So you are looking at the mace keychain products and are wondering if it is right for you. Needless to say finding the right self defense spray can be one of the most important decisions you can make. A weak spray may not be enough to stop an attacker, while a strong spray without the right features can be impractical and not user friendly. Below you will find a brief description of the mace keychain, and it pros and cons.

What exactly is a mace keychain?

The mace keychain is exactly what it sounds like- a keychain with mace attached to it. Usually the key chain contains the mace brand 10% pepper spray or pepper guard spray. The case is either leatherette or a hard case shell depending on your preference. The spray contains a UV die which invisibly marks your assailant. The dye stays on the skin for several days and makes it very easy for law enforcement to identify an attacker.

Mace Keychain Positives

The nice thing about this item is the sheer variety. Not too mention you have a bunch of colors to pick from, and you can be confident in finding it at night with its glow in the dark ability. The spray has a safety cap which prevents the spray from accidentally being used or form being accidentally discharged. It is available on a keychain for quick and efficient access, and can also be stores in a purse or pocket. The spray also has a pretty good range of 10 feet, and it's pretty affordable so you don't have to worry about it breaking the bank.

Mace Keychain Negatives

Some down points to this keychain is that it only comes in one rather small size. This is probably for the best, as it does not draw a ton of attention to your self defense weapon. However, if you do not have your spray in a readily accessible place, and it is stuck somewhere in your purse, you can imagine how difficult it might be to find your spray in a way that won't put you in a more vulnerable position. Also, it is important to have this item on your keychain. You don't want to accidentally lose it because it's not on your keychain, and since it's small, it can possibly be lost easily.

Final Review

Overall, this is a pretty good item to have in your self defense arsenal, and for the price you can't beat it. The spray has a lot of features that make it a good solid product. Now that we realize this, make sure to remember that this item is a keychain. You want to have it in an accessible place so that you are not muffling around in your purse trying to find the darn thing when you need it the most.
