Worked perfectly in the chute. Not bulky, tough and great for up close work. Still took 8 hours to get my donkeys loaded but not for lack of a prod, ropes and plenty of verbal “encouragement”.

A very handy prod. Strong shock I carry it for self defense occasionally. Very happy. H

Stopped working after 10 months of light use. It sucks, I'm ordering and American made Hot Shot, which BTW is cheaper than this imported crap. I should have check there first instead of assuming this one would be a quality product.

My hotshot broke and I needed something quick. Took out of the package and the first thing I noticed was that the off/on switch was not labeled, which, indicates to me low quality. Tried it on myself and found the on position of the switch (up). In the chute with a stubborn cow, shock apparently too low but produces a spark. I don't wish to proceed with making phone calls, etc. Will return and buy a new motor for my hot shot which has been around for 25 years. You may want to buy to try.
