They are extremely effective once you learn how to use them. I used to teach them in my womens SD class in back home in Germany. The women loved it because it was a tool that was so unsuspecting to the attacker. Their are dozens of ways to hold them and spin them as you strike from one point to the other.

Since they are usually on the keychains, I would show them how to hold them as they are walking to their cars, and they can still open the door with the kuboton in the ready position with one hand. The one I carry is shorty to conceal its true potential and is less likely to take up alot of space on my pocket.

I would recommend them, especially for women.
