Cold Steel (92BSTZ) Brooklyn Shorty Mini Bat, Black

Solid as a rock. Small enough to menauever around inside a vehicle. You don't want something long; you can't swing that around without hitting interior etc. This is perfect self defense non-lethal weapon. Feels as unbreakable as it claims to be. Lightweight but unbreakable. I've done countless research before purchasing this and this feels as perfect as it can get.

Had this bat since 2019 and it still holds up, it’s incredible, compact, and reliable. I’m sure this thing will last as long as I live if not more, it’s nearly impossible to damage it.

I use this for back up self-defense. The material seems indestructible and hard. I've only had to use it once and it was effective. Small and light enough to fit in my Camelbak carrier - long enough to give you the extra reach you need. Maybe could be lighter - but I guess it depends what you plan to use it for. I wish they had a 4-pack deal when I purchased this originally. Would buy again, would recommend.

I’m rating this 5 stars because of the quality of the product, but it doesn’t work for me because it’s more of a billy club than a bat. You need to be very close to whatever you hit with this length. I bought it to leave by the door in case a raccoon attacked my puppy, but I don’t want to be that close to the raccoon. Longer than a true billy club, much shorter than a bat - I’m sure it will work for something, and although it’s plastic, it’s a VERY dense plastic with enough heaviness to deliver a substantial blow. In that regard, you’d do more damage with this than with a wooden bat.

This bat is a great compact self-defense tool, the only negative reviews I saw were the handle being to thin and hard to grip for those with larger hands. There is a simple solution to this which I implemented myself. Buy some good quality duct tape (ie. Gorilla tape) and wrap the handle as many times as necessary until the desired thickness is acquired, this also helps with grip in case hands are sweaty so it doesn't slip. Problem solved. I bought this bat as a supplement to the pepper spray that I already carry. If both of those fail or don't get the job done I'll just grab my full size s&w 9mil. You definitely can't go wrong with this and I plan to buy my niece one to keep in her car.

If you're reaching for something to stop an intruder with, this bat is heavy and sturdy enough to serve. A metal rod of the same weight would likely be easier to whirl (more aerodynamic and with uniform weight distribution), but someone in good physical condition and with much practice should be able to deliver full swings with this bat swiftly and keep the bat in motion in between. The bat could be used conjunction with a knife, knife hand preventing the bad guy from pouncing before the bat swings.

Small versatile and easy to carry with a hell of a hit, best all around game changer. It's American thru and thru.

This bat is solid. I wouldn’t want to get hit with it. I hear people saying it’s a non lethal option, well it can be but make no mistake, if you hit someone hard with this in the upper body you could definitely put their light out for good. I took a minor swing at a cinder block and the block was toast, not a scratch on the bat. Like any weapon learn how to use it properly or it won’t help you.

I'm in the same boat as most of the people commenting that I hope to never need it. This thing is AMAZING. You can swing it with one hand, but the beauty is how fast you can swing it with 2. The weight of this thing is supp rising when you pick it up. It is easy to swing but it is pretty heavy and durable. It feels like some sort of composite material and not wood, but I really don't matter. I don't even know if you could cut it with an ax it feels so strong. The size allows you to keep it on a nightstand, under a seat, in a closet at the front door, or in a suitcase if you want. It would also work good playing softball or baseball with your young kids who are not ready for a full sized bat. I took a picture of it in my hand so you get a good representation of the size.

Eignet sich sehr gut, um Ungeziefer fernzuhalten :) Aufgrund der Stabilität, des vollen Materials und der kompakten Länge ist dieser Artikel besonders praktisch und handlich. Klare Empfehlung!

Très bon produit et très maniable en raison de son ergonomie ( très courte). Semble très solide, par ailleurs elle pèse un peu lourd ce qui laisse présager une utilisation efficace, notamment après s'être familiarisé au produit et compte tenu du principe de la loi de l'inertie définie par Newton, le transfert de puissance semble intéressant et non négligeable. Je n'ai pas encore eu l'occasion de la tester car je ne la destine pas une utilisation baseballistique, mais plutôt pour une approche psychosociale permettant de définir une méthodologie de résolution de conflit :-) :-)

Bate de béisbol sintético de excelente calidad, muy resistente y duradero.

I frirst bought the longer "Crusher" & was impressed...It has weight to it...which is a good thing...so, i decided i even needed the Shorty. Great Bats !!!
