Note, I reserve five star reviews for items that far exceed my exceptions. If something does the job it was designed for well It gets four stars. Four stars is very good, five is above and beyond. This review has three parts: the BASU alarm, Amazon, and the USPS. For the BASU alarm itself, a solid four stars. Very nice, sturdy and sufficiently loud to get the attention you need. I liked it so much I ordered another one for my sister and have subsequently ordered five more for Christmas gifts. My only grip is that BASU seams to has discontinued this model which is a shame because the loops on both ends gives the user more options for deployment. I can hook the alarm to a backpack or computer bag and the other end to a fixed object and it my bag tries to “run away” the alarm will be tripped. Or I can loop it around a hotel room door knob with some paracord and have an impromptu room alarm. You can’t do that with models with a loop on just one end. I e-mailed BASU to ask if it had in fact been discontinued, but never heard back from them. Now for Amazon - five stars. The second one I ordered was shipped in a timely manor but was lost by the USPS. When it was determined my package was missing, Amazon gave me the options of canceling or re-ordering it. I chose to re-order. I re-ordered it on Sept. 30th at 7:17 p.m. and it was delivered at 3:52 p.m. the next day. Yes, less than 24 hours. THANK YOU Amazon. And to the USPS, zero stars. Enough said.

No extra batteries as mentioned in the ad but it seems to work well enough. this is why the 4 star rating. I don't know if it's 130db, I thought it would be uncomfortably loud. It's loud but not ear piercing loud. The two pieces are a rather tight fit and I hope it will loosen up over time.

I have three sets now to cover a wider circumference in bear territory. Gives me that extra warning to get the Mossburg 490 into action.

I rigged this up to my trash can to startle a nuisance black bear away, and it worked perfectly. The bear took off without disturbing my trash can as I had planned.

I bought this for work outdoors in areas with wild animals and human robbers several years ago. Haven't needed it yet, thankfully. I tried it for the first time today. Put new batteries in; it chirped for a second until I put it back together. Then it stopped and would not work again. I put more new batteries in. Nothing. For the few seconds it did work, it WAS NOT LOUD. Anyone who says it's loud is either lying or has never heard loud things like Marshall Stacks or police sirens up close. It's more likely to get you attacked for how annoying the chirp is. Not Safe. For $23, it's junk and not even heavy enough to be a paperweight. Easy to use? 50/50. I had to look up a video on how to change the batteries. Stay away from it.

This item is definitely loud but could be easier to use. The loop that is used to attach this to any keyring is way too thick. It makes it near impossible to put on or take off any keyring easily. Sometimes I want to detach it from my keyring and I am in for a ten minute project just to remove it. There is also no way to easily change a battery. It chirps presumably when the battery is low. And the chirp is as loud as the alarm. Too loud for an indication that the batt is low. When you want to open it, I wish you good luck. Wear ear protection. I had to find a specially small screw driver to pry this thing open on the edge. I was afraid it would go off and it did. The batteries still had some juice left. So while I am trying to dismantle the thing and pull the batteries out. Its blaring. It takes 2 CR1632s. So I have to buy those and I am sure the minute I put them in this thing is gonna go off again until I hopefully manage to put it back together and reinsert the key. I wish the creators of this thing thought about the maintenance of using and carrying this object on a daily basis. Looks like they only thought about the immediate use during an emergency but forgot about the everyday upkeep and switching the object to different keychains and such. Also I don't know why it appears that this object has a button on the front. The button like shape has absolutely no use so why does it exist.

I recently took the Sound Grenade on a camping trip, and it gave me peace of mind! The alarm is 130db loud and the small size makes it so easy to carry with me on my back-pack. It was easy to make a trip wire alarm with the extra hook at the bottom and set it up around my camp. The rugged design and water-resistant hold up well outdoors. It is obviously a necessary accessory for any traveler.

Buen producto, el sonido que produce si es fuerte y molesto lo que te puede dar segundos valiosos para poder salir del problema o huya el agresor, el único pero seria que le falta un indicador de bateria baja para no ser sorprendido por no funcionar en plena emergencia.

Super light weight. I bought it for a bear alarm fence when backpacking

loud and good product make

Works great! Definitely loud enough to be a deterrent to wildlife or as an alarm when you're camping!

Stupid product with low noise
