I bought it for my Maniac Cop costume, and it was excellent.

This"billy club"would put a hurtin on someone,should you need to use it. Yes,when you first get it,it smells like rubber and since it is rubber,that's what it should smell like! Once you have it awhile,the smell goes away and you have a good self defense item.

Bought as a bogo. These things stunk up my house had to leave them outside in the shed for a month. Other than that these things work great although you probably don't want to use the clip. I used the clip and was black and blue from the club bounce off my leg and hitting me as I walked. Get a holster and you will be fine.

I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box on this STINKY little beast! It made me laugh out loud when the tire smell came streaming out and punched me in the nose!!! What a hoot! All kidding aside,you will not be disappointed with this durable little smakahI recommend leaving it outside,or in a shed for a least a week,until some of the smell dies down. This is a great product to take along while walking or jogging in the neighborhood,to ward off the occasional stray dog(they seem to be intimidated by the stink too!) Having moved from thePeoples Republicof Massachusetts several years ago,I like to order ANYTHING that can't be shipped there. Buy it!

don't buy, stink to high heaven, like cheap rubber....

It broke the first day I got it that are no good at all and they small real bad I do mean bad oh and I did not get another one yet

bought three of these for my vehicles. perfect for self defense

I snipped off the belt clip. That looked like a good way to get a nasty pinch. No one wants a nasty pinch while fending off bad guys. Plus, who is going to wear something this phallic on their hip? Yes, it smells. Not forever though. I haven't had to use it yet... (You can tell because I'm writing this review from home and not from jail) but I'm sure it's tough enough to stand many impacts from someone else's face. The nubs might wear off eventually, but if that is the case you should move somewhere less violent.

Great BOGO deal! Placed them in the sun for several days to rid them of the tire smell. I gave one to my daughter for protection on college campus. The other I use while I'm walking my dogs.

Billy club works well and would definitely do its job, but it has no chinese police emblem on it and the "wrap" from the handle up is molded rubber. no wrapping of any kind. 90% rubber
