The Byrna Banshee personal safety alarm is a pocket-size 130 dB siren with a built-in LED strobe, finished in black (Byrna part no. BM68450). Pull the pin and it sounds continuously, with the light flashing, until the pin goes back in; Byrna compares the 130 dB output to hearing a military jet take off from 50 feet away. The pin has an accidental-activation guard, so the alarm is less likely to go off in a bag or pocket by mistake. A carabiner is included for clipping it to a backpack, purse strap or belt loop where it can be reached quickly, and a finger grip doubles as a keychain loop. It is durable, water-resistant and runs on replaceable batteries that Byrna says last up to a year, a simple safety tool for students, adults, seniors and outdoor enthusiasts.
