The ASP Friction Loc Baton in 16 inches, black chrome with a foam grip, is an intermediate force tool built to the standard that law enforcement agencies have trusted for decades (ASP part no. 52211). It expands with a sharp flick straight up or straight down, and each inner shaft locks rigidly in place on a precision friction taper. To close it, you strike the tip sharply downward on a hard surface such as concrete. Black chrome is ASP’s most durable and corrosion-resistant black baton finish. The foam grip is comfortable in the hand, and the 16-inch length carries easily on a belt.
