Is This a Weapon or Lifesaving Tool? | Stinger Tools KET-1 Review

[@hard2hurt]

Question for Viewers: Do you think you could break a board with the little one?

[@Augusto_Caten]

Yes

[@Augusto_Caten]

but it would require practice, like everything

[@144avery]

Naw. Butterfingers.

[@christophervelez1561]

too easy

[@Japs_Eye_Of_The_Tiger]

you hit the centre of the board - the big guy hit the edge. big difference.

[@enoughofyourkoicarp]

Icy Mike as a child: "It's a nice car but what if it was also a plane and a submarine and a house and a dinosaur?" Ice Mike today: "Meh, kubatons, pfft... but what if it was bigger and also had a belt cutter and was pointier and also a flashlight and... uh... a gun? Oh Icy Mike, never change.

[@AmazonWildman]

I was an EMT for 6 years and I carried a kubaton for like 2 weeks and then a switched to a "tactical flashlight". I eventually started carrying a sidearm as it became legal in TX and had gotten into MMA early on because I felt that utilizing a firearm in my line of work had to be an absolute last line of defense or response to another gun or knife being used on me. Never had to use my gun ever but used my BJJ and MMA many times to control violent patients or parry punches thrown at me. MMA also made me totally okay with getting punched so at least one time a guy punched me and I didn't even bother to show a reaction and that was enough to defuse the situation bc he was so thrown off by my lack of reaction. It was a wet noodle punch anyways so I didn't feel the need to respond.

[@ScroDiddly]

Violent meth and pcp patients suck.

[@AmazonWildman]

[@1BlessEdYou]

@@hard2hurt Lol. Honestly, though someone as humongous as Jay isn't the sort of person who'd actually carry a kubaton, so I don't think it really changes anything in terms of "effectiveness of the kubaton".

[@scottvangasbeck9431]

Mike what if u put weights on ur wrist keep it cover i up lol

[@SaftonYT]

[@rivian2722]

jay is such a kind guy i love him

[@conker690]

I like how the smaller kubaton is a self-defence weapon that makes it harder to inflict damage lol.

[@angelsjoker8190]

For paramedics and firefighters (or anyone who wants to be on the safer legal side EDC tool), there are rescue knives with glass breaker tip and belt cutter. The blade usually has a rounded tip to not accidentally stab someone you want to cut out of any sort of entanglement, Usually, they have a very profiled grip as well.

[@Fireguy723]

As a paramedic, when I'm at work, I personally carry the "Hot Tomales" from Mean Gene Leather. Very much a fan of impact over point and edge. Very highly recommend.

[@steviek1980]

As a paramedic, I’ll buy one, and see how it goes! Still no match for the olight sr1 baton, I won’t get in trouble for flashing a bright light to defend myself...I may get in trouble if the stinger ends up in some crazy guys chest....I’d also have to fix that too!

[@booquifous7713]

I saw your bow in a previous video. I think some archery videos would be kool. Like bow for self defense / home defense.

[@TNTTestificate]

I prefer a ballista for home defence. That, and boiling oil to pour on my enemies

[@TNTTestificate]

@Man in a chair In england it's legal to kill a scotsman with a bow and arrow at midnight in a certain city, or something like that

[@allstarwoo4]

While obsolete, crossbow or bow would be better ranged defense weapon than nothing. On top of that no gun licensing. But you're going to need some practice loading arrow/bolts quickly. And if you're worried about legal repercussions a blunt tip with alot of poundage might be enough to crack a rib.

[@TNTTestificate]

@Oliver Not if you can load and fire like an Ottoman

[@nunninkav]

Well, you can take a 2000 lbs Bull Elk with a bow and arrow. I think the effectiveness of bows has been proven.

[@weshardy1063]

That is getting infected. That was the selling point for me...lol.

[@uchimatador]

Can't wait until Icy Mike gets contracted by one of these companies to make the self defense version of "The Homer"

[@hard2hurt]

I get that reference and i can't wait

[@Fitz2393]

In terms of similar small weapons in the Japanese tradition you are right about the usefulness being better in clinch or standing grappling than as a pure striking tool. Items similar to kubaton, such as jutte, were used at the end of the Edo Period mainly as tool for grappling rather than simply hitting someone.

[@phil3995]

The music added to the experience for sure

[@josegar30]

I might get that. Not for combat since I don't want to fight but it just seem a useful everyday tool

[@billyjohnson7601]

I have personally done serious damage to someone with a standard plastic kubotan. You need very little training and you can easily kill a person. They are popular for a reason.

[@elvarwinston]

I have worn something on my key chain for a long time now its a small plastic stinger its comfortable to wear on keychain you dont even know its there when you carry it. If you google "Combat stinger" you will find it i always wanted to see what you think of that one

[@xKaidoh]

You should check out the cold steel kogas. I think it addresses the issues you have with the conventional kubotan, but would probably be a lot less lethal than the stinger

[@thefeatheredfrontiersman8135]

He's given me a few ideas for designing my own kubaton. Medium steel nail, solid honey locust body and that pervy textured handle for his pleasure.

[@999jay999]

That king kubaton is visually no doubt can be seen as a stabbing tool/knife. Here in UK being seen holding one of those would just been seen as the same level as holding a knife and being dangerously offensive.

[@brottarnacke]

For breaking glass jaws... BTW, I believe a fat kubotan is called a yawara.

[@SwordTune]

Forget about it being a kubaton, just as a seatbelt cutter and glass breaker, it is really useful.

[@ryanoneill6481]

I feel like outside of the clinch, the standard, pen like kubaton is sub-optimal for hammerfists but for adding a little more weight behind punches it’s nice

[@perrenchan6600]

At what point does the kubaton turn from a self defense tool to a vampire hunting weapon? On a serious note, there is a reason why in history we made handles for swords and daggers bit chunkier and tailored to the hand for comfort and utility. If any weapon had that in mind, its most likely plausible

[@hard2hurt]

I dont think aluminum kills them lol

[@someguy2690]

Just wondering. When will you do a video about going to the body?

[@StarScream0722]

What about just punching with the stinger? Does it help like the roll of quarters is supposed to help, or are both BS?

[@SwordTune]

It's made to be light, so it probably won't add to the punch.

[@TheGroovyJones]

A roll of quarters is too much, so much extra mass it makes you much slower. A roll of dimes can turn a solid hit into devastating. You still have to know how to punch and fight etc. for it to make a difference. This thing, if it's comfortable on impact, could be close to the right mass for that tactic.

[@StarScream0722]

@@TheGroovyJones I always thought it was more for finger alignment/ to brace your hand but you learn something new every day. Cheers

[@hardcorecampinggear]

You guys are funny as hell! And the music (when it didn't break) ... perfecto!!

[@ScroDiddly]

Have you ever used a Kelly Worden impact wrench? I have started to practice with it and think it would be useful if my first 2 self defense tools can't be deployed. It's my less than lethal number 3 tool.

[@Kensei79]

Flashlight in the handle is a good idea but the sharp end should have a plastic cover that shatters on impact.

[@tamarazawada]

Love how Jay just kinda drops it down from like 2 feet high and it breaks the board :D

[@pumpkinheadghoul]

So I started looking around for something like this. I'm a pretty big guy, and my first line of defense is I look pretty intimidating. However, I'm getting old, last year had both of my knees replaced, which means I can't even kneel or crawl anymore, and if I go down, I'm not just jumping back up. In fact, if I drop something and it rolls under the couch, 9 times out of ten I'm yelling for my teenage son to come get it for me, because getting up and down from the floor is a whole other challenge now. Not to mention, as far as self preservation goes, once you've had double knee replacements, running away is pretty much out of the question. With that said, aside from carrying a firearm everywhere I go, which I'd prefer not to do, if this thing had a super bright flashlight at the other end of it, I'd be sold, and already be purchasing one for my wife, my self and our son.

[@thestonethatthebuilderrefu5231]

9:30 I also think some peoples closed fist has a smaller circle inside.... does that make sense? Like some people can grip a smaller thing?

[@dcard228]

Jay: certified kubaton master

[@Ciscvs]

You can't brak it because of the mecanics. You're doing it like a Karate reverse punch so you're using only your arm to hit it but if you switch your position like the big guy and use the whole body you can get it.

[@Atius8]

Kubatons: the new sidekick. I miss my kubaton, it looked like the one with the grip minus the glass breaker tip. It was confiscated at the airport, rip kubie :(.

Id like to see them test the kubaton myth that they were made because parker pens were too deadly to use and they wanted a less lethal tool

[@KaptainCanuck]

Firstly, it is not Kubawtawn, it is a Koobotawn. That is also NOT a Kubotan. Kubotan is a trademark of Kubota Takayuki sensei. This is just a pain/damage inflicting stick. Tak Kubota's tool was not made for damage, just to inflict pain.

[@12aguskapo]

dont know if any one has said it but... if you hold the board on those chairs you can break that thing with no major skill, it is not that good of a test. once i was in art class and we were done using some pieces of wood and had free time, and i decided i wanted to brag a bit and teach a friend how to break stuff, when it come to me to break the thicker ones i had no trust at all on any of them to hold the boards so i used something similar to the chairs, and it was sooo much easier, i even allowed the weakest boys and girls to break the thicker boards with a lil instruction from my part (maybe an inch? around that)

[@trololoev]

does this thing cutting belts? I mean it should but you never test it.

[@mikinagy6073]

I think kubatons are not as useless, as you think. I think you won't use a kubaton itself in a self defense situation, but if you learn, how to use it, you can use a pen, a stick or anything, that's shape is similar to the kubaton. But wearing a kubaton on your keychain is quite useless. The targets can be the opponents face, neck, and yes, pressure points, the problem with them is, that they are easy to miss, but when you hut them succesfully, the are painful. Really painful, but just painful. And that is my opinion on kubatons, if you are good at them and lucky, you can make pain to your opponent, but you won't make serious injuries.
