I bought this for my wife to put on her keychain, and it works great. I actually bought her a different one, but it was black and ugly and she would NEVER carry it around. I bought her this one because I thought a prettier looking one would be easier for her to carry around, and I was right. She attached this one to her keys and so now she always has it on her. The safety catch thing is a must, and I was worried that it would be easy to flip accidentally while it's in her bag or something, but it hasn't happened yet. It seems like it has the perfect amount of force so that it's easy to flip into action with your hand in the case you actually need it really quick. But secure enough that it won't be flimsy and open on accident all the time. Because seriously the last thing I need is for my wife to call me pissed off that she pepper sprayed herself accidentally.We went outside and did a trial run on a tree to make sure it worked and also so she could practice using it (highly recommended for this kind of product, you wanna make sure you're not carrying around a dud) and it worked ok. It's sort of hard to aim, but my advice to everyone will be the same as I gave to my wife: If you're in a position you need to open this up and spray, just spray anywhere and everywhere in the general direction of the assailant's face and head!

I had two pepper spray units for years; one stayed in my purse, and the other was always with me on walks with my dog. Thankfully, I've only had to use one of them, once, when my dog and I were under attack by a menacing, off-leash dog, that wanted to fight. I can't tell you how quickly pepper spray alleviated the problem. And, a couple of weeks later, I saw the escapee dog in a distant neighbor's yard and he looked absolutely fine. The night of the confrontation, I was walking a 130 lb. Akita (on leash), so I can guarantee, that if that dog had attacked my dog, he would not have been looking fine. A little pepper spray saved one, or all of us from some degree of harm. I'd call that some bang for the buck.I decided to replace my units, after learning that they had passed expiration. Who knew! It never occurred to me, until someone told me that they have about a 5 year shelf life. So, essentially, I was walking around with decreased protection. Check yours---you might be surprised, too.I was intrigued by the SABRE Red hard case units, in cotton-candy, pink, which benefits the National Breast Cancer Foundation. I thought, 'I need them, the price is right, and they benefit a worthy organization, so why not choose these.'I'm so glad I did! First off, they are nice to look at, and they're made in the USA---yea. They have a pant, or belt clip, plus key ring, with quick release. They also contain 25 shots reaching a distance of approximately 8 to 10 feet. And, yes---they do function as described.In addition to keeping track of expiration dates, remember to test your unit every few months to make sure it is not malfunctioning. With SABRE units, if they fail to function, anytime before the expiration date, they are warrantied for replacement.I concur with another reviewer who stated you might take someone off guard with this cute little pink canister, because it doesn't look like a spray, or mace unit, but more like a container for a cosmetic item. Stealth mode is certainly always better than the obvious. I've purchased two units, and like them well enough to purchase more for gifts. Also, the expiration date on mine is March 2014, so they are definitely fresh units that will provide many years of increased security.Update August 2010: I've recently ordered several more of these units, after my granddaughter was out jogging and a man tried to abduct her. He grabbed her, trying to drag her to his truck, but she was able to fight him off. He didn't have a weapon, so if she had just had a spray unit in her possession, she could have escaped his attack more readily. She WILL have one, now, as well as other loved ones. This incident was such a reminder for me of the value of some protection. Whether you buy this unit (which I recommend), or another brand, just don't be caught without one.
