SABREDefense Spray, 3-in-1 Formula Contains Max Strength Pepper Spray, CS Military Tear Gas & UV Marking Dye, Quick Release Key Ring for Easy Carry, Finger Grip for More Accurate Aim, 0.54 fl oz

This product works. Having been sprayed with pepper spray before in training, I wanted to test the 3 in 1 that blends CS tear gas and pepper spray with UV Dye that I carry. I sprayed a short burst in our garage and in seconds, the vapors ran me out of the garage choking and sneezing with a burning sensation in my throat and nose. I sprayed a couple of bursts onto my finger and rubbed it around my eyelid and the corner of my eye. I instantly regretted this test. Simultaneously my eye slammed shut tightly and everywhere where the spray made contact felt like it was on fire. The pain made me short of breath, sort of panic for a second and it also made my eyes tear. No matter how hard I tried, I could not open my eye. When I tried to peel my eye open, the pain was 10 times worse. This went on for about 20 minutes and this was just from the residue and not actually getting it sprayed in my face. Years ago a coworker who carry’s the Sabre 3 in 1 on his keys, sprayed a buddy who is a correctional officer. The correctional officer didn’t believe it would be as effective as the larger can of police issued Sabre Red he carries at work. The effects of this application went on for about 30 minutes with some of the secondary effects lasted long after. Sabre has made chemical defense sprays for about 50 years and they are used by just about every major police department. This compact keychain canister provides about 10 seconds of spray and fires 10-12 feet. It is an effective personal safety option for anyone looking for a very effective self defense spray. Few tips regarding defense sprays:1. Keep this spray accessible! Don’t let it get buried in a pocket, bag or left behind. I Ike this keychain model because every time I grab my key fob to leave the house, it is with me and in my hand when out and about. It won’t do you any good in the bottom of a bag. Carry it in your hand with the safety unlocked and with your thumb on the trigger ready to spray when walking alone, in parking lots or any potentially dangerous situation. Situational awareness is your best defense.2. This is a twist lock safety cap. The twist lock blocks the spray nozzle, but when moved counter clockwise at a 45 degree angle, the nozzle is exposed. The instructions clearly say to “press down on the center of the actuator button where it says “press”. It is designed this way so that it takes a purposeful push to discharge the canister so it doesn’t accidentally spray. I’ve watched videos where people were lightly tapping the back of the button and couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t spray. This is not hairspray. Put your thumb in the center of the button and push down on the button.3. This is a combination of OC Spray and CS Military Tear Gas plus UV Marking Dye. The pepper forces the eyes to shut and swells the mucous membranes. The CS Tear Gas magnifies the burning sensation and spreads around the eye area. When I tested it on just one eye, my other eye also began to burn and tear. It is classified as a Level III spray that causes maximum effects on the visual and respiratory systems. I feel that the combination of pepper and tear gas burns faster and more intensely than pepper alone. It is often described as a synergistic effect.4. Sabre sells inert practice canisters filled with water that spray identical to the live canisters. These cost a few bucks and are an important training aid. Practice spraying a static target, then enlist the help of a buddy wearing eye protection, and practice spraying the mock attacker with the inert spray while stepping to the side and escaping. You don’t just stand there when deploying self defense spray. You should spray and move.5. Don’t carry off brand sprays that omit quality control testing. The reason Sabre has a reputation for effectiveness and reliability is because they are ISO certified, EPA certified and SEI certified. They check every canister for leakage, performance, pressure variance, quality of materials and test fire every canister before it is shipped. They also test every batch produced in an in house lab for consistent potency. Off brand sprays cost less and are less reliable because they omit some or all of those tests.6. I also recommend you keep a larger canister (called Sabre 120 Magnum) by your bedside and front door. These larger canisters contain enough spray to handle a mob and spray in a wider blast for multiple intruders.

Sabre is a good brand. This 2 pack is perfect and keep in mind it sprays pepper spray, plus tear gas, plus invisible ink the cops can use a light to make it show. So when you spray an attacker they can verify they got the right guy afterwards. This stuff is stronger than the kind for dogs and bears. You might wonder why? Simple, because animals are more sensitive to toxins like this, due to their superior senses, so it takes less yo ok overwhelm them. Plus p.e.t.a. but there is no people for the ethical treatment of humans special interest group, so the stuff for humans is allowed to be stronger.

I love Sabre brand pepper spray. Clasps are strong, key rings are strong, I've never accidentally dropped one of these. Small enough to keep on my keys which I like. Thankfully I've never had to use the product, but I've sprayed a plant and the stream reaches a good couple of feet of distance. I feel safer with it.

Well it finally happened and I needed to use the product. A larger size dog got out of the neighbors house as I was walking my dogs and went for us. I sprayed it and it ran away. It did come back 10 seconds later I might add. But it defused the situation so I could get my dogs away. I’m buying more after writing this review.

Got this for my own safety at my job. Hope I never have to actually fire it.

I haven't actually had to spray/use this (thank goodness), but it gives me some peace of mind when I am out and about alone. I appreciate the quick release keychain and the ergonomic design/size is just right.

Good price for two of them. Athe package arrived on time.

I love it, I would definitely buy it again.
