Autospike.net is the official website for the AUTO-SPIKE Tire Deflation system by Spike Devil. The Auto-Spike has an accordion frame, which folds up into a small package, and when deployed, expands to assist the officer with a rapid deployment. Our Auto Lock feature (A.L.E.C.) opens up and locks the accordion frame in an expanded configuration to help better spike your target. When retrived the frame hits the curb and unlocks the frame and folds up into a small package, to not spike additional targets.

AUTO-SPIKE slides, for a covert deployment, and its camo colors, makeing it difficult to spot by the driver of the target vehicle. AUTO-SPIKE is the worlds smallest Spike system, and the only design which can fit into the bag of a motorcycle. Auto Spike frame is made from a durable nylon frame, injection molded process, which allows it to be reloaded and used again and again.

Don Kilgrow (retired Utah Highway Patrol) has been credited as being the Co-inventor of the modern day Spike System*. In 1997, it was announced that his «Stinger» had stopped 15K pursuits with a perfect safety record. Kilgrow also warned of dangerous new tactics and predicted serious incidents like the ones we see today.

Autospike is a modern spike system based on Kilgrow’s design and tactics. The same ones which stopped over 15k pursuits, with a perfect safety record. Today the Spike Devil continues the performance.

In the tabs labeled “Research and Planning” we define the risks associated with tire deflation devices. We give the history of how Spike-Strips became very popular to later develop a questionable reputation. In these tabs, we explain the features of our product and how Kilgrows system concept help make it a safer product to use. We also describe the questioned tactics, which Instructors should be very careful to look for and train around. We invite you to, take a look at our Spike Belt, a multi sided, tire deflator, if a «Goof-Proof Deflator», fits your needs.
