Shoreline Marine Eco Air Horn - Black, Lightweight Design (3.4 oz)

Amazon Customer: Pretty loud though. Might as well just buy a normal, cheap airhorn of the same size.

J M: Definitely works and very loud! We got it for predators of our chickens and while we haven’t gotten to use it for that purpose yet… if any horn will work this one will do the trick!

Indi: For 2 & 1/2 years since I bought my home, I've had one other house and it's been neighbors from hell. The old bag hides behind trees and video tapes me all the time so this has come in handy for when any of them decide to creep around. One shot of this blaster and EVERYONE in the community knows who's out again! Highly recommend if you have the same problem. It's stopped my problem.

Tracy: These are loud enough to make an aggressive (or as owners believes overly friendly) dog stop and back up until the owner can control them. As a result of being bit on several occasions and not necessarily wanting to use pepper spray as a first defense I cary this when I run or bicycle. The smaller unit is compact enough to fit in my running shorts pocket without annoying me. I used this three times before it ran out of juice. I had pretty good results each time. It will definitely piss off the dog owner who seem to believe their precious dog wouldn’t harm anyone and just wants to be friends - I’ve been bit 5 times and only once was the dog an aggressive breed so BS to being friends with your pooch.

I did notice that the can needs to be upright to work. The first time I used this it was mounted to my bike frame on its side using Velcro it made no noise but froze my finger. I had a similar experience when deploying it in the pocket of my running shorts.

Spinach: I wasn't in a boat so I can't say it doesn't work with water bears but I can say it didn't work for the bear in the back of the pickup truck behind my house.

CanMan: This product provided the functionality that was claimed.

However it is a dangerous device that has not been properly labeled. The United States Centers for Disease Control indicate that ‘noise above 120 dB can cause immediate harm to your ears’. This horn delivers 120 decibels.

A quarter second button press and my ears were instantly in pain and ringing. Not indicating the danger clearly on the product would be as irresponsible as not labeling a hazardous chemical.

Make sure children do not have access to this horn, and ensure that you protect your ears before use.

Also, note that the sound of the horn is very high frequency, similar to the high piercing sound a balloon makes when air is released through a flattened valve (so, not like a low fog horn).

Evelyn J.: Was tinier than I envisioned, so wasn't expecting it to be as loud as I needed. Tested it out real quick on the deck with a short burst and nearly blew my eardrums out.

Amazon Customer: Not the best quality. You've got one chance to get this on tight. If you do not it will leak all over your hand and not be as loud.

Bruce Wahler: UPDATE: I've now been using the *first* one (of five) for almost four weeks, off and on -- probably, a total of 15+ short (< 1 sec.) blasts. It still feels like the can has maybe 40% or life left; it certainly doesn't get cold when using it, which seems to be the clue that the gas is almost gone. Yes, the horn tends to loosen with use, and the loudness suffers. It needs to be pretty tight to work. I suppose one could put a little Loctite on the threads before the first use, but I just tighten the horn every time I go out. For the price and ease of carrying, I will *definitely* buy these again.

I've seen reviews of this device and others that say, "It worked a couple of times, then stopped. Won't buy it again." Here's my take.

This is a small, very portable alarm (fits in a pants pocket) that makes a loud noise to notify others that you are either in distress, or want them to stay clear. I'm using them to train my dogs -- definitely gets their attention! The output is VERY loud -- I wouldn't recommend using it indoors -- and I've used it for 5-6 short blasts (1/2 sec. or less), with no obvious signs that I'm about to run out of gas; I expect to get at...
