The Dandy, Micro/Mini-Pocket Snake Whip, 18-Inches long
Introducing the Dandy, a Patriotic Micro/Mini-Pocket Snake Whip, from Alex's Whip Shop!
Made in traditional USA Patriotic colors, this nylon Micro/Mini-Pocket Snake Whip has a BB loaded core, one plaited belly, and an overlay that is only 18" long (~45 cm). The last 6" (~15 cm) of the overlay is a Tapered Twist that transitions into an integrated 10" (~25 cm) Fall (with no Fall Hitch!). The whip is completed with an 8" (~20 cm) single strand cracker/popper. So its overall length is 36" (~91 cm) from Heel to cracker/popper.
The Micro/Mini-Pocket Snake Whip can easily be rolled up to fit in just about any pocket. Tightly rolled up it is about 3" (~7.5 cm) in diameter, by 1" (~2.5 cm) thick at the Heel. They crack with ease because they have been designed to be well balanced and rollout effortlessly. The lack of a Fall Hitch allows the end of the whip to smoothly pass through the air with very little resistance. These little guys are a lot of fun!
Being shorter whips, they are great for use in tight areas (like a garage or small yard). They can really be used just about anywhere as long as you are careful.
These tiny whips make a great unique costume accessory. They can also be used by Cosplayers for a fun addition to many outfits. Or simply as a one-of-a-kind addition to anybody's whip collection.

As with all my whips, it comes with three (3) extra crackers. The cracker is the part that actually breaks the sound barrier and makes a whip pop, or crack. So it will wear out over time and need to be replaced on occasion.
A word of WARNING: This is a REAL whip and can hurt you or someone nearby if not used with caution. ALWAYS use proper eye protection when using this whip. DON’T let young children play with this whip without proper adult supervision. Whips in general are NOT recommended for indoor use, but my small whips (micro-snake whips and mini-bullwhips) could be used in a garage, or other small environment as long as precautions are taken to prevent damage to nearby objects. When using it, make sure you have plenty of room around you, the whip could accidentally wrap or impact nearby objects and/or people which could cause harm or make them fall and/or otherwise get broken.
