Excellent grip. Bad "tire" doesn't have a chance.

It feels sturdy, the grip is nice, but it was about a week and I could hear the weight rattle on every thump. Then yesterday the weight came right out of the end. I’ve been using this thumper for about 6 weeks. And of course, I’m outside of the return window. Probably get some two part epoxy and goop it back together.Update: Craig the owner reached out to me and refunded the purchase price and then some. He is also sending me a replacement thumper. Good customer service seems a thing of the past but not at Big Rig Defense. This is excellent customer service and I wouldn’t hesitate buying another product from them.Changing this from 2 stars to five stars for the absolutely amazing customer service. This is a man that believes in his product and his company and it shows. I would recommend anyone do business with Big Rig Defense with confidence.

I love the balanced weight, grip, length and finish of this Made in America tire thumper. It’s nicely made.I felt I should practice using it. I have been practicing on the punching bags at gym (by permission) as stand-ins for tires that need thumping. Punching bags imitate actual tires up to about six feet high, so it’s pretty versatile.Using online search I found a basic set of a half-dozen useful ways to defend yourself from tires that might have the wrong pressure. By practicing these moves through hundreds of real-time swings, wrist flips and jabs, I’m learning the proper distance from the fire, can anticipate my arm reach, have adopted an active stance, and gained full alertness needed for thumping tires. All in self defense, which I focus on.I’m very happy with this tire thumper. It has helped me learn new techniques every time I practice.I am the first one at my gym to practice thumping indoors. Other members comment on this short stick. I chose indoors because the consistently pleasant weather encourages regular practice.Might need a second one, too, and this will be my first choice.

This mace is nice. The grip is nice. It is nice on the eyes. Has a nice weight on it. I have the 10oz. Perfect swing on it. If you have ever swung a bat, ax shovel, hammer...etc. then you will understand.

Overall it's just a nicely finished wood club with grip grooves in the wood and some grip tape on that area so it's non slip. it has a small cord loop which is nice, but i think i'll put a little thicker nylon cord to be a little stronger. The wood is stained a light brown with a slightly darker areas that look nice and has some sort of varnish or clear coat on it to make it glossy. The grip tape is just regular finer skateboard like grip tape but it does enhance the grip. The wood has a fine line down each side of it's oval like shape which fits great in the hand, but i'm wondering if it was made with 2 pieces of wood. It is a good weight and if it had to use in defensive uses, it can cause a lot of damage just based on the feel of it it, besides checking your tires lol.
