Personal Security Products OHTT Ole Hickory Tire Thumper

Initially I purchased one of these fish knockers, as an all situations type of stick. Very solid feeling, and heavier than it looks. It was also aesthetically pleasing to the eye, with the bark still on it. A nice piece of wood. So we bought two more, one of them to give as a gift. But when they arrived (today) we were disappointed in the way they look. The bark is hardly present at all, looking like it was sanded off, and they are basically bare sticks of wood. They feel solid, but they are disappointing. The first stick we received: 5 stars in all categories. The next two we ordered: meh, maybe 3.5 (depending on how much weight you give to the aesthetics of the wood). NOTE. I decided to downgrade my initial 4 star rating to 3 star. I may return the two additional sticks.

I am happy with this item. I wanted something to keep in my vehicle for safety and this seems perfect. Its sturdy and lightweight but will definitely be a thumper if needed for security or fishing. The only downside is that its misshapen. I wish more care was taken in creating the item so it was symmetrical instead of flat in some spots and bulging in others.

took a month to get, but its perfect. self defense. fits in my shoulder bag just right, if needed this should give the crazies in seattle something to ponder. at 72 i am vulnerable, but this is MY town, come and get it.

Great quality. Solid wood. Just the right size and weight to sore in the car. Made in USA.

What a disappointment. First this thing is cedar not hickory. It has bends and curves which isn’t a deal breaker however the Diameter of the business end is a scant 1”. Much to wimpy. The handle is About 5/8”. Not large enough grip for a man. Maybe better for a child or woman’s hand. Even the leather lanyard is child size. Totally misrepresented Save your dough!

Im a kayak angler and I ordered this to be my on-board fish whacker. Its a simple and humane way to put the fish down and harvest quality meet. I knock them over the head knocking them out or possibly killing them, then I cut the gills and bleed the fish in an ice slurry. This way the fish suffers the minimum amount and I get clean white blood free meat. I also have an ikejime set on board but thats a lot more work, just knocking them over the head and bleeding the gills is simple and effective. And it floats! This was important to me, I read the questions before buying and it wasnt answered. I looked up hickory wood, it does have an appropriate density to float on water, but I wasnt certain this product was 100% hickory. I still cannot attest to the hickory composition but I am delighted to report that it does float! Testing it floating was my first order of business on the water today. And it was excellent for thumping fish! Its solid, heavy, not too heavy, looks great, feels great, and bonks em real good. 10/10 would recommend.

The stick is a little smaller than I thought it would be. Less than one inch in diameter, the length is good eighteen inches.I like to walk in the woods bought it for protection coyotes sighted in area an inch to an inch and a half would of made me feel better. Being a petite female a little more heft to the stick would of made me happy.Other than the diameter it is a nice stick, just for $20 I expected a little more stick ....lol

Car jackings are running rampant around the area where I work. If I can deter someone from grabbing me through my car window or as I enter my vehicle without the use of lethal force Im all for it. This thumper should be a useful tool in doing so. It is heavy and very stout. One trick I learned in a self defense class is to cover the thumper with a sock. That way if someone grabs it to take it away from you the sock will just slip off. BTW, I also use it to check tire pressure on the various trailers I pull. Very handy

This thing isnt good, it looks nice and you could use it to thump someone across their head, but dont try to use it for tires. It doesnt work, you cant feel or hear any difference between a flat tire and a fully aired tire, and when you hit a tire it will bounce back (again flat or not) and hurt your hand in the process, better to just save $20 and kick it with your boots instead.

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