text: Got in mail to-day. Very quick ship. Arrived with charge in it so that was good. Flashlight works, gives a good spark, nice and noisy, bought it for dogs on my walk. Go on a walk with my new stun gun, and a neighbor down the road was working on his car and forgot to close the gate and his pit bull ran out at me. It was in my pocket and I was not ready, but got it out, sparked it and pitty the pit bull backed off. Of course the owner also called it off, so not really a good test, but dog did look a little perturbed when it was noisily sparking. Taught me a lesson: If dogs in area have it 'ON' and in the hand while walking. In the pocket and turned off cost me time, because I was fumbling to get it out. That dog came quick. The alarm is not ear piecing, it's okay, nothing to write home about. It's well made, the price is right, so I'm very happy with it. Would recommend.
