Which is better for home defense by a smaller woman the Crusher or the Smasher

I purchased both the 29" Crusher and the 34" Smasher; they are both wonderful but each has its advantages. The Crusher is shorter and lighter, which makes it easier to swing in the house. The Smasher is longer and heavier, which gives more reach and power. I am 6'0" and weight 200 lbs and if I needed a bat for self defense in the home I would definitely reach for the Crusher. If for some reason I was outside and needed self defense protection, then I would prefer the Smasher for the extra reach. I hope that helps.

is this a plastic bat? is cold steel a advertising gimmic?

Cold steel is the brand. Its injection molded polypropylene which is an incredibly durable plastic. It won't be crushed or snapped.

What is the diameter of the bat at it's thickest area?

The bat is 2 1/4" in diameter at its thickest area. (actually 2.23 inches if you calculate it using the circumference which is 7").Hope this helps.

How does Proposition 65 apply to this wood bat?

The production of most plastic products (like polypro) produces a carcinogenic gas as a by-product. Thats why you see the Prop 65 warning on so many plastic products. This is a plastic bat 👍

Heavy and solid, won't break and should last a life time. Useful for practice as the weight should build a good swing.

I got this for home defense and chose this bat for it's durablitly coupled with it's light weight. It feels like it is a quality made bat that will not break and has a non slip grip feel to it. I am older and wanted the longer bat and I do like it's length and now am thinking about other shorter bats in this same brand

Se trata de un bate muy robusto, nada mas cogerlo y sentir el peso notas la calidad. Cold Steel es una empresa que fabrica excelentes artículos para entrenamiento en defensa personal y creo que este producto va encaminado hacia esa dirección. Dicho esto, en mi opinión, considero que se trata de un bate de decoración y para dar "tranquilidad" al hogar, lo digo porque su peso es considerable al estar fabricado en una especie de pasta irrompible muy dura y una sesión de bateo con el puede pasar factura al hombro. Ya depende de las necesidades de cada uno.

Nice and Solid. A bit too heavy though The weight is still manageable for a full-grown adult male, who is big sized, as me. But even then, I can't swing it that fast. It would be quite challenging for most people, since they would be smaller than me. I give it 4 stars as a melee weapon
