Other superb. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Robust whistle with strong sound *by R***E on 12 June 2025* 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Acme Thunderer 60.5 Metal Official Referee Whistle - ACME Whistle Wrist Lanyard Sold in Singles - Acme Thunderer 660 Plastic Whistle Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48065588-thunderer-60-5-metal-official-referee-whistle](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/48065588-thunderer-60-5-metal-official-referee-whistle) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
