ACMEThunderer Plastic Whistle

This is a real whistle. It is very loud w/o much effort blowing. Like the ones sports referees use. It seems solid and tough too.

So glad to be able to find this model Acme Thunderer on Amazon. Introduced to the Acme Thunderer in the early 70s, my family has used them for dog obedience training and for three generations of lifeguards over the past 49 years. As a former lifeguard instructor, the Acme Thunderer is ALWAYS my choice over the more common lifeguard whistles. The whistle performs PERFECTLY while soaking wet, and adequately EVEN when FULL of water, believe it or not. The cork float ball is the secret to its success. The plastic is durable and the whistles last forever. I only need a new one when I lose one or when I give them as gifts.

Loud! Only drawback is there is no lanyard, for the price it should have been included.

I use it for dog training, very loud.

Many hours dancing in traffic and signaling folks with my Acme Thunder whistles. They're long-lasting, but over years the pea gets worn to a grain of sand ... LOL! Thus replacements always needed. You can even color coordinate them with your uniform. ;-) Great whistle.

I had this item shipped to Dolphin Research Center on Grassy Key Florida, as they do wonderful work rescuing and caring for dolphins that would otherwise die, due to injuries caused by humans! This is one of the items on their “donation” list!

Loud ,light, and still made in the U.K.

Esperaba que fuera similar al thunderer 58 o 59 pero es muy pequeño y el sonido muy agudo, una decepción.

My 3rd Acme whistle over my footballing years (lost the others at one stage or another) definitely pay to pay that little extra and buy a decent whistle.

I was looking for an item that didn't need batteries, and I could keep it on my key chain when I'm out walking my dog late at night. After reading the reviews I decided to purchase the item. Well, I'm glad I did. This is a very loud whistle. It's the right size, it doesn't feel bulky, it fits nicely on my key chain, and it's great value for money. I'm happy with my purchase, the item is as described, and I would recommend this item as well as purchase it again if needed.

Wanted LOUD whistles for a couple of female relatives living in London for their safety and security. Good, lightweight, well made and LOUD whistles. Everyone should carry one.

Love the whistle.....use it to train my dog......i want 4 more...

Just what i needed and arrived super quick.its a little high pitched and shrill, but just what you need to draw attention. Comes with a robust lanyard.
