Personal Security Products OHTT Ole Hickory Tire Thumper

Strudy

Yes

Feels good in the hand. Nice weight and balance. Looks great. Nice craftsmanship.

Its solid. Swings nice.

I like the concept and bought 4 to keep in our cars and trucks. Sadly two are bent, one significantly. Disappointing product quality control.

My son was walking his 3 year old Weimaraner and they were both attached by 2 pit bills. It took 4 grown men to pull them off his dog, his dog laid on his back in a submission move and the pits tore into the dogs chest. $1,000 in vet bills later I looked here and found pry bars made for pits. I figured beat it with a bat, better than a gun at this point. Light and easy to carry.

You get more than what you pay for it’s a great club very sturdy and great for defense if your strong enough to swing it properly would buy again.

I bought this for my Father in-law to carry when he walks his dog at night or early in the morning. We live in NJ and we have coyotes. He also sees loose dogs once in a while. He used to carry a broom stick when he walked the dog. This is much thicker and very sturdy. He puts this in his pocket and pulls his shirt over it. I bought this because one night while holding the broom stick a cop stopped him and gave him a hard time.

The one I received was rather thin. I don’t have huge hand and the grip felt tiny to me. I put it in the wife’s car, but even with her I don’t think it would survive many swings. I wanted to love it... but I don’t.

We had a terrible experience with Pepper Spray that DID NOTWORK when a dog got loose and came after our dog. Found this, which is something I would use in a second, and have handy; the speed of a bad dog (or person probably) catches you off-guard; but this in hand ready to go is great. I would not be afraid to use on anything trying to hurt our dog (or me). Makes hubby feel better too about our/my safety. I WOULD LIKE TO ESPECIALLY THANK the reviewer who mentioned a GREAT idea learned in her self-defense class which I have done with my Old Hickory Just a recommendation/idea, of course. BUT was suggested that if you put a sock on the end of Hickory, if someone/dog grabs end and pulls, THE SOCK COMES OFF instead of it getting grabbed from you. Now, so I dont look like a psycho to my neighbors, I even have a poop bag over the end of it, so it looks like Im carrying poop bags and not a club! I wrap the strap on wrist, then the handles of two poop bag I hold & stroll. A little pricey, but I like him (not sure how it identifies!!!) LOL Hopefully Ill never had to report how it worked; but people cant control their dogs all the time, or loose dogs, or the one that got us charged out his house screen door. Anyway, if you use it for tires, bet it works great!
