Metal Whistle?

[maury]

I’ve had several plastic whistles break (the nipple tip that attaches it snapped off) and would like to add a metal one to my key ring EDC. I am sure Mr. Atwood’s products are great but are out of my price range. Way out. The cheapie one from DealExtreme looks much too big and I am leery of most of the ‘no-name stuff on eBay. So: Anybody recommend a source for good, inexpensive, key ring size, metal whistles?

Usaknifemakersuply has aluminum anodized ones in Gold,Blue and Red. They're affordable at under $3 a piece

I have had one on my keychain for about 3 months and the coating hasn't worn one bit

Good luck!

Not real cheap, but EDC Knives is a dealer here who carries some neat mini Ti whistles http://www.edcknives.com/vcom/index.php?cPath=10_86

I bought two of these about a year ago. One for me and one for my wife. We really like them. And for $1.49 you cant go wrong!!

I work construction so it is normally pretty noisy. I dont have any trouble getting someones (everyones) attention when I blow this whistle.

Check out the whistles from American Whistle Co. Plated brass, USA made. Walmart frequently has them in the sporting goods section (at least they did a couple years ago when I picked up a few of them.

They are very reasonably priced (under $10, and from their website you can get a dozen for $36). They work well, too.

Thanks to all for the info! Just ordered a few from Going Gear: seem to be exactly what I was looking for........ and hey, at a buck and a half each, I figure I can't go too far wrong!

Also liked the fact that they seem to base their shippig cost on the weight of the item, rather than that miserable practice of soem outfits who want to charge shipping based on an item's price. Points for GoingGear.

Now let's see what the mail brings..............

As a former lifeguard, the Acme Thunderer is the best for relatively cheap.

This is what I have on my keychain as well, small size. Might not be the loudest, but always on my person.
