 These whistles have "balls" September 8, 2008

Acme Thunderer whistles set the standard by which all other whistles are compared. They are quality made in Birmingham, England. Police, coaches and referees use these famous whistles all over the world.
The Acme Thunderer Whistle is made from Nickel plated brass called the model 60.5. Shop around for the lowest price about $7. Acme Thunderer Nickel Plated Whistle
Acme also makes a more inexpensive plastic model #660. Black Acme Thunderer Whistle It is small, portable and easy to blow. It is tested and guaranteed to reliably produce a loud high pitch shrill. The internal ball is actually call a "pea". It is made from cork so that it is waterproof.
Acme also makes other larger lower pitch models.
Acme supplied the mates whistles in 1912 for the legendary ship Titanic used during its distress calls.
So get the best. Get a genuine Acme Whistle.

Yeah, this is the little guy that started it all, the classic. Make no exceptions. Works like a Whistle. Whistle while you work. Blow him hard.
They DO make them like they used to December 17, 2007

This is a high quality product at an excellent price. I bought these for my dad who has been a coach for 35+ years - he absolutely despises plastic whistles and was thrilled when I presented him with this one.
 It won't let me upgrade my review.... October 3, 2007

I originally gave this item a bad review because between the time I put it in my cart and the time I went to buy it, the price had gone up to something like $80. Seriously. Of course I didn't buy any at the time.
Since then, I bought four from another dealer several months ago and just bought an additional three from this seller (the first one no longer has them). While the price is slightly higher this time around - but still back to under $10 - the quality of this item is excellent and I received them so fast the regular "leave seller feedback" spot in my account won't even take feedback yet! Apparently I am not going to be allowed to change my actual star rating, so pardon me for speaking a little more loudly:
MY EXPERIENCE WITH A PURCHASE OF 3 OF THIS PRODUCT IN JULY OF 2008 DESERVES A FIVE-STAR RATING!!! The whistles are of excellent quality and they got here amazingly fast for not being sold by Amazon. No, I don't run a soccer league; I am getting them for my daughter and her friends as they head off to college.
The best whistle September 12, 2006

I first came across the Acme Thunderer in England (I think they're based in Greenwich) a few years ago. It is the most powerful whistle available... something to do with the size of the pea and the size of the chamber. It's fun to know you can get the best of something for such a modest price.
