Acme Tornado Whistle

The ACME Tornado differs from pea whistles like the Thunderer; it contains no pea, and is known as an ‘airfast’ whistle. These are popular in many sports and they lend themselves particularly well to short, sharp blasts where they are most effective. It does require good lung pressure to get the best performance out of these whistles, but when used correctly they are very good at getting attention. As the ACME Tornado doesn’t contain a pea the sound is not as variable as whistles that do.

The ACME Tornado is one of our most popular plastic whistles as it has a number of features which make it the whistle of choice in certain circumstances. Due to the Tornado’s pealess, plastic design it is a great choice for those operating in freezing conditions. In such conditions, the pea can become stuck inside the whistle, and metal whistles can be uncomfortable in cold conditions. Due to its resilient plastic structure, the Tornado is also a fantastic option in aquatic environments and is suitable for lifeguards & swimming judges.
