SABRE RED Pepper Gel Spray – Safe Escape 3-in-1 Car Safety Tool – Maximum Police Strength Pepper Gel with Keychain Snap Clip, Seatbelt Cutter and Window Glass Breaker – Gel is Safer

So I bought this apocalyptic multi-tool confidently knowing that if all else failed, at least it would be more accurate than the weapons the stormtroopers use in Star Wars.Makes sense, right?Set your standards low, so that you won’t be disappointed.I apply this philosophy towards my personal relationships as well, but that will have to be for another product review.This one is for pepper spray—something which has, thankfully, never been used on me, despite the unequivocal veracity of the former statement.I currently work for a company, which despite being listed on the NY Stock Exchange, and making billions of dollars, insists on placing the facilities which I must visit in parts of America which most resemble war-torn Yemen.Since law enforcement apparently still uses carrier pigeons to dispatch their calls, I decided to purchase this item should I be forced to resolve any disputes on my own.At the very least I would be able to use the belt cutter to extricate myself from my overturned vehicle in the event of a riot occurring around me—again.After a thorough examination of this product, I can tell you that I am very pleased.It has a handy-dandy belt clip that swivels which is attached to a ring I can easily pull apart with a single grab in an emergency, a strong spring on a flip tab, and a window breaker, should I need to rescue one of our supervisors from being trapped in another vehicle—again.(Please take special note of the riot reference mentioned previously... No, seriously... I’m not kidding here. It actually happened)Although the glass breaking feature is probably something I will never use to rescue ANY more of the managerial spawn my company clones with the consistency of fresh rabbit pellets, it is good to know that it is indeed there in case I need to rescue someone’s dog locked in a car in 110 degree heat.As for the pepper spray, that is a gel compound.I have little experience with “gel” in this sort of an application, so I cannot comment on it with any authority.My experience with “gel” in other applications has varied from hair product to another usage which is probably best not described here in polite company.(Please reference my low-standards comments in the beginning of this article for exculpatory information on the comment mentioned previously).It seems like a quality item which may indeed extend my life one day...Therefore, I am giving this product a five-star review in the hopes that I never have to use it in any capacity whatsoever.

This item is no good, it is very flimsy and apparently was defective upon arrival; all I did was take it out the box, and put it on my keychain, I was not aware that the item had a leak, because I did not mess with it except to put it on my keychain as I previously mentioned; unknowingly touched my eye; to best describe what happened was all hell broke loose, my eyes were on fire, I had my contacts in my eye and was not able to get them out, one can only imagine. This was a bad experience. I rated this item with two stars, just because the arrival and packaging was precise.

Update to my original review from 1 year ago - wow, I would not buy this again. It worked great out of the box but not after that. It stays attached to my dog leash (in the house). I finally had to use it for the second time just today and it barely sputtered out any gel. With some work I got it to shoot out maybe 1 foot! Useless and empty! The first time I used it, a year ago, I sprayed it two times. It’s not worth the cost if this is all it has in it. Oh, and the rubber thing that goes around the glass break fell off within a month of buying it.Original review- I just got this a few days ago and already had to use it. I walk my dogs around the neighborhood each day and have been confronted with loose dogs in the past. I started carrying pepper spray, but found this product and decided to switch. Today while walking them, a loose dog came up to us. After an initial smell I heard growling. I kicked the small dog away and up comes a bigger dog. It’s a little hard to aim at a moving target with the gel because it shoots a stream rather than a spray, but at 7 feet away I got him just enough that he retreated, pawing at his face as he left. I must’ve touched my face with a little of it on my hand because my skin started burning, so hen holding the container be sure to keep your finger away from the nozzle so it doesn’t get on your hand. Anyway, I’ll never go out again without having this stuff in my pocket!! Only thing I wish is that the gel stream was just a little wider to help when shooting a moving target.

This item is nice looking, but not effective at all. The plastic is not durable. The Gray Pieces of the holder snapped off the first day I received the item. Unfortunately, the item is not eligible for refund. This can be a hazard. The flip switch and the sprayer nozzle do not stay snapped onto the actual pepper spray can so its constantly falling out. I'll trash this. Definitely don't want to accidentally spray myself or anyone else due to the faulty holder. Buyer beware.

Have had the product for a month and it has already come apart.

I was so excited to get this BUT I’ve already had big problems . I think the multi-way functions are a GREAT idea and was sold on them until I kept this on my keychain. The spray doesn’t have a cover at all and slightly leaks , not enough to damage anything but enough to where if you accidentally touch it umm hope your not touching your face anytime soon! My eyes were burning just from the residue from when I grabbed my keys . Very disappointed and now I can’t keep it on my keychain which kind of defeats the purpose of having it.

I wanted a pepper *gel* spray, with a protected flip top that could be stored in my car year round (out of direct sunlight), and this fit the bill. The other features were not very important to me, but are nice bonuses. I'm not sure how effective the window breaker would be, as it is rather small. The seat belt cutter is also on the smaller side, and doubt that it would quickly do the job. That said, I have another device for both purposes that will certainly get those jobs done. In other words, don't buy this item expecting much other than a solid, strong spray of pepper gel.
