Unbreakable Umbrella is a stealth weapon that also keeps you dry

unbreakable_umbrella.jpg

Sure, this light saber umbrella may look cool, but can it chop a whole watermelon in half with one stroke? Probably not. For that, you'll need the Unbreakable Umbrella, a tough self-defense (or killer offense) tool that's also, well, and umbrella.

When we first heard of it we thought, great, an umbrella that's impervious to wind. In fact, that's not really the idea of the Unbreakable Umbrella. We have no idea whether it will stand up to a strong storm. But we do know that you can bludgeon someone with it as if it were a baseball bat, and the umbrella will remain unscathed. According to its creators, that's important because unlike a baseball bat, you can carry an umbrella anywhere without looking suspicious or "strange." And this umbrella does look surprisingly normal: it weighs just under two pounds but is supposedly as an effective weapon as a steel pipe. It costs $180, and we suggest that you get one now, while it's still legal.
