You know those cool flashlights the cops and NCIS guys use all the time on TV? It’s true, gone are the days of the 8 D-cell monsters cops used to carry. They’ve been replaced by light, pocket sized, and high intensity models–such as the SureFire E2D Executive Defender. This light is a little over five inches long, weighs only five ounces, and easily fits in a pants pocket or the accompanying holster
.
It works as a weapon in two ways: the light can be turned on instantaneously with the thumb switch and shone directly into an attacker’s eyes. It’s bright enough to temporarily destroy his night vision long enough for you to get away; and, if that doesn’t work, both ends of the light are notched striking surfaces. That surface will not only do substantial damage to skin, it will leave a distinctive mark on the attacker that the police will be able to recognize.
The case is made of super strong military spec aluminum and o-ring sealed for water resistence. The lens is thick tempered Pyrex glass, and designed to withstand the shock of hard use–or an intentional shot to an attacker’s forehead.
We carry one frequently, and always when we’re traveling. They make great gifts, too, for the women in your life who might need a little extra protection.
One set of batteries lasts about eleven hours. So, don’t forget to buy extras.
Using the right tool for the job is more than a cliché. Whatever the job is, having good tools makes it more pleasurable, and, we might add, easier.
