Good to have. Also bought one for a friend.

Works great 👌🏼

I had two pepper spray units for years; one stayed in my purse, and the other was always with me on walks with my dog. Thankfully, I've only had to use one of them, once, when my dog and I were under attack by a menacing, off-leash dog, that wanted to fight. I can't tell you how quickly pepper spray alleviated the problem. And, a couple of weeks later, I saw the escapee dog in a distant neighbor's yard and he looked absolutely fine. The night of the confrontation, I was walking a 130 lb. Akita (on leash), so I can guarantee, that if that dog had attacked my dog, he would not have been looking fine. A little pepper spray saved one, or all of us from some degree of harm. I'd call that some bang for the buck.I decided to replace my units, after learning that they had passed expiration. Who knew! It never occurred to me, until someone told me that they have about a 5 year shelf life. So, essentially, I was walking around with decreased protection. Check yours---you might be surprised, too.I was intrigued by the SABRE Red hard case units, in cotton-candy, pink, which benefits the National Breast Cancer Foundation. I thought, 'I need them, the price is right, and they benefit a worthy organization, so why not choose these.'I'm so glad I did! First off, they are nice to look at, and they're made in the USA---yea. They have a pant, or belt clip, plus key ring, with quick release. They also contain 25 shots reaching a distance of approximately 8 to 10 feet. And, yes---they do function as described.In addition to keeping track of expiration dates, remember to test your unit every few months to make sure it is not malfunctioning. With SABRE units, if they fail to function, anytime before the expiration date, they are warrantied for replacement.I concur with another reviewer who stated you might take someone off guard with this cute little pink canister, because it doesn't look like a spray, or mace unit, but more like a container for a cosmetic item. Stealth mode is certainly always better than the obvious. I've purchased two units, and like them well enough to purchase more for gifts. Also, the expiration date on mine is March 2014, so they are definitely fresh units that will provide many years of increased security.Update August 2010: I've recently ordered several more of these units, after my granddaughter was out jogging and a man tried to abduct her. He grabbed her, trying to drag her to his truck, but she was able to fight him off. He didn't have a weapon, so if she had just had a spray unit in her possession, she could have escaped his attack more readily. She WILL have one, now, as well as other loved ones. This incident was such a reminder for me of the value of some protection. Whether you buy this unit (which I recommend), or another brand, just don't be caught without one.

I would just like to say that before using this i had researched a lot about mace and honestly for me i am going to buy a gel base that has a steady stream just because it would probably be more effective in the future if ever needed again all though i dont want to use it. Today i encountered someone with road rage leaving my apartment complex the same time i was to make a long story short she got mad for no reason she was the one driving like a maniac anyway she stopped in front of my car blocking me and got out saying she was gonna beat my ass she actually came to my window reached in and assaulted me i told her to back off i would spray her in the face she shoved my face and still kept on with the crap so i sprayed her in the face with this now it was kind of windy and she backed off a little bit so it hit her at a farther distance than i would have liked and she also turned her head when it started spraying so i dont think it got her as good as it should have but instantly she went from "im gonna beat your ass and drag you out of the car mode" to she couldnt see and was having trouble walking back to her car and instantly shut up after all that yelling, her friend got in the drivers seat and told her to stop (considering the fact this whole thing was so ghetto and pointless and i did nothing wrong to begin with) her friend took the drivers seat over while she was rubbing her eyes. so yes this does indeed work and i cannot believe this was the time i had to use it.. people are so dumb and primitive now a days. dont attach someone in there car because they need to get into the same lane your trying to get into, Jesus.. anyway i will say, the wind blew it a little bit and i got some of it on my hands later today i touched my lips and i felt some of the burn and this was hours after. it didn't hurt me because it was such a small amount on my mouth but i could for sure see how getting that stuff in your eyes and nose could really put someone down and this doesn't just wash off with water either its oil based and takes a long time to calm down. like i said though i would get a gel spray next time with a steady stream to prevent any of this pain blowing back in my face or on my hand. but i still recommend this product as a non lethal weapon its better than getting your gun out and shooting someone and its better than fighting in the middle of a highway because a deranged lunatic is having a bad day.
