This is a very rustic piece, complete with flaws, scrapes and scratches.  Flexible, durable, and a case study in whipping action, this implement is named after a 1930s Nova Scotia school principal who wanted a strap strong enough to be felt through layers of clothing.  Trust us, you won't need a bare bottom to feel the hurt of the Truro Terror.

The Truro Terror is made with 1/2" thick High Grade Heavy 3 ply Conveyor Belt with rubber on both sides.   The total length including the handle is approximately 15" long and 3" wide.  There are 12 holes, each 1/2" in diameter.  The holes are not beveled (and that adds to the sting), but the outside edges of the Terror are beveled.  Many of the Terror's have the fuzz from the cord that is used to make the 3 plies.  This can be seen in some of holes and around the edges.  You can trim it out but we like to leave it natural.  It makes the Truro look more nasty and mean.

Due to the high quality rubber we use, this piece has a strong rubber smell that will go away in time. Letting it air out or sit in the sun or rubbing it with lemon juice helps. The Truro Terror can be cleaned using everyday household cleaners--you can even put it in your dishwasher (it gives the plates something to talk about). It’s backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
