Personal Alarm Device
Just read an ad online (Yahoo.finance) which was touting a personal alarm device which emits a very loud alarm sound; looks like a little grenade with a pin which you pull to activate the alarm and reinsert to turn it off. Has anyone had any experience with this device. Reasonably inexpensive - 10 for $109.95USD. Sounds (no pun intended) like a sound addition to having a can of pepper spray when alone.....

I would not travel with something that looks like a "little grenade". In this day and age, no way! Also pepper spray is a non-starter in both checked luggage and cabin. So unless you are driving, forgetaboutit....

Actually it is in the shape of a teardrop which fits in the palm of your hand and has a little pin that is pulled. Thanks for your comment.

I don't use a 'personal alarm' as such, but I do occasionally use one of these

which could also be used as a personal alarm.
Since we have this topic, does anyone else use these sort of things? - or, different, better, ones?

Again, since we now have this thread, does anyone else use these sorts of things or different/better ones?

I see the OP is in the USA. When traveling within many US states, you may be allowed to take your permitted concealed carry weapon as checked luggage. Nothing will dissuade an attacker faster than Smith & Wesson.
