mace PepperGuard Maximum Strength Pepper Spray

This pepper sprayer is easy to use, small enough to conceal, with a comfortable yet confident grip. It also has a safety cover over the trigger button which is spring-loaded to prevent accidental self-macing and insure the business end is facing the right direction.

I take it everywhere: Jogging, backpacking, camping, running errands, grocery shopping, and even while visiting family. You never know when they’ll get a wild hair and try something funny, ya know?

It sprays about 10 feet in a solid stream. After around 4-5 feet the stream begins to arch downward. It hits the ground at 10 feet. But pepper spray is for when you can feel their breath on your face, or at least see the crazed look in their eyes, or just the one eye, so the function is spot-on. It burns like hell for a bit. Enough to make me drop to my knees for a while and vacate my cranium of all the mucus and tears it can muster.

In a nutshell, this is a great non lethal deterrent for ne’er-do-wells and vicious animals human-sized or smaller.

I tested it a few times, once on myself. I took one for the team so you can buy with confidence.

I have it mounted on my mobility scooter for protection

self protection while walking puppy

I enjoy long walks alone, but I never felt a need for protection until my neighbor’s 96-year-old father recently went for a walk and was viciously attacked by four dogs: a Pit Bull Terrier, a Rottweiler, a German Shepherd, and a smaller dog of unknown breed. After that tragic attack, a friend urged me to carry a canister of Mace pepper spray whenever I go for a walk, so I bought this product.

This canister is well constructed with a flip-top safety cap that prevents accidental spraying. The finger grip in front self-aligns in my hand, making it easy to aim. I can’t comment on the product’s effectiveness because I haven’t used it, and I hope I never need to! Still, just having it close to hand gives me a sense of security when I’m walking alone.
