Absoloutely LOVE the Nex batons. They're beautiful, well-crafted, and fully-functional. I have this exact one for concealment, and I have the 39 inch for those hit-the-fan situations.
@@LordVulcan93 I am considering getting the 39 inch one. I'm also ok interested in picking up one of the ones with the flashlights on the end. Thanks for watching!
Just wanted to point out that there is actually a significant difference between these (nex walker baton) and the other rubber handle version (nex quicker duty baton) you mentioned. These (walker) are geared toward a lighter use case, whereas the "quicker" models are much more robust "duty" level batons that are meant for harder use. The batons that you see in the videos of them beating them against concrete and generally abusing them are actually the nex quicker duty batons with the rubber handle grip.
I have seen a couple of the Walker models beat against concrete and brick breaking them, and they still retract. In the end if it protects me and breaks I’m ok with it. I’ll just buy another.
@meltdown537 i purchased the 39 inch nex riot baton from baton warehouse, i also have the smith & wesson pocket baton & the 26 inch smith & wesson baton, highly recommend those. Tough as nails & a more affordable option.
I used to have a really small friction lock from smith and Wesson. It was pretty tough. I ended up giving it to a buddy. I really want the 39 inch riot baton! That thing looks like a beast. It has some cool accessories too. Thanks for watching!
@@preacherman9018 this is the nex walker. You can take a look here though: batonwarehouse.com/collections/smith-wesson-batons?gclid=Cj0KCQjwoK2mBhDzARIsADGbjeqKSMvhoYrCmjTiAenFf49qTrQ23TQlHo4f1_StZtBHrhdLICieT3waAlCdEALw_wcB I hope you find what you are looking for!
I purchased a NEX Walker 20 off the same website. Those people are fast. It took only two days for the baton to arrive. It is a quality product to be sure. There is some wobble to the extended baton but the high quality feel of it gives you confidence. Though manufactured in China, the manufacturer could not and would not be selling ineffective, flimsy expandable batons to the local police force. Just wouldn't happen. What I wanted most was the light weight and it does not disappoint. It is heavy enough to feel sturdy and durable but not so heavy that it discourages you from carrying it. I purchased a traditional, expandable, 21-inch steel, expandable baton from the Security Guard training academy where I got my official, legal baton carrying card. However, this expandable (collapsible) baton weighs a whopping 1.5 pounds. It feels heavier than my firearm. It's not easy or comfortable to carry but it is very durable and solid. There's almost no wobble. It is a pain in the azz to collapse even with the better technique of knocking the tip on concrete at a 45 degree or less angle to loosen the sliding components. In my state, ordinary citizens may not own an expandable or collapsible baton. The exceptions are law enforcement and security guards/officers. Security guards/officers must possess a valid, non-expired, state-issued Security Guard Registration Card and a state-issued baton card. The baton card allows legal ownership of expandable and non-expandable batons. A security guard/officer in my state can only carry their batons openly on their belts and while on duty. You can't carry it on your person in civilian clothing. People in other states are much more fortunate in being legally allowed to own and carry an expandable/collapsible baton. The penalty in my state for illegal ownership of an expandable or non-expandable baton is 3 years in prison and a fine up to 10,000 dollars.
Thanks for the input! Yeah it feels sort of wobbly, but it really feels like it's part of the design and not just because it's cheap. It opens and closes so smoothly, is light and easy to carry. I just wish the company made a holster for it that wasn't brown leather. I have had some issues finding a proper holster for it because it is a little thinner than standard batons. I find it interesting that there are so many restrictions where you are. Thanks for sharing! Let me know what kind of holster you are using because this thing is a bit big to just comfortably toss in my pocket.
I may take a closer look at the Nex... I have the ASP 16" all steel Agent w/push button closure, but it's heavy and takes a good deal of force to fully deploy. We were issued the friction lock ASPs in the service, but you had to slam the tip everytime you went to close it. PITA ! From this video it appears that the Nex deploys easier...?
I have the nex walker 20 inch aluminum baton and its very good and solid. Had the 16 steel baton version but I wanted a long one and a lighter baton so I bought this 20 inch aluminum baton. However, sometimes I get a little worried of my baton getting wet like in the rain for example or it falls in the water by accident. So I was wondering, can it withstand water but still function normally also? It does says "hard wearing" but I still wonder if it can withstand water too?
That is a good question and I am not positive. I know that I had a steel baton that stopped functioning as well after it got wet. I assume that it should be ok because aluminum doesn't really rust. (although there are some steel components internally)
@@techfrank2431 in general I try to take care of my stuff. I feel like if you did get it wet you can probably get away with taking it apart and drying it out and tossing some lubricant on it.
Hey ! got a quick question , i just got the Nex 16. i just opened it and i recognized that the parts itself have VERY much play and theyre like wobbling arround. is it normal ?
I don't think they should be wobbling. It's not friction lock so they won't stick in place the same way as a friction lock baton will. So the pieces will still rotate fairly freely
@@edwardgreller well the 20 has far better reach, but is not as pocket friendly. The 16 would be more pocket friendly I suppose, but I personally feel like the 20 is a better option as far as personal protection. Ideally you want to keep a potential threat as far away from you as possible. Also the 20 is much more intimidating.
Check your local laws to see if they are legal to own where you are. www.nextorchstore.com Thats nextorch's website. I believe they are a Chinese company so I'm guessing they would ship from China, but I don't really know for sure.
Yeah that would be nice. The 26 inch is made of steel I believe so it's a lot heavier for edc use. It also helps that I am very tall to be gin with so I already have a long reach.
As long as your not doing something else your not supposed to do, and then you get caught with it. Cops don't really care, if you are found with it defending your life, I doubt a cop would charge you with it.
Finally did a review of this. Feel free to check it out here:

Thanks for the review but, do you have an older one that you can show smashing bricks ect?
I'd love to know how durable these are.
I have considered smashing some bricks with mine honestly. But its the only one I have sadly.
Pocket clip far down is for IWB carry.
How do you engage/open it? Do you press the button and then expand it?

Hi! Like the video!, does the baton fit in your pocket
Thanks for watching! It does but not comfortably. I would go a size smaller for that. It fits great in my coat pocket though.

who cares if it's legal bro the criminals don't give a fiddlers F#ck. Better to be judged by 12 then carried by six.
Hello, where did you bought it sir?
@@busterhyman6633 Exactly my mindset.

The next deploys very smoothly. I haven't tried the ASP, but I have a couple steel friction locks and this operates much smoother.
Good thing it's got that glass breaker tip, its got to be really hard to break a window with a baton without a glass breaking tip........
Right? Lol

@@edwardgreller I love my 20. I keep mine in the car. Has a nice window breaker on the end too. No problem. The place I got it had free engraving too.
Thanks again for the fantastic review @urbansurvivor
Any pocket size baton ??
They sell a 12" version that would be much more pocket friendly.
Provide the link to buy
Here you go: batonwarehouse.com/products/nex-walker-batons
They also offer free engraving btw.
Thanks for the information. Merry Christmas too you ⛄🎄
I'm.going to buy one for my husband.....
Merry Christmas to you too! I hope he likes it.
It's crazy that this got so many views! Thanks for watching everyone!! I'm going to have to do a full review soon.
The steel one is the best strong and it whistles through the air, don't think I'd like to be on the receiving end of it, definitely would break bones.
Is it the aluminum version?
Yes it is!
How do I close my beton?
That depends on what kind you have
Is there any play or wobble between the sections?
So far, no.
@@meltdown537 awesome, thanks

How to buy this baton in India
Check your local laws to see if they are legal to own where you are.
www.nextorchstore.com
Thats nextorch's website. I believe they are a Chinese company so I'm guessing they would ship from China, but I don't really know for sure.
20 inches is not enough reach imo, I would try to go with the longest model like 26 inches.
Yeah that would be nice. The 26 inch is made of steel I believe so it's a lot heavier for edc use. It also helps that I am very tall to be gin with so I already have a long reach.
It retracts
what is this?
It is an extendable baton. It's like carrying a small baseball bat in your pocket.
@@meltdown537 oh wow, did you ever batted some1 with this lol?
@@franekmmm2683 lmao. Nope. Thankfully.
Great
Thanks for watching!
Aluminum not good. Get into real fight with it and this baton cannot retract.
It's actually a very tough aluminum. I've hit it pretty hard against things and it has held up really well.
@@meltdown537
That’s good to know. I bought the steel traction baton. Heavier so it should hurt more. 😆
@@xbman1 just stay safe
Agreed
@@CarlosElPana I have beat things with it like wood and such pretty hard and it has no issues so far.
These would be like hitting a person with a car antenna!
A car antenna that can break bricks. Lol
