Grabbing someone’s testicles and other assorted "objects" with a pair of pliers is going to be a peculiar form of agony to anyone on the receiving end of such a counterattack. No vivid imagination is required. If someone wants to grapple and they are going to try to break your ankle or some other bone because they think it is "cool" or something, crush, twist and pull on one of their testes with a pair of pliers...see if that gets their attention.
I've always wondered what the hand of a mall ninja really looked like. Now I know.
This guy created a whole martial arts system around it.

Mind you by the time you got the Swisstool out opened the blade turned it over to open the other blade you probably already on your way to the next world I'd rather be 300 yrds down the road with smoke coming off my trainers . I think he does mention the use of a large mag lite , thats more like it
He advocates using a Mag lite and a Swisstool ( previously opened ) , as emergency self defence devices in a car breakdown situation . He hails from Maryland , I can see it as being a good move in some wromg side of the tracks hoods . Its a good , legally deniable system . Chris

ChrisExactly right.If you're broke down on the side of the road, and the cops roll up and see you holding a multitool and a Maglite - no big deal.Same situation, but you're holding Maglite and a big knife or a Maglite and a pistol - that could get you arrested in many parts of the USA..
Some people in certain countries over analyse ( or analyze for the benefit of those) everything .Sorry to go on its just that I cant understand why some people want to turn everything into a weapon .If you want a weapon then carry one , like a tactical knife or a gun .Dunc
When I go to work I take a pack up lunch in a plastic box Wonder how I could use that in a self defence situation ? Perhaps I could offer them a sandwich then run away while they are eating it . Or I could just take my shoe off and hit them with that .

Actually Rodion, Dunc's a brit. And there would be no way you would catch me wasting my lunch on an attacker! Man's gotta eat!

DTH, did you ever trade Samson for his SwissTool?

When I saw the title of the post I thought there was going to be a photo of Dunc caught in a compromising position with a Swisstool...

So, you advise people to go about completely disarmed and mentally unprepared to deal with aggression by casual thugs or professional criminals.That at least clarifies things..
