The Mag-lite 6 and 7 D cell flashlights with a LED upgrade are really very strong, heavy and can be taken anywhere legally.
Yep, and officially they are flashlights.
This however is a baton with an inbuilt flashlight with crenulations.
I googled 'crenulations' and still don't have any idea what it is
@smuey:
I'm going to try and use it in a sentence in my every day life :D
how about
"The doctor said that it was the first time he had seen crenulations that bad"
Jon Snow to Arya Stark: "stick em with the crenulations"
oh ticklers …. for her pleasure ?
From the context, in Chinese "wolf" means pervert. So it's supposed good for girls to fight off attacks from perverts.
I believe the proper term in Chinese is "Color Wolf" which means pervert.
Technically "Wolf" is also a term for "Maniac" which fits any description of a maniac whether it is sexual maniac or otherwise.
The Aust movie Wolf Creek had the right definition all along!
lol.. Love how they did a Chinglish conversion
jesus… that thing looks intense! I'd imagine you'd need to be careful with one of these in a public place in Australia - billy clubs and similar items are deemed as weapons, no?
Seems like it might fit under "Side-handled baton" description on https://www.australianpolice.com.au/prohibited-weapons/

Only if you're law abiding otherwise you just carry a handgun.
We could try hugging the current PM with a screwdriver? :D
Defending yourself is frowned upon in Australia because you might hurt the criminals.
Thats why everyone is so safe in the US.
Thats why everyone is so safe in the US.
If you bothered to look at the statistics you would realise that they are safer when you exclude criminals killing other criminals.
Enlighten me. And since when did criminals start abiding by law. Isnt that why they are criminals to begin with?
If you kill another person, that makes you a criminal no?
And small children shooting themselves.
Defending yourself is frowned upon in Australia because you might hurt the criminals.
In Victoria you can commit armed violent robbery with guns and walk free from court with the proceeds of the crime so of course the courts will frown on you hurting their frequent visitors.

All I see is heatsink, handy carry grip and tactical non flush face for ease of location of light when placed at rest :)
You lot can interpret it as a weapon as much as you like, it doesn't make it one.
As if that's the case, we best ban dirt, as I can throw that in your eyes and temporarily blind you :P

The problem is what it was sold as, you can argue all you like but when they google it and it comes up as this you're screwed (unless you meet criteria to walk free from court).
I may or may not have purchased a number of S&W and UZI tactical pens (self defence) before finding out that these fall under various weapons categories whereas purchasing a really solidly built stainless steel pen would be ok.
Even the same could apply to the 6 or 7 D cell Mag-Lite as modern torches put out much more light in a tiny size (and I have dozens of these) and police departments replaced their older Mag-Lites as police were using them as weapons which was against use of force guidelines whereas with smaller torches they're useless for this application.
Basically anything you could use as a weapon will be used against you in court if you use it, it it has the name of a firearms manufacturer you're screwed and the same if you had a 7 D Maglite.
Buy a fountain pen. Aside from the jury perceiving you as a cultured gentleman, the ink also makes it hurt more.
That's all kinds of (profanity) up!

Smith & Wesson razor means it is illegal?
The (profanity) kind of world are we living in?
I can see multiple things where I sit that I can use as a weapon alone!
Smith & Wesson razor means it is illegal?
If it's built to have another purpose it can be used against you in court so if you had the razor with you and someone attacked you and you used the S&W razor as a rudimentary weapon because it's so well built they would argue that you had them with to use as a weapon and not to shave. If it was a Mach 3 Turbo all you would do is cut up your hand.
Same as a baseball bat in the car if you're not going to and from baseball practice.

Remember the few seconds that you had to think when something went wrong will be played back in great detail over days in court.
yeah ….. i get my cut throat razor ( technically a single edge razor ) sharpened by a barber in the city as i don't own a leather strop …… does seem wierd walking through the city with a cut throats razor in the inner pocket of your suit jacket …..
but then there are a lot of apprentice chefs carrying their knives home in backpacks from the TAFE ……
so a baton / torch is the least of your worries ….
Public place? Try anywhere. It's prohibited. So unless you have a lawful excuse (and unfortunately assaulting jv isn't one of them) you can get yourself in some serious trouble if you're caught with one.
It's controlled weapons that aren't allowed in public places, eg. Kitchen knives.
We don't have a lot of wolves here in Australia, maybe it could be renamed an anti-Roo self defence flash light?
Or renamed the 'get rooted', the #$#@-off stick
anti wolf torch! wow now i can challenge jon snow from GoT (he has anti wolf sword)
I'm holding out for the upgraded Anti Dire Wolf version.
Is that price for a pair or just 1. I'm confused with the title and description.
EDIT: didn't realise it was BOGOF
From VIC police site:
Imitation firearms and body armour are both considered prohibited weapons
Click here for a full list of prohibited weapons.
I read through it, still cannot decide whether this is legal or not…
It's definitely not an "Extendable Baton" or "Baton-Chucks" or "Bo-Chucks" or anything in that list
Found it under "Controlled Weapons" on http://www.police.vic.gov.au/content.asp?Document_ID=25574
Controlled weapons are weapons that can be possessed, carried and used for legitimate purposes but may pose a potential danger to the community.
Controlled weapons are specifically listed in the Control of Weapons Act 1990 and Control of Weapons Regulations 2011.
The following items are classified as controlled weapons:
A knife other than a knife that is a prohibited weapon;
Spear gun;
Baton or cudgel;
Bayonet; and
Cattle prod."
A person must not possess, carry or use a controlled weapon without a lawful excuse.
Click here for an information poster concerning controlled weapons.
Technically this is more a mace than a baton. lol
does 1D6 damage according to the D&D rule book.
Weighted glove is a weapon? what a joke, just take a hammer then, much powerful than those "weapon".
Bolded part is important. ie: if you can justify carrying a hammer around, it's fine. eg: tradie going to/from worksite. A tradie carrying it around to the nightclub isn't justification for carrying one.
A tradie carrying it around to the nightclub isn't justification for carrying one.
Unless he's the construction worker in a village people disco group.
it uses the term weapon not object that can be used as a weapon …. so something that is explicitly designed to be be used to injur people . not an object designed for another purpose that could be used to injur people ….. primary purpose of conceilable knife is to injur ( people or animals) as is a baton ( injur people) … primary purpose of a hammer isn't to injur people ….. nor is a kitchen knife due to the design of the blade …..it's thin unlike a hunting knife which is thick….. designed for different purposes.
To clarify to anybody who does know know much, Victoria has much stricter laws regarding "weapons" than the rest of Australia. Please consult your local laws before buying anything or doing something some guy on the internet says. I personally own some things in NSW, which would be prohibited in Victoria. When it comes to anything that can be construed as a weapon, always err on the safe side. Going to jail or even being charged for weapons offenses is much worse than a hit to your ego.
There is a very thin line between weapon and tool. Do not try and play with the line, because the police will always err on the side of weapon. I have even been briefly questioned for carrying around a 2x CR123 torch (although that was back when LED lights were very rare).
To clarify to anybody who does know know much, Victoria has much stricter laws regarding "weapons" than the rest of Australia.
Which is why it's so funny that Victoria is the crime capital of Australia and has a heavily armed criminal populous whilst the law abiding people aren't allowed to even own pepper spray.
tl;dr
If you have a Lightsaber, you don't need a Wolf Stick. :+)
100% sure you never get past customs . Its illegal in Australia.
I had purchase 2 online and Australian custom confiscation them.

So you got the warning letter that next time you try they will prosecute?
yes
need to order some and use my ex wifes' address for delivery …….
It's all fun an games until you're mauled by a wolf pack.
One of the boys on BLF modded a few of these. Build quality is not that good overall. As for carrying as a weapon look into a light like Thorfire S70 or Convoy L6 probably heavier then this. Customs shoukd let this pass seeing as it is a torch.
I personally have a 4D maglite in the car with a drop in LED.
Nice and cheap for a setup and 100% legal. I even bought the maglite from Woolies. Of course, it is purely a torch and not a self defense weapon ;)
I think the prohibited bit is arm chair opinions not based on a standard….. like the OEM windows 10 ……..
this can't be conceiled ….. it's fine, it's a torch ….. no worse than some of the big maglites, or a walking stick with a flashlight built in …..
Batons …… what defines a baton vs a handle from my trolley jack ….. heck you can even but extendible batons at the surplus shops.
If you believe this so strongly, then I encourage you to buy one then carry it around in front of the police. Please film yourself using that justification and post the video here for us to enjoy. For an added bonus, you should swing the "torch" around and say you are trying to light the area.
Then get weld a knife to a torch and say that it's not a knife with a torch, it's a torch with a paper opener. Heck, you can even buy knives from Colesworth.
Xenon headlight is more dangerous and harmful on the road than this LED torch.
Chances of this getting past customs is remote.
If it does get past customs and you were found to be in possession of this it's likely you would be charged.
Remember in Australia before importing anything ask yourself - is this fun and legal elsewhere in the world? If the answer is yes it's likely banned here.
