ESP® ExBTO-16 Easy Lock Expandable Baton with Push-Button Release

The ESP ExBTO-16 Easy Lock expandable baton combines a textured non-slip grip, compact round end cap, and patented push-button release mechanism. The Easy Lock system secures the telescoping sections in the extended position and allows them to be collapsed directly in the user's hand.

Push-Button Easy Lock Release

Pressing the button in the end of the handle and applying light pressure to the tip releases the locking mechanism, allowing the telescoping sections to slide back into the handle. Unlike a conventional Friction Lock baton, the Easy Lock system does not require striking the baton against a hard surface before it can be collapsed.

Secure Extension and Textured Grip

The telescoping sections can be extended with a swinging motion or by manually pulling out the tip. Once fully extended, the locking mechanism secures them in position. The molded rubber handle features pronounced texturing that supports a secure grip and reduces the risk of the baton slipping from the user's hand. Its round end cap provides a more compact profile than the alternative triangular design.

Tested Locking Mechanism

The manufacturer tested the locking mechanism through repeated drops and operating cycles. The baton remained fully functional after being dropped from a height of 2 m onto concrete. The lock was also tested through 6,000 extension and collapse cycles and repeated drops into mud. A black nickel-zinc surface treatment improves the abrasion resistance of the telescoping tubes.
