper Sprays-Comparing Four Top Brands

Everybody knows about pepper sprays by now. Modern-day versions were invented back in the 1960′s by two University of Georgia veterinarians. They were first designed as animal repellents. Only in the late 1980′s did the FBI, after three years of exhaustive study, approve them for use by their agents out in the field. So pepper sprays, as we know them, are a relatively new type of non lethal self-defense.

And the most common ingredient in pepper spray is a derivative of one of the hottest plants in the world-the cayenne chili pepper. It is called oleoresin capsicum. That’s where the OC comes from. Most countries around the world have not approved the use of pepper spray even by their own law enforcement agencies because it is so powerful.

There are literally thousands of OC sprays out there from hundreds of manufacturers. Not all of them make it into the United States. Here are four of the cheapest pepper sprays and some characteristics of each. This comparison shows that you don’t need to spend much money to get a quality product for your self-defense.

The most common measurement of hotness of OC sprays is called the Scoville Heat Unit or SHU.

1. First is the Pepper Shot brand pepper spray-half ounce canister with a key release. It contains enough OC for 5 one second bursts. At $4.95 it is the cheapest of them all.

2. Second is the Fox brands-half ounce hard case that comes in black. It comes in at a hefty 5.3 million SHU as the hottest in the world. This Fox brand is used by law enforcement agencies throughout the United States. It contains 10 1/2 second sprays. At $12.95 it represents the best value in my opinion.

3. Third is the Mace soft case-that comes in a choice of black, red, blue, purple or green. It is two million Scoville heat units and contains 10 1/2 second bursts. At $8.95 it is one of the cheapest.

4. And last is the Streetwise Hard Case half ounce-that comes in yellow, white, red or green. It contains 6 to 8 one second bursts. It is also 2 million Scoville heat units.

There are some things that these four brands have in common. In this day and age when everything is imported from outside of the country all four of these brands are made in United States. They all have expiration dates stamped on the bottom of the canister usually with a three year from shelf life.

They all have a safety lock to prevent accidental discharge. And they all use a UV dye so when you spray an assailant police can identify the suspect readily.

Those are four of the cheapest pepper sprays from some of the best companies that make them.

Pepper Spray In Action

This morning one of my neighbors told me of a harrowing experience she had last night downtown. She was leaving a late theatre performance and was on her way to her car in an underground parking garage. She was by herself.

As she approached her car she heard a barely distinguishable voice ask her for the time. That is when the red flags go up and the hair on her neck stand on end. She kept going towards her car and again heard the voice tell her to slow down.

She reached into her purse and pulled out her MACE PEPPER GEL and told the jerk to back off holding up her spray.

He laughed and kept advancing so she fired off a 15 foot shot that hit him right in the eyes. The screaming from the pain of the would be assailant drew a crowd and someone called the cops. The bad guy was hauled away. Pepper spray in action.

Why did my neighbor tell me? It seems that about 6 months ago I gave her the spray to keep her safe. WOW-made me feel good!!
