Kwik Tek W-2 Whistle With Lanyard (Red / Black)

This whistle is LOUD! My son is on a search and rescue team and needs this item when he makes a "find". It lets other team members know where to find him, so they can help with the rescue. He loved this whistle when I bought it for him. It's a great product. No problems with it. But as a side note, don't feed it to the lawn mower, becuase it is NOT lawn mower proof!! *(Yes, I'm ordering another one now!)

This is one loud whistle!! And the floating clip is pretty convenient for near- or on-water usage.

I bought this whistle, and the yellow one, to use to train my dogs. It is loud and has worked great.

***Edit***

Flipped my kayak over while the whistle was attached to the shock cording in front of the cowl to dump out the water. The whistle must have hit a rock, because it split in three pieces. I would expect a safety whistle to be a bit more durable. Lowering the rating to two stars.

*********

Not a bad whistle for the price. Not as loud as I was hoping, and it's extremely difficult to vary the volume with your air flow. I keep this clipped to my PFD when kayaking, and I was hoping to give short signaling chirps to the other boats. It's pretty much all or nothing, and all isn't all that loud.

I got this as a gift so I can't claim firsthand knowledge of its quality. But the person I gave it to said that she feels safer working a night shift with it clipped on her belt when she goes home. The whistle is loud and the clip allows the user to have it handy for possible emergencies.

Clips to you PFD. Looks good and you can hear it at a great distance. The price is good also.

Purchased as part of the earthquake emergency pack I was assembling. Great whistle. Produced loud sound without much effort. Hook at the end was perfect for clipping on to the backpack that held all the emergency supplies.

I like having this for safety and emergencies. It's light-weight, very loud, and the clip and lanyard make it convenient for pretty much any situation. I would recommend it highly to anyone needing an attention-getter!

I actually purchased this whistle to use at our school's field day. I wanted something cheap that had a great sound, and let me tell you - it was LOUD! Everytime I used it, I felt like I was going to blast my ear drums out. So for security purposes I think this would work well. However, as another reviewer remarked, I would have like to been able to adjust the volume on the whistle more.

Well, I thought this whistle was designed to work in the event of an emergency in the water. So, the first thing I did when I opened the package, was I submersed the whistle in water. Alas, hardly a sound emerged. It was definitely not audible enough to alert anyone--which was the whole point of purchasing the whistle. Don't waste your money.
