Review: Robust whistle with strong sound - Item promptly dispatched and arrived on time. Great for a training session I'll be running at the weekend. One less thing to worry about. Quite small but robust. Seems a powerful sound (indoors!) but have yet to test it in a large open field. I'm sure it'll be fine. Pleased so far! Happy to give 5 stars for service and product. UPDATE: 18/06/25 - Used it, as planned. Tested it on a breezy morning. Worked fine. Runners could hear whistle at 25m and 50m. May invest in a larger - louder? - model at some point, but this is perfect for what's needed at the moment. PS: Has 'Made in England' stamped on body.
Review: Looks like a good quality whistle - My son used this for his first game refereeing a football game, it sounded loud and clear.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come with a lanyard?**
A: No - we sell lanyards seperately as we have a range of them
The ACME Thunderer 60.5 is a football and general purpose whistle
Although many people want a neck lanyard, football referees want a wrist lanyard
When we sell these to factories then for Health and Safety they often have breakaway neck lanyards
We only sell a few on Amazon but the whole range can be found on our Whistleworld website

Ian

**Q: Does this contain nickel?**
A: Most chrome plated items have a nickel layer under the chrome.

**Q: why are acme thunderers so expensive?**
A: They are high quality you dont get with Chinese imports
The base metal is brass not cheap steel
They have a better finish
They are British made not made with cheap labour
