If I loose my dorm keys (2 of them) it costs me $300 or $150 per key. That plus a jump drive ($35 at walmart) makes my keychain work $335. MY cell costs $220 and my wallet is itilian leather and im gonna guess it cost around $40 (was a gift). Add the $10 of cash and that makes $605!

Yeah, the police around here have those retractable batons. Badass little things. Pretty sure they're standard by now for most forces, eh?

Yes they are. Nice & compact on the belt + 21" of steel when extended = :thumbsup:

How heavy is it? I always wondered about those...it seemed that if the end of it wasn't heavy enough, it wouldn't work very well.

Then again, I'm not the one whose JOB it is to beat people up, so I figured I'd ask you:p

One pound. When it's extended the weight is still focused in the handle, so it's *really* easy to swing. The striking end is ball-shaped for even impact no matter the striking angle.

Zero (Z-Row) failure rate just means that not one unit has failed in the field. Ever.

Quality, assurance, security, piece of mind all cost money.

Cheers!

are you trying to brag? this is lame, if your pda can't do what ipod can. no point of getting an ipod and even carrying it. that's the major reason I won't get an ipod.

pda = $300
cell = $150-200
used to carry my canon sd20 which = $300
money clip = $25 (lost my brand new $100 wallet)
