NightFox Neutral Newbie September 1, 2009 Share September 1, 2009 I have a set of golf clubs in my car so if going up north, I don't mind putting an iron next to my driver's seat. I also have a Victorinox Rescue Tool (Swiss Army Knife) which I brought back from Switzerland. The rescue tool version not only comes with a foldable blade but also a window breaker, seatbelt cutter and a saw strong enough to saw through the windscreen. Some other brothers here use baseball bat though...seen it at Autobacs....can't remember how much it costs. Those of you interested in the capabilities of the Rescue Tool, can take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zApUSw0xsRY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupperTime Clutched September 1, 2009 Share September 1, 2009 Hi bros what would you reccomend for the above esp when going up north. the baseball bat steering wheel type lock is sufficient. if you ask me though a small knife will do, maybe a penknife well placed near the dashboard in case the person tries to force one out through the window.

Ghostami 2nd Gear September 1, 2009 Share September 1, 2009 (edited) A large maglight will do the trick too.. Provided your car is like mine where there is a slot just below my steering wheel area to store it. Edited September 1, 2009 by Ghostami Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emkay 1st Gear September 1, 2009 Share September 1, 2009 guys, do make sure those items u use are properly secured in place in the car. In time of accident, they could be flying around in the cabin and cause more damage to the peoples Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car_Care Neutral Newbie September 1, 2009 Share September 1, 2009 (edited) The baseball bat, as bro AceofproZ mentioned, I think is not that "user-friendly".. lol I have one and it doubles as an anti-thrft device, the ones that you use when you go up north. Its quite heavy and you actually need to swing it back a fair bit to gain momentum before you can land a blow on the assailant. What we need is something compact, light but gives a nasty punch. I have stashed in my car are large screwdrivers (always 1 in my driver's side door compartment and 1 in the glove) and a pocket knife in my centre console... =) I think spanners are quite useful too... easy to hold and can whack the daylights out of someone.

NightFox Neutral Newbie September 1, 2009 Share September 1, 2009 A maglight is a good idea, not only can use as weapon but also especially when you need to open up the bonnet to have a look at the engine in the middle of the night. Surefire torches are good as well, imo they are even better than maglights but they are very expensive too... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostami 2nd Gear September 1, 2009 Share September 1, 2009 Ya, I agree with you, bought the maglight as it can do the job as well, cheap cheap neah, Mustafa sells $50 for the big one... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackforte Neutral Newbie September 1, 2009 Share September 1, 2009 i strongly recommend being well trained in jeet kune do first before you think of goin up north.no need weapons.your bare hands are your weapons. [laugh] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotamp 3rd Gear September 1, 2009 Share September 1, 2009 A large maglight will do the trick too.. Provided your car is like mine where there is a slot just below my steering wheel area to store it. depends in what situation / location you think you would need to use that "weapon" . singapore very safe , i think a maglight will be sufficient lah, most threatening situation you probably would encounter in singapore is maybe a road rage. if you frequent boleh land then maybe a more "kickass"looking baseball bat would be better to fend off petty crimes. But best is practice safe situation awareness lah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
