SABRE Pepper Sprays, Stun Guns and Personal Alarms should be used with extreme caution. Prior to use you MUST read all packaging instructions and watch the video with warnings and instructions below. Although the strength of SABRE Pepper Sprays are guaranteed via HPLC technology, no personal safety product, including Stun Guns and Personal Alarms can guarantee your safety in the event of an attack. Further, the failure to properly use these products can result in the inability to stop an attacker. Be ready to take other countermeasures if necessary.
At SABRE, we believe preparedness is key to being confident in your safety. We want to help you prepare for the possibility of coming face-to-face with a threatening situation by sharing helpful information that can help lend an extra layer of security in dangerous surroundings. Check out our Top Ten Safety Tips as they will help you maximize your preparation and overall protection.
We’ll cover everything you need to know for how to choose a pepper spray in this video.
- Look for a maximum-strength formula.
- Consider the number of shots that a pepper spray has for protection against multiple threats.
- Consider the formula you need - it could be a spray or a gel.
- Look for a formula with ultraviolet dye. A UV dye can help authorities identify a suspect for up to 48 hours.
- Look for a pepper spray design that matches your style and needs.
- Consider what will be most comfortable for you to use. Remember, this is about you, and what suits your needs best.

Pepper sprays for home defense are a great tool to help protect your home and loved ones. Learn the various options for pepper spray to defend your home, proper storage within the home, and recommended technique for use - all to help you Make It Safe®.
1. Store it where you’ll have access – but children won’t.
2. Get comfortable with it in your hand, and take a moment to get a good grip on your pepper spray. Be sure to practice how you’d situate yourself in a moment of danger.
3. At SABRE, we say "spray and away." Hold the canister in your dominant hand, and extend that arm out in front of you. Spray ear to ear, across the eyes. Then get away, get to safety, and then call for help if needed.
Our goal at SABRE is to help with your personal safety plan, and to help educate you on how to use your new stun gun. We’ll cover how to use a SABRE stun gun in this video, from the proper way to hold it to how to maximize your safety in the event you need to use it
Personal alarms help to add an additional layer of safety for two main reasons. Number one: they can startle, disorient, and even scare off a potential attacker. Number two: they draw attention to a threatening situation, and can summon for help in case of emergency.
1. Keep it handy. It won’t do you any good at the bottom of a purse, deep in a pocket of a backpack, or way down at the bottom of your car’s center console.
2. Sound the alarm. If you have a keychain or snap clip model, simply pull the pin out. Insert the pin back in to silence the alarm. If you have a clip model, simply press the alarm button on the side. Press again to silence the alarm.
Unfortunately, there is one burglary every 22 seconds in the United States, according to the FBI’s Crime Clock; that’s around 1.4 million every year. At SABRE, our goal is to help keep you and your family safer and better protected at home and away. We’ll cover some things you need to know about home security in this video.
- What’s right for your home?
- Deter from the outside. If there’s one thing a potential home invader doesn’t want, it’s to get caught.
- Secure entryways. An open or unlocked door is how more than half of all residential burglars gain entry to a home, according to The Bureau of Justice Statistics.
- Protect from the inside. It's smart to add a layer of protection that can alert you with an alarm in case someone does attempt to enter your home.
- Last, pack a portable alarm if you're on the go or traveling.
