ESP® ExBTO-20 Easy Lock Expandable Baton with Push-Button Release

The ESP ExBTO-20 Easy Lock expandable baton is suitable for professional duty use as well as personal equipment. Its patented locking mechanism supports straightforward operation and allows the baton to be collapsed by pressing a button. A textured non-slip rubber grip provides secure handling, while the round end cap maintains a compact profile.

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. The release does not depend on how forcefully the baton was extended. Unlike a conventional Friction Lock baton, it does not need to be struck 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. The locking mechanism then secures them in the extended position. The H-type molded rubber handle features pronounced texturing that 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 functional and could still be collapsed 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.
