The WoodsCan Hornet rechargeable electric air horn has proven itself in the very demanding construction safety industry for over a decade.
Beyond industrial applications, the Hornet Sport air horn is an ideal piece of kit for the following recreational applications:
Canadian and US Coast Guards require that a sound signaling device be onboard boats under 20 metres in length.
With its reliability, and the fact that the rechargeable batteries don’t need charging for well over a year when unused, the Hornet Sport is the perfect solution.
What Users Are Saying
“I took a chance on this air horn with no reviews posted so far, but it’s exactly what I wanted for some added safety while backcountry camping, hiking and kayaking on Vancouver Island. I love that it’s rechargeable and it’s LOUD!”
Research has shown that bears have hearing twice as sensitive as humans, and they can be frightened off by a loud startling sound, especially one that is foreign to them. For years, air horns have proven to be effective as a bear (cougar, coyote…) deterrent by providing that loud startling sound.
Unlike bear spray, an air horn is completely harmless. It can be used as both a deterrent when you see an animal a long way off, or in a preventative way when you are concerned that one may be nearby and you simply want to let them know you are there. Neither of these can be done with bear spray.
There is still a lot of geography without cell phone coverage. Imagine how useful an air horn would be that, depending on the terrain, can be heard from a kilometre away if you need help because you are injured or lost. A search party’s efforts would be much more effective if people had an air horn to aid them in being found when lost, stranded, or injured in the wilderness.
Again, the Hornet Sport air horn is the perfect choice as it will deliver over 2,000 one-second toots on a single battery charge, even in cold weather. That’s a lot of SOS distress signals!
Sporting Events
From shotgun starts on golf courses, to surfing competitions, to paintball games, marathons and 10K races, motocross races, bike races…air horns are used in so many sporting events.
With potentially thousands at the start line waiting, reliability is the key to ensuring all these events are started and ended when they need to be.
Not All Air Horns Are Created Equal
Disposable compressed gas air horns have proven to be unreliable and are extremely bad for the environment. A single 5 oz. can will only last a minute or so at best, it may not work at all in cold weather, and its sound volume diminishes the longer you use it. It also uses an extremely potent greenhouse gas as a propellant.
The Hornet Sport rechargeable electric air horn only uses air, it will reliably deliver 121 decibels of sound for 35 minutes per battery charge and the sound volume will not diminish, even in cold weather.
This gives you the freedom to not have to use the Hornet sparingly, nor worry that it will let you down at a crucial moment.
