Women are a powerful force in any setting and a self defense tool will help deter potential attackers. It's important that you remember that the tools can be used against the user, so ensure you pick the right ones for the situation. All three of these powerful weapons are voice, mind and body. To deter violence, resist with your body. However, you'll need the right tool. Your body has a powerful memory of muscle that needs to be activated when you are in danger.
Stun guns
Due to their power, stan guns are effective for self defense. They can also be used to take out larger attackers. These devices, which are heavy and bulky, work by creating an electrical circuit between two electrodes. This high voltage overloads the perpetrator's nervous systems, causing them both to become unconscious and to either fall over or freeze.
Mace
The chemical defense agent mace can be used for deterrent and self-defense. It causes irritation, swelling, nausea, and coughing in the victim. The effects usually last less then an hour.
Pepper spray
Pepper spray can be an effective self defense tool, but it can also be dangerous. Use it correctly. To incapacitate the attacker you need to aim directly at his/her eyes and nose. Make sure to spray the pepper in a way that covers as much of the attacker’s body as possible. Run away once the attacker is affected by pepper spray.
Tactical pen
A tactical pen is a tool for self defense. You want it to be durable and tough. You should look for high-impact plastics and stainless steel that are resistant to breaking. It should have a strong grip.
Baseball bats
If you've ever needed to defend against an attacker, a baseball bat might be a good choice. The baseball bat is a highly effective weapon that can not miss its target. And unlike guns, it will never run low on ammunition. However, baseball bats need to be used correctly in order to be effective.
TASER
TASER(r), guns use electric pulses to incapacitate threats up to 25 yards away. The low-voltage, high-amperage shock can cause temporary paralysis and incapacitate aggressors. While it is a powerful tool for self defense, it is equally important to be able to use it correctly.
Titanium Nitride-coated Knife
Titanium nitride coating improves the blade's durability. To prevent sticky buildup, industrial knives often have this coating. The coating's thickness will depend on the application as well as the desired hardness and resistance. The coating can improve the durability of the blade by decreasing its surface area while strengthening the cutting edges.
