NOTICE, as of 6-11-21:  The older style of "Black Diamond 'Classic' Trekking Pole Tip Protectors" shown on this product have been discontinued for a few years now, and I have just run out of them.  The NEW style currently available is shown in the last photo, and this item will ship with those installed.  I will update all photos showing the new style tip when I get a chance.

Presented here is a second variation of another listing, for ONE "Patent Pending" Grade 5 Titanium (6AL-4V Alloy) Easy-Carry, Quick-Deploy Belt Keeper Carriage "Door Knocker". (also useful as a "Pill Crusher" to crush and mix your prescription medications into a liquid, for less stomach upset &/or faster absorption to ease that headache a little faster!  I use a bottle cap to crush the powder into, then mix into the water bottle to drink. "Acupressure" procedures are also possible uses for this stick :-) 

  A very large group of home delivery professionals, such as USPS Postal workers, UPS Drivers, FedEX drivers, Pizza delivery persons, etc. have to approach many households every day, and can really bruise up their knuckles over time!

  So,..... there is certainly a need for something that has a useful "door knocker" purpose for these types of jobs. This tool feels no pain, and providing a louder knock at the door should increase the customer's responce time overall.

  Carried daily and used as a benign looking practical tool, there is every reason to be carrying this in their day to day activities while on the job. Sometimes the homeowner or tenant is playing loud music, watching TV at a high volume, is on the phone, dealing with rowdy youngsters, or is distracted in any number of other ways and will not respond to the usual "knuckle" rap on the door.  (and not every doorbell works,.....mine included, or is loud enough to overcome the distraction :-)

  This door knocker can provide a much amplified "rap" on the door with the titanium tip exposed, or a slightly less sharp knock using the rubber capped end that is louder than the bare knuckle. (and pain free!)

 Over the course of days, weeks and years,......I suspect there can  be health related issues to the worker from repeated use of the their knuckles to alert the customer of their presence.

  SO,....wearing this item during their work day any of those delivery personal will not only save their knuckles from unnecessary "wear and tear" (and possibly increase their productivity by obtaining a customer's response sooner than might otherwise occur),  ....but will also b 

  It can be worn inconspicuously, with the stick hidden within the front pants pocket as shown. Carried this way it may appear to others simply a key ring belt keeper, but your fingers can easily retrieve the stick for either use as a useful door knocker.

 Also, this stick can be carried attached to your keys as shown in the last photo, by simply unsnapping the leather belt keeper to remove it,.... giving you a choice of carry modes as the item is sent. 

  NOTE:  On all of my sticks like this using a separating hose carriage, I use a little lubricant.  I am currently using just a light film of pure Silicone Grease within the carriage hose connection. This is available at most Hardware Stores in the plumbing section, and Dive shops carry it also. It seems to work very well in this application, and does not dry out as readily as Vaseline does.  It doesn't take much to get the job done, so apply sparingly! I used Vaseline initially because most folks already had it at home,......but have found the Silicone Grease lasts longer between applications, so is better suited to this use.

Thanks for your consideration, and be sure to search out the dozens of other "Ti Rod Tactical" products I hand make in the USA!
