Works as expected for a personal alarm. Loud. Affordable. Simple to use. Great tool for safety.

Someone somewhere mentioned that it started working days later because maybe the battery protector slip left something on a battery. I cleaned off the batteries and re-installed them and it works. It did not work originally. I'm still giving it 0 stars because I had taken out my ear plugs and this really was not pleasant on my ears. Just make the junk work from the start.

Added security for those nighttime walks and runs. Very small and easy to use. VERY LOUD, so when trying it out found opening it under a pillow worked well.

Good concept for an alarm, I have it on a lanyard. It functions well. I imagine it could be useful in an emergency situation. It is loud, it will draw attention. It was an inexpensive way to let my wife feel more at ease.

There are way louder ones. U need the 140 decibel alarm. I mean this Sabre one is okay. It's a noise, but not earth shattering. I found different brands that go 140 decibels and those ones are the ones that make me feel safe. SABRE is my go to for my pepper spray and I thought they would knock it out of the box with this personal alarm, but they did not. I think they may be focused on not negatively impacting your hearing as the 140 decibel other brand I purchased comes with warning that basically says your dog will hate u and if this alarm sounds too long u will go blind, bleed from your ears, and die...lol...okay, not all of that, but definitely risky if it sounds too long. Meanwhile, when Im trying to scare off a bad guy with bad intentions directed at me, the last thing I want is this little puny Sabre sound trying to protect my hearing and gently scare the bad guy away. No, I want pure hell directed at the bad guy. For that reason, I say skip Sabre for this product and search for 140 decibel personal alarms on Amazon of course 😉

I was home alone for two weeks, and I wanted something to have with me just in case something were to go wrong. I'm pretty paranoid, so I wanted to get this alarm for some piece of mind. At first, I was afraid to trigger it because I didn't know how loud it would be or if it would even work. That being said, it pulls off easily and produces a loud, sharp noise. It's also easy to reattach the chain so the alarm stops. I keep it on my keys, which I either have on me or next to my nightstand table. I don't know what the two button-looking things are on it, but even though they're pointless I don't mind them. The design is simple, and it's small which is a plus. I hope I don't have to use this, but it's a nice gadget to have.

I had my hearing checked last week. No, I really did! The audiologist says my hearing is PERFECT. So I'm not deaf. I want to get that established first.This could, in my opinion, be a little louder. It's loud. It is, but really not super startling loud. Because honestly, this is more likely going to save someone because of the "scare the bad guy away" factor, than the "alert a good samaratin into saving yo ass" factor.The pitch is odd. It's very high pitched, which isn't so nerve rattling to me. Maybe that's just my opinion. It's really a great product at a good price.It's very unlikely that you will set it off by mistake. You actually need to grab it and pull significantly to set it off. Putting the pin back in is easy.Pros:SimpleMy eight year old uses itBlends in nicely on a keychainEasy to stopEasy to startCons:Strange pitch, very high, dogs probably really hate it.Could be louder, should be so loud that it really, really startles someone, rattles their cage so to speak.This is just like, annoying loud. I feel like my house alarm is nerve rattling loud. You are forced to turn off the house alarm immediately, your mind just can't handle how loud it is. My house alarm is a deeper tone too, like you can feel it beeping in your head, deep tone.Okay, enough of my rambling about sound tones, I'm not an expert or anything. I guess I just expected a deeper note and loudness. Not so "dog whistley"

This SABRE Personal Alarm is very easy to use and is indeed quite loud. We gave one of these to my daughter after taking one of "Refuse to be a Victim" classes and feel much better that she has it on her when traveling in states where she isn't permitted to use other means of protection.The fob can be used as a key chain or attached to just about any strap on a backpack, purse, or even a belt-loop. The alarm is activated when the fob is pulled off the ring, which takes a determined effort. The resulting alarm is quite loud and very attention getting.This is a decent choice for anyone concerned about their safety, just be sure to test it periodically to insure you know how it works and that the batteries are still working.Highly Recommended!CFH
