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.
