Who it is for

De-Escalator makes the most sense for people whose work or routine regularly puts them alone, after dark or in unpredictable situations.

It also makes sense for professionals who understand the value of the device and want the same kind of option for someone they care about.

Who it is not for

If you are looking for a $20 item to keep on a keychain for peace of mind, De-Escalator is probably not the right product. It is a $395 professional-grade device built to be carried and used like serious equipment. It is also not a guarantee. A determined or severely impaired person may respond less than expected or not at all. De-Escalator is designed to create options you may not currently have.

    DSKL8R is simple and familiar to use; just point and click

You will also use it as a flashlight.

We hope you never have to use the deterrent feature of DSKL8R. It's great to know you have it, just in case. You also have one of the most powerful flashlights available. Most lights reduce output as the LED heats up. DSKL8R is overengineered to give you 3+ hours of full output without overheating.

Buying for someone you care about

A lot of safety products ask the recipient to learn a new tool and remember to carry it. De-Escalator is intentionally familiar: it looks, carries and functions like a flashlight until the deterrent mode is needed.

If you are buying it for a spouse, student, adult child or parent, show them how it works, make sure they understand its limits, and let it become part of what they already carry.
