VIPERTEK VTS-989 Stun Gun for Self Defense Rechargeable with LED Flashlight

This stun gun feels solid and well made. It’s compact enough to carry in a bag or keep nearby for personal safety. The grip design makes it comfortable to hold and easy to use. The built-in flashlight is a nice extra feature and can be helpful in dark situations. I also like that it’s rechargeable, so there’s no need to keep buying batteries. It gives me a little more peace of mind when I’m out at night or traveling. Overall, it’s a practical self-defense tool and seems like a good value for the price.

Taser sounds very powerful it's loud. Works great and the flashlight is useful I can imagine (haven't needed to use that.) Charged and bought this over a month ago and it's still ready to zap, battery hasn't drained or anything. Worth the purchase and relatively cheap. Edit; 5/17/2023; Taser still works great; I still have not needed to charge it since I bought it. I have used the flashlight on it many times it is very convenient. I also test the taser anytime I go for a late night walk, so I am very surprised that I have not needed to recharge the battery. I first bought this product on August 25, 2022. I highly recommend this taser after nearly a year of reliable use. This product was the first taser I've ever purchased and I feel as if I made the correct decision. Edit; 6/2/2023; Still haven't needed to charge it, amazing. For the first time since I've purchased it me and my brother tested it on ourselves. We both took a turn testing it on the left "cheek". We only did a very short burst/zap and goodness, you can tell if it had gone on for a second, even two it would have made me fall down/the legs go out. It felt as if I got a big prick on the cheek but a prick that makes you go forward like a cartoon saying "YOOOOUCH". it left a red spot the size of about 3 quarters put together which went away within the hour. I can personally say this would make a person think twice, even if they had a melee weapon. We took all safety precautions, and since I haven't charged it since I purchased the taser it most likely wasn't the full effect. And I had pants on, do not try this on yourself, and be safe fellas. Edit 7/17/2023; Finally have to charge it but I lost the charger It's been so long. Gonna have to find out what chord it uses to get a new one. Still a good product. Edit 6/22/2024; Got a charger a few months back, taser still working great.

I’ve always had a stun gun in my pocket whether I’m walking by myself or with my dog. My previous SG died (after 35 years!), so I shopped for a replacement. I told my husband I was shopping, and he said, “Oh! Get me one, too!” I ordered them in the morning, and they arrived the same day. They were partially charged right out of the box, so, of course, we had to “air fire” them. The crackle alone is impressive and would make any assailant think twice. As others have mentioned, the holster is pretty wimpy, but my husband likes to play with leather, so he’s going to make us new ones. I generally carry mine in my pocket, anyway, so not a big deal. I also carry a small flashlight, so not sure how much I’ll use that feature, but it’s still handy. We put them on chargers to fully charge. My husband used the charger that came with the SG. I put mine on my phone charger. Mine was done faster, so he switched his SG to his phone charger, and it, too, finished quickly. I’ll update this review in a few months when we’ve seen how well they hold a charge, but, so far, we think this was a good choice.

Works great but the holster is terrible! Tore very easily and after wearing it on belt for a few days. Needs to be upgraded to better material. Even tried sewing it back together and it only tore away again

Very safe with this now :) love it!

As advertised. Prompt delivery without prime. Easy to use. With protective carry case. Very good value for the money. Already used to scare off coyote while walking our small dog.

Vipertek VTS-989 is one of the most powerful budget friendly stun guns you can get and in Ohio, you do not need a permit to carry concealed or a license to own one. It's well crafted, does exactly what it's supposed to and I would not be remotely surprised that if an assailant is in hearing distance of something like this that they would think twice about what they're planning to do.
