SLFORCE Personal Alarm Siren $25
One of the worst feelings in the world is when someone dear to you is going through some rough times and you didn’t know anything. It gives you a feeling of defeat that you weren’t there to help out.

EIOU Self-Defense Key Chain $9.99
One self-defense tip that experts teach us is to use your keys as a weapon. It is wrong, however, to put your keys in between your fingers. If you do this, the attacker will be too close before you can do some damage, that is if you manage to get a shot out.
The correct way to use your keys to defend yourself is to put them on a kubotan. A kubotan is a keychain derived from a small self defense weapon made of bamboo invented by karate master Takayuki Kubotan. The kubotan has since been produced using steel, hard plastic and other strong materials.
The EIOU Kubotan Key Chain is made from aviation grade aluminum. The attack head is hard and pointed allowing power to be concentrated on this end. The other end holds the key ring while the body sports a thread design for better grip.
