Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.
High-pitched Shrills at 115 decibels rise above background noise and can be heard up to a mile away.
100% made of high impact ABS plastic so they're 100% water resistant
There are no moving parts, so there is nothing to obstruct sound, and nothing to jam, break, or freeze.
Officials who hold the whistle in their mouth prefer CMG made of Thermoplastic because it provides a secure grip.
The sound of Fox 40 can't be overblown--the harder you blow, the louder it becomes.

Questions & Answers

Is it difficult to get it out of your finger grip? Instead of wearing it that way, I'd like to 3D print a flexible wrist grip. ?

It'll be difficult, but you should be able to get rid of it.

Is this something that can be changed?

On the fingers, it will fit and adjust. I attach a wrist lanyard between the grips with a wrist lanyard. I'm a soccer referee, and it's a fantastic system.

Is it a one-of-a-kind product?

100% original fox for the first time in history of

What kind of finger guard should you use?

I'm not sure I understand your query. The fingerguard has a whistle attached to it.

Selected User Reviews For Fox 40 Classic CMG Official Finger Grip Whistle

It's a great concept
3/5

This was purchased with the intention of using it as a soccer referee. The whistle and handle are both of excellent size. The sound of a whistle is dreadful in and of itself. For different scenarios, you can't change the volume of your whistle. If you don't blow hard enough, you'll sound like a four-year-old who is attempting to whistle with their mouth but failing. As a result, only extremely loud and high-pitched sounds are feasible. I'm guessing it's because of the bead that's missing. I would strongly advise against it. The Thunderer was mentioned in another review. That's what I bought, and it's fantastic.

LOUD and PERFECT FOR MOBILITY! For a year, I used a lanyard whistle, but I found it difficult to reach my whistle while running
5/5

I was given the opportunity to try out a colleague's finger whistle, and I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable it was. This one came in early this week after I ordered it. I've now used it to call four games and I'm very pleased with it. It's light, comfortable, and loud all at the same time! This whistle comes highly recommended from me!.

This is amazing! I can't say enough good things about this marvel of Canadian design! Due to the lack of moving parts, pealess whistles never jam or fail to shrill
5/5

Except when I'm wearing gloves (which I don't often), the finger grip fits my hand perfectly and doesn't shift or move accidentally. This means that, even when I'm running, my whistle is always right where I expect it to be. The documentation claims that the finger grip can be adjusted, but I have yet to figure out how to do so. The CMG (cushioned mouth grip) is designed to assist referees who hold the whistle in their lips or teeth, which I do not. It does, however, allow my lips to form a tighter seal, allowing more of my force of air to be pushed through the whistle. The absence of a reservoir (as opposed to pea-sized reservoirs) Water and dirt are less likely to collect and obstruct proper operation with this style of whistle. This whistle can produce a shrill volume of 115 decibels, and the best part is that it doesn't hurt the user's ears. It's impossible to blow this whistle too loudly (pea- When blown too hard or softly, style whistles can get messed up, but if underblown, they lose their effectiveness quickly. Any sports official, in my opinion, should have this whistle (or another from Fox 40 if you prefer lanyards).

The whistle is extremely loud
5/5

The whistle is extremely loud. I only purchase Fox 40 whistles when I work football games. I use mouthwash in a bowl or zip-lock bag to clean the whistle. Close the bag and soak the whistle in mouthwash to disinfect and clean it. I left it to rest for about 30 minutes. It can be done for longer or shorter periods of time, but I recommend at least 30 minutes to give it a good flavor. Rinse with water and you're ready to go.

Look no further if you're looking for a LOUD Whistle! Arrived in retail packaging and was delivered earlier than expected, which is always a plus! This is the loudest whistle I'm familiar with, which is critical as a law enforcement officer
5/5

I always get compliments on this whistle, and I believe it works as described if people in traffic can hear me use it while directing traffic. I would strongly suggest it.

The sound is crystal clear and crisp, but the construction is shoddy
3/5

This whistle is one of my favorites. It's my favorite because it has a fantastic crisp (slightly shrill) sound that I enjoy, but the cushon (padding) on the round finger part fell off after only two games. That does not make me happy. They'll have to do a better job of gluing it down.

Very good quality
5/5

I am a soccer referee who is 45 years old. I've got about one. I began refereeing when I was in college (Physical Education). I now referee over a thousand games per year. F40 is something I really enjoy. I'm not going to be able to use another one. I enjoy the sound and the fact that I am not holding anything in my hands.

Call for a hockey referee by blowing a whistle
5/5

It receives five stars because it performs exactly as expected. I am a USA Hockey official who officiates two games per week. Each week, three times. Our rink is in the open air, and this whistle is loud enough to be heard from a long distance. The finger wrap around is necessary and comfortable, and the soft grippy thing on the whistle's lip is pleasant to the teeth. Additionally, the cost is reasonable. br>br>Be aware that the sound is a little shrill compared to other whistles, but once you get used to it, it's fine. It's pealess, which means it doesn't have a small ball inside (which means fewer moving parts to break?). )br>br>It's ideal for my needs, as well as those of any other referee or official. I'd give it five stars and purchase it again.
