Testing the Worst Weapons from Wish.com

We recommend strongly against buying any self defense tools or weapons from Wish. Almost everything we got was complete junk, none of it matched the description or picture of what we ordered and some things just never even showed up. Also the entire checkout and customer service experience was sketchy and stressful.

Question for Viewers: Which one of these do you think is the worst? Which was the best?

[@bumblorsanchez8982]

Extremely anti wolf power

[@jayportland]

Okay so I thought the retractable saber was the coolest. If the sling shot was better quality then it may have been my favorite. Throwing knives, not so much. They were the worst in my opinion. But maybe that’s because I’m no good with them. The most practice in my opinion was the knights hoodie. You can use that everyday and be known as that weird guy. The wide tooth comb concealed knife was dope.

[@SemperFi_EDC_Guy]

The chain thing. Worst The sling shot/brass knucks was probably the best. They all really sucked tho. 😄

[@willowelizabethryder4141]

I like the shield most, even if it is a little boring. The worst was that weird kusarigama or whatever that was that you slashed your eye with. It's so unpredictable lol.

[@humorlessclown]

The moment at 2:25 was the best. I had never laughed at a Hard2hurt moment harder 😂

[@squidhunter_bob8608]

That slingshot channel impression at the end was next level

[@salem0048]

The needle launcher and throwing knives could be a deterrant against a non-comitted attacker, but if the attacker is commited you're basically giving them a weapon to stick you with, so yeah, worse by far. The baton, and monkey fist are probably the best, although the monkey fist needs a better handle

[@martinhafner2201]

To fix the mace, drill a 3/8" hole in the head and clean it out with denatured alcohol or 91% isopropyl alcohol. Clean all the spikes that fell out. Push the missing spikes back in, maybe use paper shims to make them stay. Then fill the head with resin (e.g. car body and fiberglassing resin). Then it is heavyier and the spikes are locked in and bedded more firmly for harder strikes. A lot of these cheap weapons just need a little tuning to make them reliable.

[@warriorwarrior4958]

Whoa...

That would make the spiked mace truly deadly. Imagine if you got someone right in the skull with a wind up over the head and a snap of your wrist on the follow through. It would look like Gallagher , except brains skull pieces and a pool of blood !
