Three hardened steel tubes slide out of the handle. Closed, it fits on your belt in the supplied holder.
Why it doesn’t bend
Unlike the non-hardened version, the tubes are hardened steel, proven over millions of batons produced.
Hardened steel tubes
Very resistant to bending, even during powerful strikes. Black nickel-zinc finish resists scratching.
Friction lock
The cones lock the tubes by friction. A harder swing locks them more firmly, and also makes the baton harder to close.
German standard
Meets the German standard for telescopic batons, except for the button-unlock models.
Works with ESP accessories
Compatible with any accessory from the ESP range.
Open, lock, close
Open
Swing the handle sharply into free space. The tubes extend and lock.
Lock
The cones grip the tubes by friction. A stronger swing means a firmer lock.
Close
Hit a hard, firm surface with the tip of the baton to collapse the tubes.
