- This week for Weapons Wednesday, we tested out our Spring-Loaded Batons! At KarateMart.com, we've sold automatic batons for many years, but we recently began carrying a new one that reimagines the entire way they work. In this video, I review the different types of automatic police batons we carry and put them to the test in a couple of different ways.
Check out all of our batons at www.KarateMart.com/batons
Here are the spring-loaded expandable batons reviewed in this video:

I feel like this channel is a hidden gem. Really good content and presentation. 👍🤘💪
Thank you! That is so kind of you! I really appreciate your support!
This Chanel is very underrated, I looked everywhere for a comprehensive “real” review on the durability and this was literally all I could find that wasn’t sponsored or an advertisement. I genuinely appreciate this!
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me! I really appreciate the support!
@@Karatemart I appreciate the in depth reviews! It’s also our part as the viewer to give honest and informative feedback:)
What a great little puppy! I have a westie. She always hangs with dad as well!
Great video! I love these! Really really cool Kyle !
Thanks John! Dogs are the best! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment!
I saw an advert for the new baton on twitter of all places, but I'm never sure about those sketchy links. Thanks for the clear and concise review and providing a more legitimate place to buy such things. Good channel find here.
Thanks so much for your kind comment, Herb! I really appreciate that! I hope you have an excellent weekend!

and your website is VERY easy to navigate...you got yourself a customer. Thanks.
Awesome! I really appreciate that! Thank you so much for your support! It means a lot!
Great presentation. Just what I’m looking for thank you.
Thanks Dan! I really appreciate that! I hope you are having an excellent week!
I'm actually getting one soon thanks for doing a video on them
Excellent! If you have any questions, please call our customer service team anytime! Thanks so much for watching!
nice very nice!! I like that glass break
Thanks buddy! I really like that one too. It feels really well-made when you hold it. Thanks so much for watching!
Ah dang Rascal is a cutie.
Thanks for the review.
Thanks Kyle! Yeah, Rascal is my buddy. He’s kind of a lazy dog that just sits on my lap all day. Thanks so much for watching and for your continued support! I really appreciate that!
Thank you for sharing & presentation , Both Spring Loaded Batons that you tested against the watermelons are amazing , but I think the new one is much better because it's sturdy & has some weight into it plus it has a glass breaker it will still hurt even it has a wider diameter point / head or modify the tip like grind it or replace it with a smaller diameter or make it pointy like a spear then you have a spear point & a baton . ..
I agree! The new one feels more durable as well. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Cant grind the new one
The tip needs the Ridge for the spring latch to clip onto.
I've long been searching for a replica of the spring loaded sword cane from the 1946 movie Gilda. Haven't seen one anywhere. Been looking at these automatic batons to possibly fashion one from the internals.
Any ideas or suggestions?
That’s an excellent question. Strangely enough, you are asking the right person. I’ve been working on a number of spring loaded items including a walking stick and others for the past 7 or 8 years and have had luck with some, but got held up on others. I do think you are on the right track with reverse engineering a spring loaded baton or an OTF knife. That’s actually how I started the process. However the two biggest hurdles I’ve had in the process (depending on the weapon) is the spring (length, tension, diameter, etc) and the telescoping materials. Various materials tend to telescope well at first, but eventually get dust or debris from scraping which causes them to eventually stick. Depending on how you want it to work, I would try mechanisms from the batons and OTF knives and see if you can create a prototype. I really do wish you the best. It’s so gratifying when you make a cool weapon. It’s been fun seeing a lot of the ones I designed in movies and TV shows. Have an awesome weekend!
The spring in the old one sounds
like its twice as strong as this new
model, I really like that, but the rest
of the features of the new one are
what I would be looking for:
No guard (don't need that, would get in the way
as mentioned)
Side safety switch.
Front latch.
Good Grip.
Exactly! I do wish the spring was a little stronger in the new one, but you can tell that the new one is stronger and better made.
@@Karatemart I believe it, that's
an important aspect, along with
the other cool features.
@@KaratemartHi Sir how much the Walking Stick Sword Cane and Sword Cane i interested the two swords....
@@ricskiep5952 hi Ricky! Our prices change overtime, so we don’t post them on social media. Please visit www.Karatemart.com for the current prices on those items. Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel great content. Curious how's the carry weight between the 2 batons?
Thank you! I really appreciate that! I’m out of town at a trade show right now, so I can’t check the weight for you, but there are links to the products in the video description that will allow you to see the weight of each one. If you need further info on any of them, please feel free to email or call our customer service team anytime. Thanks so much for watching!
Awesome video! You could have been a doppelganger for Sting (Steve Borden) back in the day.
You look very young, so you may or may not know, he was a wrestler back in the day for: WCW, WWE, NWA.
Thanks Todd! I definitely remember Sting, but at the time I was watching, he had bleached hair. He was an amazing wrestler! Have an awesome week, my friend!
In the video above with Rascal. What size is the black auto baton with the glass breaker and strap shown in the video? Is it the 20.5 or 26in?
Hi William! It’s been a long time since we made this video, but I’m pretty sure it was the 20.5” version. Thanks so much for watching!
Great Stuff!!!
Thank you so much! I hope you have an excellent weekend!
That doggo is super cute, can’t concentrate about that baton
Thank you! He’s my buddy! Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
This is a great automatic baton but personally I always love a good walking stick close by, I got one in Hazel and Blackthorn and I have a wild Chinese Privet growing behind building I’ve considered harvesting for another walking stick or cudgel.
Very cool! Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Thanks for this good information and for introducing us to Rascal 🙂 Question: what is the best way to defend yourself from a stray aggressive dog when going for a walk ?
Thank you! That’s an excellent question! I don’t have any personal experience with dog attacks, but I do know that my dog Rascal runs away anytime he hears a stun gun. We’ve also had numerous people comment on our channel that the sound of stun guns is the best way to deter dog attacks. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Hey Kyle, I happen to stumble across tour channel once again. Always enjoyed watching your videos on weapons and as someone who has a cold steel 16" baton that's still going strong and works perfect (aside from minor wear down of the black finish) I wanted to do a review of it sometime honestly because it's stood the test of time and has been used a lot on random objects and thrown around. I've always loved batons and have eyballed that silver finish one for years just never taken the plunge. One question I want to ask is if it is heat treated steel at all? That's a big factor for me and I'm sure you know as well as I do why heat treated steel is better and lasts longer and won't bend. Anyways sorry for writing ya a book in the comments section!😂 just glad I bumped into your channel again. Might want to pick one of these babies up sometime or see what else you have on your site.
Thanks for checking out our channel again! I completely agree with you…the heat treated ones can handle a lot more abuse than the ones that aren’t heat treated. The spring-loaded expandable baton is definitely heat treated (www.karatemart.com/spring-loaded-expandable-baton), which is why I’ve been able to test it out on cinder blocks in other videos. I hope you have an excellent weekend!
Nice! I wonder if they're legal in Australia? Most things legal in America are never legal in Australia.
However i do have a regular extendible baton (non-spring loaded) and used it to stop 3 kids breaking into my car just last month.
Oh wow…it’s good to know it came in handy for you! Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
@@Karatemart Haha! I'd like to think that these things do come in handy! I'm not one for buying something that i don't intend to use.
They're not technically legal in Australia. If you have a security level 3 licence and have the certified training through LRD you may carry an extendable baton in Australia whilst working (if your employer has written you a letter to specify you may carry one on the job) and the new spring loaded ones aren't legal but you can purchase them online in Australia. Meaning the customs won't check it coming into the country because its already here! I have a few.of each. They're great tools.but remember as an Australian, we do not have self defense rights. Its disgusting but true. So make.sure if you use it, you're as within your rights as possible and were fearing.for your life.
I forgot, if you're carrying one, it.legally.must be worn on the outside and visible to everyone around you or else you will.be charged with holding a concealed weapon. AUSTRALIA has the worst laws regarding any self defense or protective rights. Here, someone can break.into your home and hurt themselves and sue YOU! Its true and has happened. Pathetic. But someone breaks into my home or threatens my family, they will suffer greatly and I will gladly serve my time to protect my family. Things have to change.
Hello. By the way great video review you did. Looks awesome the way it opens fast. Just a question I was wondering, do you know by any chance if this automatic baton can withstand rain or underwater? Since it's a spring baton and I believe it doesn't need any lubricant if I'm correct? I live in a wet environment and people have told me that water can damage an expandable baton if it gets inside and cause the lubricant to wash away or something like that and it won't work properly anymore. But a spring baton? I'm not sure if it's water resistant. If you know, let me know. That would be great 👍
Hi! I wish I could be more helpful, but I honestly have no idea. I’ve never heard of any rusting, but I probably wouldn’t bring them underwater. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
@@Karatemart that's ok. I'll still get it. Looks cool and durable too. Guess I'll find out when I get it. Also thank you too for sharing your thought :)
Wonder why they never put a glass breaker at the tip as well seeing as how the actual deployment can be considered an impact strike. Not sure that as is it would do much unless opened under an attackers chin? Or side of the head? Dunno but these look fun
That’s a great question, Cameron. I have seen companies sell spiked tips for them before, but the problem is that they take a lot of force against the tip to close, so a spiked tip would get dulled pretty quickly. Of course there are ways to mitigate that, so with the right design, it could be cool. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Is it possible to put a stronger spring in the new baton?
It is possible, but the new baton has a weaker spring because some people don’t like how difficult they are to close when you use a stronger spring. Thanks so much for watching!
Should I get the 21 inch baton or 26 baton inch I'm worried the 26 inch baton won't fit in my pocket.
That is an excellent question! I personally prefer a smaller and more compact baton, but many people prefer a longer baton to increase their reach. It’s kind of up to your personal preference, but if you want one for your pocket, I’d get the smaller one. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
Sheeeeeeeeesh those are sick!!!!
Thank you for being such a kind person! It means a lot!
@@Karatemart Thanks so much for saying that! Keep up the good work
That is cool. Would be even cooler if that has a stun feature in it.
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
I've seen batons the length of a short, could you put a spring in those
You could, but you’d have to figure out a mechanism to trigger them to open. Plus, getting the spring exactly the right size and strength takes a lot of testing.
That a super cool weapon you have better than having a knife for self defense
Thanks Kent! Yeah, they are really awesome! Thanks so much for watching!
Do any of these batons LOCK when its extended? I see most people just swinging these things when one of the most POTENT moves is to thrust/jab with it - but I don't want it to CLOSE if I jab the attacker's head (hard surface) with it.
That’s a great question! With all of the friction open batons we carry as well as these spring loaded ones, it takes an incredible amount of force on an extremely hard surface to close them. A persons head or body isn’t dense enough to close them, so you can use them for jabs and thrusts. I hope you are having an excellent weekend!
It’s a sophisticated tap to close it you hold the grip lightly with two fingers it will close but if you’re holding the grip with a whole closed fist it won’t close it’s like it knows how it’s trying to be used
Thanks guys!!
What is your recommendation for the best weapon for someone who is small and doesn't know self defense?
Hi Matthew! I would definitely suggest pepper spray, but it’s still a good idea to learn some self-defense techniques as well. Thanks so much for watching!
Hey, I'm just wondering if you've ever tried to take them apart 🤔 I like the newer model better (without the hand guards) but the spring seems to be weaker 🤔 Maybe I'll get the older model and "MODIFY" those handles a little and thnx 😆👌🏿
That’s a great question! Yes, I have taken the tines off of the older model a number of times. It’s pretty easy. Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
@@Karatemart Ok thanks and I'll be placing an order this week 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
That's cool and all but....man... I just wish there was an automatic baton that can close it back by pressing the lever button or something else instead of hitting it on the ground. I think that should be the next and latest baton that should exist in the future. Can you imagine how awesome it would be for an automatic baton to extend and then close it back fast without hitting it on the ground. If companies would hear this idea, that would be awesome. Not sure how it would work but it might be possible maybe.
Hopefully one day! We’ve brainstormed that idea plenty of times and haven’t been able to come up with a good prototype that wasn’t MUCH larger than a standard baton. Thanks so much for watching! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
@@Karatemart glad to hear. Merry Christmas to you man👍
Thank u Brother,i am a new follower
Where Can I get one in canada? I guess they are illegal here but really what is legal now
Hi Jody, unfortunately the laws are extremely strict in Canada, so I don’t think there is any place you can purchase one there. Thanks so much for watching!
Also what size do you have, I noticed they have a 26” 21” and a 16”
As far as the spring loaded ones are concerned, those are the only sizes we have at the moment. We have additional sizes in other types of batons.
Where can I get the one with the safety lock ?
Hi Juan, all the items I show in my videos are available at www.karatemart.com. Thanks so much for watching!
Yes defencion test thank you ?
Great to have in a car in case of an emergency unlike my regular baton which needs to be waved hard to get it out lol
Sold me on it
Thank you, my friend! I hope you are having an awesome week!
such a hidden gem
and I mean the Dog!!
Lol just kidding
Lol…thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it! I hope you have a wonderful week!
Name of the song in the testing?
I’m sorry…I don’t remember the name. It is one of the free ones they give you on TH-cam Studios. Thanks so much for watching!
What size is that smaller baton, 16?
Hi! All three batons are right around 20”. Thanks so much for watching!
@@Karatemart I see, I thought it looked so small compared to the others, thanks!
How much for the glass breaker new baton
Hi PXB! Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate that. Here is a link to all of our batons so that you can check the most updated price: www.karatemart.com/batons

I like the new one, but it seems to open up just a hair slower in my opinion. I could be wrong tho
Exactly! It doesn’t open as quickly or as powerfully, but it does seem better made and stronger overall. Thanks so much for watching Josh!
@@Karatemart thank you for replying. It would be nice if y’all could find one that has good construction, is strong and opens fast that is spring activated.
If not that’s fine.
@@TexasLegionaryGuard for sure! The old one is actually made really well and has an incredibly strong spring. The new one just looks cooler. Thanks so much for watching!
@@TexasLegionaryGuard I agree, the super snappy
'open' is impressive. It's pretty obvious that this new
one is easy to close, but there is absolutely no urgency
in closing it right away or in a 'slick' fashion where
used for self defense. A thug might want to close it
quickly and hide it but the rest probably lean more
toward effectiveness. That old model looks to me
like it could break a window , just being snapped open.
Nothing wrong with the new one but I think they should
offer two models, medium/light spring, Heavy/Heavy
spring.
Do u deliver to the uk?
Hi! Unfortunately, we only ship within the United States. Thanks so much for watching!
@@Karatemartok, thanks
Is it legal in Australia?
Honestly, I’m not sure Andrew. We stopped shipping internationally because it was so difficult to keep up with all the laws in other countries. Thanks so much for watching!

So its all up to you guys whats your preference a really nice tip or a nice strong shaft 😂
Oh man…you went there!!😂 I hope you are having an awesome week!
Cute little dog
Thank you! He’s an awesome dog! I hope you are having an excellent weekend!
Add a spear point to the end
Hi! Thanks so much for watching! I've sharpened the tips before and I've also seen tips like that for sale, but the problem is that when you close the baton, it dulls the tips. There are ways around that and we've discussed possible ways of designing it so that wouldn't be a problem, but we haven't released a version like that yet. Excellent suggestion though!
Everyone who goes to the website look at the white katana
i liked it based on the cute dog
He’s my little buddy! Thanks so much for watching!
No se ustedes pero ese gatillo de activación me parece muy poco practico
NO WATERMELONS WERE HARMED DURING THE FILMING OF THIS EPISODE...
Lol…that’s pretty funny! Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it!
No bananans were harmed. Thr watermelons were smashed to bits though.
please

Really loving the baton selection, later on in life I plan to be a major supporter of you guys, been here since 2018 and I'm still ordering. 🫡
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! Your support means a lot to me. I hope you are having an excellent week!
