COLD STEEL - BROOKLYN SMASHER

SPECIFICATIONS:
Weight: 2 pounds, 7 ounces
Overall Length: 34 inches
Thickness: 1.125-inch handle, 2.1875-inch tip, Injection-molded, heavy-grade polypropylene

DEFINING FEATURES: The Brooklyn Smasher has the look of any other baseball bat but can be used as a self-defense tool in an emergency. Keep one behind the front door and use one behind home plate. They are priced comparably to good wooden bats but will last longer.

MANUFACTURER'S COMMENT: "I make my own baseball bats out of super-high-strength poly. What kid, let alone an adult, wouldn't want an unbreakable bat?" —Lynn C. Thompson, president

THE SWING OF THINGS

BLUDGEONS, BATS AND BATONS CAN BE VALUABLE ADDITIONS TO HOME SECURITY ITEMS

If you're in the market for a home defense weapon that is silent, never jams, misfires or runs out of ammunition, then perhaps you might be interested in a bludgeon, bat or baton.

Do you want something techie and tricked-out, like a combination walking cane/stun gun/flashlight? Or maybe you'd prefer something like Grandpa’s trusty old blackjack? Or perhaps you really just need a flashlight and it would be extra handy if it were also a persuader.

As your weapon of choice or an addition to your arsenal, it's an investment that won’t break your bank. Keep in mind the laws in your community as your application of these items may determine their legality. Baton defense courses are available online, on DVD and, very possibly, in your town.
