PEPPER SPRAY & MACE®

The Lab Certified Streetwise 18 Pepper Spray, 1/2 oz Safety Lock Key Ring is small enough to fit easily in your pocket or purse, so you can always be ready to defend yourself from an attacker. In addition to causing an attacker pain, this 18% OC defense spray swells the mucous membranes, which makes breathing difficult, and swells the veins in the eyes, causing the eyes to close. These effects can last up to 45 minutes and cause no permanent damage. Pepper Spray Key Chain Features: Compact Design Safe and Simple Locking Mechanism Twist and Press Down on the Top to Spray Attaches to Your Keys So You're Always Ready Independent Laboratory Heat Rating Certified Derived from over 4 Million SHU** Capsaicin 46% Stronger than Competing Brands Instantly repels an Attacker Incapacitates for up to 45 minutes UV Marking Dye The compact design makes this model ideal for everyday carry. The attached key ring allows you to keep the unit on your keys, purse, backpack, or belt loop so it’s always within reach when you need it. Because it is lightweight and easy to carry, many people keep it with them throughout their daily routine—whether commuting, walking to their car at night, jogging, or traveling. The safety lock mechanism is designed to prevent accidental discharge while the spray is being carried. To activate the unit, simply twist the top to unlock and press down on the actuator to release the spray. This simple design allows for fast deployment in an emergency situation while still keeping the device secure when stored. The formula used in Streetwise 18 pepper spray is derived from over 4 million SHU capsaicin and includes UV marking dye. The UV dye is designed to help authorities identify a suspect after an incident by leaving a traceable marking that can assist in investigations. 18% OC Pepper Spray Independent Laboratory Testing When it comes to protecting yourself and your loved ones, it can be difficult to determine which pepper spray products are truly effective. Many manufacturers claim superior performance, but independent laboratory testing offers a more objective way to compare products. An independent laboratory evaluates the heat of the spray after it leaves the canister and comes into contact with a target. This measurement is known as the Certified Heat Rating (CHR) and reflects the real-world potency of the defense spray. Streetwise 18 Pepper Spray has been independently tested and received a CHR of over 180,000 SHU, placing it among the hottest and most effective self-defense sprays available. In comparison, testing of several competing brands showed an average heat rating of approximately 123,000 SHU, making Streetwise 18 about 46% hotter than many competing products. For best performance, store the spray at room temperature and periodically check the safety lock and expiration date to ensure the unit remains ready for use. Laws regarding pepper spray vary by state and country, so always verify local regulations before carrying or traveling with this product.

The Mace Pepper Gun Holsters add one additional element of security to your mace pepper spray self defense pistol. Designed to complement the Mace Pepper Gun self-defense pistol, these holsters provide a secure and convenient way to carry your device while keeping it accessible when needed. Carrying your pepper gun in a dedicated holster helps protect the device, keeps it positioned consistently, and reduces the chance of misplacing it in a purse, bag, or vehicle compartment. Mace Holster Features: Available in three styles: black leather, black nylon, and pink camouflage Sturdy snap closure for secure retention Durable construction for everyday carry Comfortable design for extended wear Integrated belt loop for convenient attachment Each holster style is constructed with durability and daily use in mind. The sturdy snap closure helps keep the pepper gun firmly in place while still allowing for quick access when you need to draw the device. This balance of retention and accessibility is especially important for personal defense tools that must remain secure but readily available. The integrated belt loop allows the holster to be worn comfortably on a belt, waistband, or utility strap, keeping the device within reach while leaving your hands free. This carry option can be useful for individuals who prefer not to store their personal defense tools inside a purse or bag where retrieval may take longer. Three different material styles allow users to choose the look and feel that best matches their preferences. The black leather option offers a classic appearance with a traditional holster feel, while the black nylon version provides a lightweight and flexible alternative suitable for everyday use. The pink camouflage style offers the same practical functionality with a distinctive design that stands out while still serving its purpose as a reliable carry accessory. Using a holster can also help extend the life of your pepper gun by protecting it from scratches, impacts, and everyday wear. Keeping the device in a consistent location can make it easier to develop muscle memory for drawing and using the tool during an emergency situation. Before carrying any self-defense device, always confirm local regulations regarding possession and carry methods in your area. Periodically inspect the holster snap and belt loop to ensure they remain secure and in good condition for reliable use.

Stay prepared and protected with the Pepper Shot Quick Release Keychain Pepper Spray built for fast access and dependable performance. Designed to attach easily to your keys, purse, or bag, this lightweight pepper spray keeps protection within reach so you can respond quickly in a threatening situation. Advantage of Carrying the Quick Release Pepper Spray Keychain: 10% Oleo Resin Capsicum concentration 2 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU) 1/2 oz canister delivering approximately 6–10 one-second bursts UV identifying dye to help mark attackers Injection-molded holster with locking actuator for added safety Quick-release keychain for fast, easy access Compact design for discreet everyday carry Formulated with powerful Oleo Resin Capsicum, Pepper Shot delivers an intense burst that causes immediate burning sensations to the eyes and skin, temporary vision closure, and difficulty breathing — effects that can last up to 45 minutes and typically leave no permanent damage. This strong defensive formula is designed to create an opportunity to escape from a threatening situation while maintaining distance from an attacker. The quick-release keychain system is built specifically for speed and accessibility. With a simple motion, the canister detaches from your key ring so it can be deployed immediately when seconds matter. This design allows users to keep the spray attached to their keys during everyday activities while still having the ability to separate and aim the unit quickly if necessary. The included injection-molded holster provides additional safety by covering the actuator and helping prevent accidental discharge. The locking actuator further enhances safety by requiring a deliberate action to activate the spray, helping reduce the chance of unintended use while the device is carried in a purse, pocket, or bag. Compact and lightweight, the Pepper Shot Quick Release Keychain Pepper Spray is designed for everyday carry without adding bulk. Many users keep it attached to their keys so it is immediately accessible when walking to a car, entering a building, or traveling in unfamiliar environments. Having a defensive tool within reach can be an important part of a broader personal safety plan that also includes awareness, preparation, and avoidance strategies. Pepper spray remains one of the most widely carried personal defense options because it allows users to maintain distance while creating a strong deterrent. The UV identifying dye included in this formula can also assist authorities with identification if an attacker leaves the scene. Care & Maintenance: Check the expiration date regularly and store at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Replace your unit after any discharge or if the spray pattern changes. For best preparedness, consider practicing with an inert trainer or reviewing manufacturer guidance so you can deploy confidently if needed. Legal & Safe-Use Notes: Pepper spray laws vary by state and country. Check your local regulations before carrying. Use for lawful self-defense only and keep out of reach of children.

Keep your Mace® Brand pepper spray close at hand with the convenient carabiner model. We love this self-defense pepper spray model because it could also be used as a self-defense knuckle when your hand is wrapped inside it. Carabiner Pepper Spray Features At A Glance: 6 one second bursts Cone spray pattern 5 feet range Aluminum casing Carabiner for versatile carry options Flip top safety conceals the actuator Key ring Refillable!!! This unique carabiner-style pepper spray model is designed for people who want quick access to personal protection without digging through a purse or pocket. The integrated carabiner clip allows the unit to attach easily to backpacks, belt loops, purses, gym bags, or key rings, keeping it visible and within reach at all times. Because it functions as both a clip and a grip, the design provides a practical carry option for commuters, travelers, students, and runners. The aluminum casing adds durability while keeping the unit lightweight enough for everyday carry. Unlike bulky defense devices, this compact design is easy to incorporate into daily routines without adding noticeable weight. The carabiner loop also allows the user to wrap their fingers through the opening for a more secure hold while carrying or deploying the spray, reducing the chance of dropping the device during a stressful situation. This model delivers six one-second bursts in a cone spray pattern with an effective range of approximately five feet. The cone pattern spreads the formula across a wider area, increasing the likelihood of contacting an attacker’s face and eyes during deployment. Pepper spray works by causing intense irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory system, which can lead to involuntary eye closure, tearing, and difficulty breathing. These effects can temporarily incapacitate an attacker and provide valuable time to escape and get to safety. The flip-top safety cap covers the actuator button to help prevent accidental discharge while the unit is carried on keys or clipped to a bag. When needed, the hinged safety cap flips open quickly to expose the actuator. An orientation tab allows the user to feel the correct aiming direction without looking at the unit, which can be especially helpful in low-light or high-stress situations. Another practical advantage of the Mace carabiner model is that it is refillable. When the pepper spray cartridge reaches its expiration date or has been discharged, the OC refill can be replaced rather than replacing the entire unit. This helps extend the life of the device and makes it a cost-effective long-term personal safety tool. The design also makes it particularly popular with runners and outdoor enthusiasts. The carabiner handle allows joggers to comfortably hold the device while running without gripping a traditional canister, keeping protection immediately available during early morning or evening workouts. Mace Pepper Spray Key Ring Maintenance and Care: For reliable performance, store the unit at room temperature and periodically check the expiration date on the OC cartridge. Familiarizing yourself with the flip-top safety and actuator position can help ensure you can deploy the spray quickly if needed. Legal considerations when carrying Mace: Before carrying pepper spray, check local laws and regulations, as restrictions vary by state, country, and certain venues. Pepper spray is generally prohibited on commercial aircraft and may be restricted in some schools or government buildings. Always use pepper spray responsibly and only in lawful self-defense situations.

Many users prefer keychain-style pepper spray because it can be kept in hand when walking through parking areas, entering buildings, or traveling through unfamiliar environments. Having the device already attached to keys can improve accessibility and response time if a threatening situation arises. The quick-release key chain design allows the spray to detach quickly from the key ring when needed. This feature helps ensure that the unit can be deployed without delay while still remaining securely attached during normal carry. The mechanism is intended to balance convenience with reliable access during emergency situations. Inside the compact unit is a 10% OC (oleoresin capsicum) pepper spray formulation designed for personal defense. When deployed toward an attacker’s face, the spray can cause intense irritation to the eyes and mucous membranes. The resulting inflammation may lead to temporary eye closure, burning sensations, and breathing discomfort, creating an opportunity to escape and seek safety. The canister contains approximately 6 to 10 one-second bursts and can reach an effective distance of up to 8 feet. This range allows users to maintain some separation from a potential attacker while deploying the spray. Maintaining distance can be an important part of personal safety strategies when responding to a threatening situation. Because the unit is lightweight and compact, it can easily become part of everyday carry routines. Whether attached to keys or stored in a purse compartment, it remains a convenient defensive option for individuals who want protection readily available throughout the day. Before carrying, check local and state laws—restrictions and allowed concentrations vary across U.S. jurisdictions and internationally. Use only in lawful self-defense situations, keep out of reach of children, and never discharge toward bystanders or in enclosed public spaces. Consider practicing safe deployment with an inert trainer to build confidence using the quick-release mechanism and to ensure you can access and operate the device under stress.
