A Stun Gun That Actually Fits Your Hand
Most stun guns are rectangular slabs you hold like a remote control and hope you hit the right button under pressure. The Spike takes a different approach. Your trigger finger goes through a hole in the body, your palm wraps around it naturally, and the activation button is right there under your palm. It’s a more instinctive grip — harder to drop, harder to fumble, and the two forward-facing spikes mean you know exactly where the contact points are.
At 65 million volts and 4.7 milliamps, the output is serious. The discharge is loud too — that crackling sound alone has a way of making a situation de-escalate before it goes any further. Backed by a lifetime warranty from Safety Technology, which is about as confident as a manufacturer gets.
Who This Stun Gun Is For
People who want a stun gun they can grip confidently in a stressful situation. The palm-activation design is particularly well-suited for anyone who’s worried about fumbling with a thumb button when their hands are shaking. It’s also a natural fit for smaller hands — the ergonomic grip works well across a range of hand sizes.
The Spike is popular with people who do a lot of walking alone — late-night commuters, people who walk dogs in areas that make them a little uneasy, women who want something with a confident grip that doesn’t look overly tactical. The three color options (Black, Pink, Purple) make it more personal than the average stun gun.
If you want a stun gun with a built-in flashlight, or something longer for extended reach, this design doesn’t offer those features. The Spike is compact and close-contact focused — that’s its strength.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose the Spike if you want:
- A secure palm-activated grip that’s harder to fumble under pressure
- Strong 65M volt / 4.7 milliamp output in a compact, rechargeable package
- Dual contact spikes for a clearly defined striking surface
- Lifetime warranty and a color option that suits you
Consider something else if you need:
- An integrated flashlight — look at combination stun gun flashlight models
- Extended reach — a stun baton puts more distance between you and a threat
- Distance capability — a TASER or pepper spray works at range; the Spike is contact-only
How It Actually Works
Insert your index finger through the hole in the body of the Spike — this naturally centers the device in your palm. Your remaining fingers wrap around the rubberized body. The activation button is under your palm, where it gets triggered by your natural gripping motion. The two spikes extend forward from the front of the device and serve as both the stun electrodes and a built-in striking tool.
The rubberized ABS coating gives a non-slip grip that holds up even in wet or sweaty conditions. The switch safety prevents accidental discharge while it’s in the holster or your bag. The nylon holster keeps it protected and accessible on a belt.
Recharging is straightforward — plug in the included charger cord and you’re done. No AA batteries to hunt down or replace. The lithium battery holds a charge well over time, so it’s ready when you need it even if it’s been sitting in a holster for a while.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the palm-activated trigger feel like compared to a standard stun gun?
Most stun guns have a button on the side or top that you press with your thumb — which works fine but requires deliberate button-finding under stress. With the Spike, your finger goes through a hole and the button is under your palm, so firing happens as part of your natural gripping motion. Most people find it more intuitive once they’ve held it a few times. The grip itself is also more secure — there’s less chance of it shifting in your hand.
How loud is the discharge — does it really deter people?
The discharge on stun guns at this voltage level is legitimately loud — a sharp, crackling sound that’s hard to misinterpret. The product description notes it’s “easily able to dissuade a confrontation before it starts,” and that tracks. A lot of people who carry stun guns report that activating it in the air — without contact — is often enough to end a situation. The sound signals clearly that you have something with real output.
How long does the rechargeable battery last between charges?
Lithium batteries in stun guns hold a charge well over extended periods without regular use — weeks or months of standby time is typical. If you’re carrying it daily, a monthly top-up charge is a reasonable habit. The included charger cord plugs in simply, and a full charge doesn’t take long. There’s no battery replacement to worry about, which is one of the practical advantages of rechargeable units.
What does the lifetime warranty cover?
The lifetime warranty from Safety Technology covers manufacturer defects in materials and workmanship. It’s a genuine lifetime warranty — not a limited-year policy. If there’s a problem with how the unit was made, Safety Technology stands behind it. Normal wear, accidental damage, or misuse aren’t typically covered under warranty, but for a product you’re trusting to work when you need it, a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer means something.
