Three Reasons To Get A Tactical Pen

[@atoadigi]

It's a glass breaker, it's also a head breaker. I love it!!!

[@rocreel1795]

As a LEO, I recommend people carry a tactical pen. Better than nothing and could save your life. I carry one both on and off duty.

[@brucewayneissupermanquinn601]

I’m a teacher, so knives , and pretty much other weapon are off limits in schools. Now, I don’t think I’ll be using my tactical pen to “Jason Bourne” an assailant. But the model I bought is very “under the radar”. Nobody would think twice about a teacher walking down the hall with a pen and some papers. I think that anything that gives me the slight edge is with it.

[@OutlawCaliber13]

I have the Kepeak one, though it's old as dirt now. lol I recently got an Atomic Bear pen. Loving that thing. Not as hefty, has a cap over the glass breaker, and just feels better in the hand.

[@101evo]

This simple device could make all the difference to your safety in so many ways. Thank you.

Post 9-11 I picked up an aircraft aluminum SW tactical pen. It’s been on every flight I take since then. It’s deadly and takes good notes.

I carried a mini mag light for years. Later I switched over to the SW tactical pen with light. I promise you, you’re going to need that light way before you need to strike an attacker. It’s way too long a tale to tell, but years ago it came in handy when the power went out in a major hotel in Chicago and the lights went out. Great story.

[@DrunkDudley]

carry a cold steel pocket shark, but sometimes also a metalic bottle opener with a karambit style handel, it has a perfect grip and can be used as a blunt striking tool, very nice, also have a metal pen with a glass breaker attached to some paracord box knot on my backpack if the situation for breaking glass was needed.

I have that Kepeak, it looks like mine. If you unscrew the glass breaker there is a handcuff key attached to it. Pretty sweet for $20.

[@timschutte6924]

I own the one with the carbide glass breaker tip on it. But they are HEAVY. Especially for a shirt pocket. I keep mine in my back pocket. Great weapon. I also have 3 knives on me at all times

[@timschutte6924]

They are heavy ! Especially the high quality ones. I carry one of these and I wear a neck knives, hip knives, kabar last ditch on my shoe and sometimes a fixed blade depending on what I'm doing.

[@Tony_Xie]

I EDC a tactical pen for 5 years. My recent favorite it’s the Stealth Pen Pro from Atomic Bear! So effective ❤

[@barrywetzel4468]

I carry the kepeak pen daily. Nice writing pen. Plus like the fact of having glass breaker. Driving truck you see alot of accidents on the road. Never know when you may have to break a window to get someone out of vehicle and to safety

My sibling gave me a never used camping kit that included a tactical pen. It's great to know how effective and convenient the tool is. Thanks! Will be carrying it around everywhere.

[@muertinix]

You stated the exact reasons I wanna get a tactical pen. Excellent

[@johnwood1010]

I have been carrying EDC tactical pens for years. Shaffer had a pink pen and I have carried that on international flights. I have black ones but when flying or anytime I am worried about scrutiny , I choose a non threatening color. I also carry a small 1,000 lumen light. These are with me 100% of the time. 99% of the time a knife with a warncliff blade.

[@BrowncoatGofAZ]

My sibling-in-law gave me a Kepeak from a kit he had bought, and I’ve carried it ever since. I haven’t had to use it (hopefully I never will), but it’s been a nice reassurance.

[@williamyoung369]

Coldsteel Pocket Shark & Takeflight bolt action tactical pen are affordable options.

[@RaymondPeckIII]

I love mine. The best aspects are first that I can carry it when traveling, including on planes, and second that it's effective yet not as serious or as likely to be turned against me. I got the one sold by Jason Hanson. I like that it has a flat thumb end. You want you thumb over the top to help prevent slipping. And the pointy end is a cap, so that it can be a sharper piercing tool than a clicky pen.

[@RaymondPeckIII]

I also normally EDC the Gerber Paraframe II. It's very easy to open one handed, to keep clean, and it's light. When I'm near a potentially aggressive human, the pen is concealed in my hand. If it's a potentially aggressive non-human animal, it's the knife.

[@stormymonday2k194]

I have one. Made from aircraft aluminum with the glass breaker point and the flat top for resting your thumb on. I carry it everywhere.

[@mikelgeren149]

[@rubinbegeja]

I carry a Hinderer Extreme Duty. Very pleased with it. It is always in my pocket and under the radar, but it mean business. Very robust and heavy duty

[@DibutilFtalat]

When in school I used to make tac-pens myself from micarta. Simple cylinder pen refill cap made of brass screwes into the micarta body, the cylinder is cut at 45° which makes an elliptic shape with the edge that can be maintained as sharp as needed. I never used it against any live object but as an emergency striker, cutter, pry tool, screwdriver it was excellent and indispensible. Oh, and with mirror-polished gold-colored elliptic mirror it looked as a very fancy and expensive writing instrument, not as a weapon. One served me for over 10 years until I lost it and made a few for friends as presents. I had versions with micarta cap as well, worked fine everywhere except as a screwdriver and it did not look as good as brass.

[@411Outdoors]

Very cool!

[@reedsponsler2563]

I carry the James Williams pen he designed for crkt. I got the grivory version very light and sharp.

[@maxlutz3674]

I carry a tactical pen by Schrade. It is sturdy and fits my hands well. One of the reasons to get it was that it survives pocket carry and does not need special care. It has a common high volume refill that last for a long time. Flimsy pens breaking in the pocket and maybe spilling some ink in the process were a real nuisance. My pens sees extensive use for writing. So far I did not have to deploy it as weapon. I still did some experiments to at least have a feeling for it and some aim. Live sparring may not be adviced. IIRC John Wick would not have killed more people in that bar if he had had a tactical pen. He killed three assailants and ran out of attackers.

[@kurtbaier6122]

I ve carried an uzi pen without the DNA cathcher for years. I removed the catcher so I can also put my thumb on the top of the pen for even more force. If you know where to position either end of the pen so that the other person’s strike will connect with it or to strike with either end after telling the person to stay back of course, or to use it on pressure points or to strike and position the person for a fight ending hold, using locks, or to cause sprains or joint dislocations or even breaks if necessary, it is a really big help.. However the pen only assists not replaces fighting skills. I also carry an old Mimi mag lite as an a second hook, jab, and striking defensive tool. Sometimes a little more blunt trauma is required. One is none two is one. Of course loudly saying stay back with your hands palms to block will show both witnesses or security cameras that you were not the aggressor for later in Court should you survive. Whether or not the defensive tool is defined as a weapon by statute it would be well to not strike the head or neck area with it. Unless the attacker has a weapon. However pressure points on those areas are fair game and effective to break contact. I will wait before using a tool or weapon in a confrontation in public during the daytime. But it will be quickly accessible. Saying stay beck and supporting that with a forceful front or side kick if they don’t, should give you time leave or follow up with more strikes if they have a non projectile lethal weapon. People with a sprained ankle can’t run after you very well. I like the video and the SW pen is nice. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks.

[@decal1751]

Combat ready has a very nice tactical pen I've had it for a few years now it looks a lot like the kepeak you have there I'm pretty sure i only paid around 8 bucks or so for it 😊

[@411Outdoors]

Indeed it is 🙂👍

[@Ron-t6j]

I like them both but the one with the glass breaker looks more weapon like and has no place to rest thumb for reinforcement in the grip. Another EDC flashlight is great but a glass breaker is a useful thing to have. Crap, just give me both! Did have a pink metallic one I lost( I like the color pink) black is a better color that's not noticeable but pink makes it look like, well you never see most weapons in the color pink accept maybe a pistol marketed for women. Great video 😊❤ . I guess that's why I carry a lot of everything. I'm the poor man's Batman.

[@1chickenpig]

The kids nick all of the pens in our house but i got a couple good solid stainless steel pens. Not as strong a a tactical pen but better than nothing in the UK a tactical pen even used in self defense would be classed as a weapon. Stay safe and out of ego battles everyone 💪 👍

[@JAY-byrd-4-29-92]

I love your channel bro! Good, relevant information. I agree with you on EDCing a "tactical" pen! They are very effective in my experience. I've used one to defend and to escape a vehicle. Dual purpose EDC items are worth investing in and carrying. I don't recommend your choice in pens cuz I have carried and lost both due to the weak pocket clip. As with anything you get what you pay for.... I'm digging my Halfbreed Hardcore Hardware Australia TWI01 pen. Got a stout deep carry clip, it's worth the extra money to me. I could get 5 of the pens you recommend and end up losing them..... If the budget pens work for you that's awesome! For me the pocket clip design is one of the most important parts of a kubaton Pen hybrid, AKA the Tactical Pen! Please pick up a pen from the land down under! I betcha you will find a new favorite tactical pen! I couldn't agree more that a flashlight is one of the best tools one can carry. Essentially the pen and flashlight are kubatons that have multiple uses. I recommend one carry both if possible. Tactical flashlights are worth their weight in gold in my experience! My Streamlight Protac was well worth the investment. The "flash and Bash" technique is very effective from experience! Either way we are discussing kubatons.

If anything all vehicles should have something on doors or something reachable to break out and or cut seatbelt’s, hanging upside down would be very difficult to get out if hurting.
