These things are dangerous! A suspect can break them open simply by putting the arm of one in between the double arms of the second and prying. Yes...I've seen it.

I use the ASP handcuffs on a regular basis to restrain prisoners in a prison. Some are weight lifters and found them very reliable.

The keyholes and double locks are on both sides of each cuff. Never worry about getting them on "right" for easy release at the jail. Very lightweight also.

I like em! But if you slam them on a suspect (like you've never done it) the arm of the cuff over shoots their mark making them useless.

love my cuffs, never had any problems using them

They showed us a set of these during training. I can't wait to get my set !

I have 2 pair and I love them. With the keyhole on both sides you never have to worry about keyhole placement. Although you do have to worry about offender access to the keyhole. The double lock indicator and ability to double lock through the keyhole is a plus as is being able to remove the locking mech to clean or replace without having to replace the whole cuff.
The only way I can see to place the single arm in-between the opposing double is if you have modified the cuff with a longer chain or are having to use two sets on a big boy, neither do I recommend. Using two pair will cause them to rub and damage the polymer, therefore the structural integrity of the cuff. For that, I use my Peerless, and as to modifying, never a good Idea in my book.
I have had cuffs overshoot the channel, but never my asps, allthough nothing is fool proof. The double arms are somewhat weak sideways and prone to clamping and twisting so this is something to take into consideration. If you carry in your hip pocket, for example, the double arms can bend together causing the single arm to bind on the way through.
As with my Fobus gear, I have found you do not want to leave your asps in your car. The polymer and bonding agents don't get along well with the extreme heat and can cause a dangerous breakdown when in use.
Overall, I love my asps. A major problem is finding cases to fit. Also, you can't use a black box for the same reason, won't fit. Because of the polymer, you don't want to just throw them in the trunk to bounce around and you can't carry them in your pocket all the time either. Stay Safe

My dare officier had a pair of these olny hers were pink.

I tell you what, you will never again use your old standard cuffs. this baby is so worth the money. Light, durable, can take some serious beating, and it's easy so easy to take off. Just watch your peers, they may take your cuffs when you re not looking. Even the bad guys like them.

To GTS197, that's why I use Flex Cuffs or zip ties. Prevents 'Houdinis'

I would have to say that I love my ASP handcuffs. They are just the thing that a patrolman need out on the streets. With the locking mech. on both sides it is nice not to have to fight with your key and the subject to get them off.

I too have two pairs of these cuffs. A black pair and a pink pair.

Lightweight and user friendly, However, our local corrections officers have been using them. Now they are telling us to get rid of them because inmates are finding ways to break them. Never seen it, just heard about it. Be careful!

Lightweight, easy to use, nice having the keyholes on both sides. Mine are yellow, easy to spot if you drop them, plus unique, no one else has yellow.

Great product. The dual key holes sold me on them and there much lighter than other handcuffs on the market.

Smooth cuffing. No stiffness. Like the way it double locks.

I love these cuffs! Lightweight, strong, outstanding action and locking mech. The only draw back is they don't fit well in standard carrying gear. You are recomended to buy the ASP belt case.

Great pair of cuffs, I use the Hinged primarily and its great. Compared to the S & W, they are about an inch longer. Would recommend to anyone.

Their plastic.....enough said.

Hey these work great !
--Everytime one of my girlfriends come over, they want to use them !

God I love mine I got my set a couple months back and I have both the Peerless 500 and 700 and I will grab the ASP first over the Peerless. They are the smoothest operating cuffs Ive used and was suprised at how much easier they are to utilize.

I love mine. They are very well made. I also carry peerless and I will reach for the asp every time.

These are nice to have around I keep a pair handy in busy areas, they are easy to use and light weight, also multi colored to use as threat markers. Alot of people tell me they can't find cases for them, but I have found the Bianchi Patroltec case works just fine, also if you have a little extra room on you belt a cuff strap works great. I have used these cuffs in night clubs, and had no problem with large drunk guy breaking them, and if anyone is good at breaking stuff it's them. I also carry S&W and they are my primary, but ASP is a great back up, I have trusted ASP batons, and training guns for years and I am glad to see they are adding to there product line.

Best Cuffs every made

Absolutely the best! Can be unlocked from either side as can the double lock. This is especially useful when cuffring or uncuffing at night. The shape of the cuffs makes them fit better than standard cuffs.

I love them have them in pink as well

So far, so good. I have heard that they are easy to get out of. I have not had anybody get out of them on me as of yet. If anybody has any factual info, please send it to me! Thanks!!

Will not use. VERY easy to break. I think these are a liability to my safety as well as my fellow officers. I've seen offenders bend/break them and pull out of them in the amount of time it takes to close a door and open the utility port.

I love them. Lot lighter than the peerless. With the key holes on both sides I don't have to worry about "getting them on right" during a fight. At first, I wasn't to keen about getting the cases that fit the cuffs until I got them. I got space keys on the back of the case for easier access.

I've been using a set for about a year now, and love them. I have not had any personal problems with them, but have heard some horror stories from officers that have. Apparently there were some strength and integrity issues with some of the earlier models, however from my knowledge ASP has corrected the issues on the newer models that display yellow in the double lock area.

I don't use cuffs on a daily basis like a beat officer but when i saw these i was a little hesitant because of the "new" hardened plastic, when you think of hand cuffs you don't think plastic. But these perform very nice and like said before the double locks on each cuff is very nice and of course the quality of ASP is there too. Great product!

great product. light weight

I like the weight and the functioning of the cuffs. They are comftorable to carry and handle, but I still have great concerns over the double sided key hole. I know they say that they are "pick proof" but we all know that there is no such thing..

Our Sheriff Joe Arpaio requires all of us deputies to carry pink versions of these....love them nothing better then a drug runner with pink cuffs on

heheh i love cuffs..heheheh its the best thing to have when ur a COP

The best pair of handcuffs I have owned.

One of the Best Cuffs out there. Smooth action and with key on either side easy to us.

This is one of the best chain handcuffs I have used in my 39 years as an LEO! The price is reasonable. The action is smooth, and IT KEYS FROM BOTH SIDES!

GREAT CUFFS. ALOT MORE DURABLE THAN THEY LOOK.

I've carried S&W but recently switched to the ASP. The ASP single arm moves so much smoother than the S&W cuffs. They're lightweight and I haven't had the first problem with them

Great set of cuffs. Light weight and durable! Perfect...

I have these... in PINK. Let me tell you, putting these on an arrestee who thinks he is tough.. what a treat.

I've had these for about a year. I much prefer them to standard. Faster to cuff up, faster to uncuff. FUN to put on when they fight, flat edge makes rapid cuffing a dream, and it doesn't make me unhappy that it's uncomfortable for the mutt either. Highly recommend them. Only drawback, need a special case due to width of the cuffs, but no big deal.

I lkie my smith & wesson's

Absolutely love these cuffs. Lightweight and almost indestructable. What more can an officer ask for!

Good solid set of handcuffs. It is great tactically that it is has keyholes on both sides. It is hard to get a case to fit them unless you buy the ASP case or also Aker makes one as well. I was able to fit them into a Jaypee Bikini Case by trying out several on the rack that day and was lucky to find on that fit. Uses the standard handcuff key so that is not a problem. They are also lighter that Smith and Wesson or Perless Handcuffs.

For anyone that uses chain links, I would recommend these cuffs. It is great having the keyholes on both sides.

I've seen people break out of these. Nice idea, love the idea. But I suggest a rework of the light weight stuff

I know from experience that these cuffs are very light weight and comfortable when placed on. While in Citizens Police acadmey we where allowed the experince of a take down and we were told to strugle. These cuffs will hold up and do the job well.

I purchsed myfirst set almost two years ago. Shortly after, I purchased a second set. I work in a prison invironment and go to the ground almost daily in fights with inmates. Replacing my issued Peerless handcuffs with these was the best thing I ever did. Whenyour on the ground struggling with a violent suspect, it's nice to know that the cuffs will go on smoot as butter, and that you will always have a key hole opposite the Scrot's hands. As far as "overshooting" when slapping on, I've done it a couple tmes during struggles. However, when you slap them on you know that they will always click all the way closed for a snug fit, and not half way where the suspect can slide his hand out.

I carry these cuffs on my belt on a daily basis as a back-up to my ASP Hinge cuffs. They are lightweight and have a keyhole on each side so it doesn't matter which side is up.

they may be ok to hang as a decoration but not for duty use

GREAT PRODUCT. The ability to turn the key one way to lock and the other to disengage the safetly lock and release the handcuffs is great. I would highly recommend to anyone. Unsure about the plastic surronding the double sided strand of the handcuffs but time will tell.

Great cuffs, very managable and easy to work with.

Light weight and the keyway and double-lock channel on both sides of each cuff is exceelent for field purposes. One direction unlock is a plus. Great product. Shouls be standard issue for all departments.

I believe these cuffs to be a great product and I recommend them to anyone looking to buy a quality hand restraint.. I noticed some say they can be broken by placing one rail in the middle of the others and twisting. I have not seen this done with the asp cuff but I have seen it done with s&w. I think it boils down to the suspects determination and pain tolerance not the cuffs.

Light weight and easy to utilize.

These are the bests cuffs ever. Great action and super strong. I carry two pair.

Awesome cuffs I love them. I just wished they would fit into regural cuff case.

Don't like the size. They only fit ASP cuff cases. not real bid on the locking slide

I love my ASP hinged handcuffs they are fairly new and work wonders. Lightweight, durable easy to double lock and if needed to torque for a use of force they work wonders

Awesome cuffs, a lot more maintenance friendly and they are very sturdy.

Love these cuffs, wife got me the orange ones, and i use t epink ones on the big guys that wanna fight...they really get laughed at when they get into the jail and tehy wearin matchin pink bracelets!

Very easy to use cuffs. I use them when I am working road duties. I got the black ones and the pink ones for the punks who like to act up.

Very light weight, easy to uncuff no matter what way you put them on, and easy to know if double locked or not. Great Cuffs!

I love these cuffs. They are tuff. Worth the money.

I have several pairs. They fit from the smallest woman to the largest guy. I love them!

They are comfortable to carry because they are light but they could be easily picked and opened.

Light.. Work wonderfully... of course as they always say...

The handcuffs aren't too tight, its just cause they are new, don't worry I will let you break them in!

I had to use this in a really hurry once, and time and again they work great

It is the number one way to detain a criminal and make them think about what they have done wrong once they have been arrested.

I love these cuffs. Having keyholes on both sides really help. I'm on my second set because my first set must have grown legs and walked away. The newest set for sale is OD green plastic with flat black metal. I would recommend them.

I have used these restraints and I prefer them over Smith & Wessons

ok cuffs, but not real happy with a chain link cuff

Awesome cuffs! Reliable as hell!

I love these cuffs. I have a pair that I purchased that I made my main set. Lightweight and easy use with easy double locking features and key holes on each side of the cuffs. These are the cuffs I grab first when I need to arrest someone.

Lightweight, loose, able to lock and unlock from both sides. I have replaced issued with these. Strong and durable. VIsual indication of double-lock, no need to stoop and lean into suspect to ensure double lock even in low light!

Good old stanby equipment.

These cuffs are great.

The best handcuffs I have ever used. I had Smith and Wesson, Peerless, and Hiatt. These are the best

Best Cuffs!

There is a video out somewhere, that i was shown in my Defensive Tactics class, that shows how easily these cuffs are broken, i would not recommend them.

These cuffs are not safe. A suspect can very easily break the plastic "polymer" with a water fountain. If a suspect gets something between the 2 peaces of "polymer" its very easy to break aways from the metal hinge.

They work great so far.

Mine have worked great...so far so good

Only ones i use....love em.

So much better than the old steel cuffs. Only problem is they don't fit in the regular cuff cases.

I have the hinged version of the Asp handcuff and I really like them for the light weight and the cuff is a little bigger than a smith and wesson.

I have used these before, I love the lightweight aspect of this product. And they are still strong.

light weight and girlfriend loves them! :)

Good but the cuffs tend to bend a little when your in a bind trying to cuff someone in a hurry!

A good cuff

lightweight

I like the pink ones!

Good as long they are NOT PINK...LOL

WORKABLE........DOUBLE LOCKING IS DEFINATELY A PLUS

GTS your wrong it's not possible I've tried it myself Peerless however are capable of breaking that way. The chains don't let you put the bar into the double bar side. I carry one pair of these and one of the hinge version

I like the fact that the key hole is open on both sides.

I own a pair of these. I love them and its totally worth the money spent.

where do i find these?

A wonderful product!

I like these handcuffs but they feel alittle cheap butthey are sold at a good price

I like the colors, it helps you keep track of your cuffs, and taking inmates into court wearing pink cuffs is funny as hell!

Light weight, Two sided key release, best I have ever carried

Smooth and lightweight. Nice cuffs.

I love these cuffs. There are easy to use with the key holes on both sides. The only probem I have run into is if someone has a clue what they are doing they can be shimmed really easy.

I have a pair and will never put them into duty use. I've seen the demos of how easy they are defeated when a person with the knowledge applies it. They sit in my POV for those... just in case instances. Anyone wanting to trade a new, unused pair of Peerless just lemme know.

I have been carrying these for about a year and I have had no problems with them

I have to agree.....I have a pair of the chain and hinged cuffs...the hinge cuffs are the best I have ever used. And if you can find a ASP Handcuffing class the equipment is provided to you free of charge.

Simple response: Love 'em! Lightweight, keyholes on both sides makes them perfect for those uncooperative folks who don't want to play nice, you don't have to worry if they are on the right way so you can take them off at the jail without twisting the violators arms.

These are great for patrol work. But have seen alot of problems in prison where inamtes have alot of time to think about getting out of them. But over all good.

JUNK

I wanted these cuffs because they're lightweight and have key holes on both sides, but they're too flimsy and have reports 10-16's breaking them. plus, a career criminal can pick them due to the key holes on both sides. it sounds a little dramatic, but in my opinion, these cuffs could get you killed or hurt badly.

Great cuffs. I've never had a problem. I have two pair and just ordered a pair of the hinged.

I have two pair. Lightwieght and you can lock or unlock from both sides. Some dont like the plastic molding, but I've had no problems.

I have one pair of these already and for all the weight you can carry on the belt, stainless steel handcuffs add weight indeffinantly. These are lighter in weight and are still easy to maneuver if needed to make an arrest or to detain.

What can I say thier awesome.

Because they are lightweight, have a double and replacebale lock. Also because they are more flexible and easier to apply during a confrontation!

Love them. Easier for me to manipulate than other brands of cuffs.

I love these cuffs, I carry 3 pair on my duty belt, they feel like I am carrying 2 regular pair of cuffs.

I am issued these cuff by my department and let me tell you this!! These cuffs are a nightmare! Officer Saftey alert! These are pickable! (I will not post how to do it here....LEOs can ask me through email)

I always thought picking cuffs was some Hollywood BS, but after having these cuffs, I now know its a true hazard.

Sure the colors are hip and highspeed but these are dangerous.

Give me my S&W hindged anyday over these pieces of junk

I have had my ASP Cuffs for about a year now and find them easy to use. Light and ease of use with the keyholes on both sides. The only problem I found with them is the holders. I got the original cases when the first came out and they were bulky to say the least but now I have the open top cases by ASP a whole lot better and they come with a cuff key pouch.

I like the double sided key hole makes it easy when putting on full restrains on & removing cuffs

Okay... by far the best cuffs on the market.... IF YOU CAN CARRY THEM!!!! You have to use ASP cases or a few other brands, but they are too thick on your belt. Impossible to carry on your back without developing back problems. I carry two sets of cuffs and the double case is still too wide and bulky. They are light, have double sided key holes, colored double locking indicator, and are more comfy for prisoners (if you care about that kinda thing), but again... I can't carry them on my belt so they sit in my glove box as extra cuffs. If they can design a better double case then maybe, but until then I carry regular old, tried and ture, Peerless.

its nice

I carry this and another hinged asp cuff. They are good cuffs, however, I think the price listed ($28) is incorrect. I paid $33 for the chain linked version. The hinged asp cuffs are more expensive. Do not expect these cuffs to fit into a standard handcuff case. They will not fit. Other than that, they do the job and are easier to apply than other cuffs. Wish there was a double cuff case for these though.

Lightweight. Smoothest action yet. Can't be mistaken for somebody's S&W cuffs.

I had problems with the first set I purchased. The lock got jammed if you double locked them. The hing pin came out. But, I sent them back to ASP and they replaced them, and gave me a voucher from a new purchase. The new pair I have, I havent had any problems with

They are easy to use but I still have a love for straight cuffs w/out the chain.

I like these cuffs, however they will not fit in most standard cuff cases. If you plan on carrying these, prepare to buy yourself a new case.

I've got the Hinge version. Overall execllent set of cuffs. The best feature I think is they've got keyholes on both sides.

These are my favorite handcuffs. Very easy to work with.

I really like them thay can be double locked by key. Key access on both sides. My only complaint is they dont fit is a regular cuff case.

They are light weight and easy to use. the key on both sides is handy. The single turn unlock comes in handy as well. The roller bearings make it quick and safe in application. I carry chains at work and hinge off duty. They conceal easily in a pocket without dragging it down. As everyone else said, the downfall is that they don't fit regular cuff cases. ASP does make leather now so that helped.

Absolutely awesome cuffs.

I'm old school solid STEEL ALL THE WAY. Good for kiddies.... Do they come with keys??????

I love these, much easier to use than in previous years!

I carry two pairs on my duty belt. they are lite weight. easy to use and I haven't had any problems with them.

Great cuffs I really enjoy the extra large cuff size. They also come in different colors to kinda put some fun in cuffing the bad guy plus they are easy to find and ID yours when they get mixed up with others.

Great cuffs!

When we see young officers carrying these we usually throw them away and give the Smith & Wesson cuffs. I can easily pick these cuffs even from the back. We teach to cuff with holes on top as this makes it much harder for a suspect to pick them (try it yourself and see). They are not safe to use.

I have these cuffs in pink. I hate pink, but I had to get them. They have actually turned a no person into a yes person --- just so they didn't have to wear the pink cuffs!

I like that the cuffs have an unlock and lock on both sides. No more trying to double cuff and get your key into tough places.

These cuffs are great once they are broken in. They are very light weight, and rugged.

light weight and reliable.

They are lighter than most other handcuffs. I pack two diferent stiles on me at all times.

I own 3 pairs of them. they have always good to me

Just picked up a pair (mine are BLACK lol)...I really liked the idea of being keyed from either side as quite often I deal with drunks and combatives and dont have time to work through the "keyhole up" training they teach us....I just need to "gitter-done"!!
I use Bianchi Patrol-Tech nylon and tactical gear so a little snug fitting but over time that nylon gear breaks in nice to whatever youre putting in it.
I'll let ya know after a few arrests whether or not they'll become my main pair over the Peerless 700's I've carried throughout my career thus far.

very easy to bend when cuffs are open. i have personally seen bad guys break them

I like the pink ones.

Great pair of handcuffs. Only problem is there are larger than most others so its hard to find a handcuff case to match your duty belt.

I CARRY BOTH THE HINGED AND CHAINED VERSIONS OF THESE CUFFS AND THEY ARE LIGHT WIEGHT QUICK AND EASY TO USE

These cuffs are light yet durable. I was surprised that they held up.

Very impressed with this product, considering some of the negative things I have read about them. I can't wait to slap these pink cuffs on some big, bad dude!!!!

These are by far the best cuffs that I have ever used. The openings is designed for ease of use for the officer as well as being a lot safer for the prisoner than many other cuffs on the market. The double locking mechanism works great and there is just something to be said for the quick easy application of these cuffs compared to Smith's and Peerless.

I have heard a lot of people criticize these as plastic cuffs. These people are not familiar with the product, as the polymer is only an over-mold and was developed to stabilize the lightened steel frame underneath. ASP cuffs are strong an reliable.

These are a great tool!

I hear its great.

Light weight and easy to use.

this is a gotta have

I just bought my first pair of these (pink), I really like them. I'm going to buy another set in a few weeks.

I bought an extra set to back up the ones I was issued.

I love these cuffs because they are lightweight, durable and easy to get off and on!! Great product always carry these off duty!!

Great cuffs, very sturdy and reliable. I love that the locking mechanisms can be found on both sides making it much easier to apply them in stressful situations. My gripe is that they cuff cases are hard to find, bulky and overpriced. Other than that I love them.

Great lightweight handcuff, easily applied. Great item!

Almost as good as the hinged ones :-)

Good design, easy to double lock; hole is on both sides.

An excelent piece of equipment with double sided key holes and security locks for added convenience, at date i wont use any other.

They look like an awesome handcuffs. I just wish they were blue though!!!

Very strong, very light weight. I carry 2 pair at all times and have never had an issue. I love ASP's equipment!

I HAVE A PAIR OF O.D. GREEN ONES AND I LOVE THEM. WHICH IS WHY I BOUGHT THE PINK HINGED ONES THAT I ALSO CARRY.

I have to piars of these cuffs. I have yet to have any problem. the only thing is that they didn't fit in my standard case. I had to buy two seperate cases for them. Overall great product.

my girlfriend said there alot more comfee

my husband has alot of handcuffs but i think these look better and they seem like they would be easy to get on a perp

Love this, the fact that I can lock them in from either side is a major plus, how smooth they lock in, and how light they are. Great investment. Have two that equal the weight of a set of peerless

Great cuffs. Extremely smooth action. Love that they can be double locked from either side.

Best handcuffs on the market.

love my cuffs, never had any problems using them

I am not a fan. Their to large to fit standered cuff cases, so you have to by the asp case. Also they are very flimsy and bend easy.

Although large, my team carries them in their raid vests and they are shaped more like a qeist and go on quicker, They do have an issue with the heat and the plastic sheathing cracking. But overall we are pretty pleased with them. we use Yellow and then we know which cuffs were ours

These cuffs rule! Key holes on both sides so you aren't left guessing. The 2nd lock is on both sides as well, so you don't have to poke around for a hole on the side of the cuff. They're lightweight, and you don't have to worry so much about them rusting like the others.

VERY LIGHT VERY STRONG

I was just issued two pairs of these cuffs. The cases are actually what I don't like. Much larger than a regular cuff case. I will report back after I get to use these cuffs in different situations.

JUNK!!! THEY WILL BREAK AND THE PERP DOESNT EVEN HAVE TO BE VERY BIG

I love the ASP cuffs, in a hurry you don't have to look for the key hole because its on both sides. They are pretty sturdy! I have had my S&W cuffs rust, but the asp cuffs are still holding strong!!

Something about cuffs being made out plastic worries me. I have used them in training classes but do not use them on the street. I have heard of them being open easily. i do like the key hole being on both sides.

Cuffs are light, easy to use and great price.

Key holes on both sides makes it convenient.. and these are smoother and more comfortable. Who cares, you say? It makes a difference when you're using them at home ;)

I've used my ASP cuffs for several years now with zero problems. They are lightweight, easy to apply, and the double key hole makes me wonder why no one thought of this before. A+.

Lightweight and very easy to clean. I have had a pair since then came out and I will not use my old ones anymore.

have one pair, and quit using them due to the problem that they 'flex' too much during an aggressige cuffing situation. There is always a trade, but I will stick with the added weight to have reliable equipment that functions the same every time.

These are good cuffs but they don't fit in standard cuff cases and can sometimes be a pain in a struggle due to overlapping

like the concept of the double key holes and lightweight design. size is an issue also for those of you that work near sand, sand got into a pair of mine an caused the slide lock to malfunction causing them not to lock at all.

Work well. Good size.

Have used ASP cuffs for 4 years. Have found them to be tough, reliable and safe. Will continue to use them for the rest of my career unless in the off chance something better is built.

i like these cause there more lightweigthed and are easy to apply

never had a problem. good cuffs.

These cuffs are too flexible. When your fighting with a suspect the last thing you want is to have your cuffs working against you!

I have accually had suspects tell me these were comfy. Too easy to pick open.

I have two pair, one black and one pink! I love them! The cases are much easier to find now.

absolute garbage. unless every suspect you plan on cuffing is compliant, don't carry these cuffs. in a struggle, they will go off track and not close. i have had this happen to me. i then made them unservicable and discarded them like the trash they are. furthermore, they will cut a suspect's wrist if they struggle, making you look bad in the eyes of onlookers / superiors. please don't go buy these.

This is a good pair of cuffs. They are light weight, have smooth edges and the best thing about them is they have a key hole on each side.

I really like these handcuufs. They are light weight and easy to use. I never have any trouble with them binding up on me. The one draw back that I have is the size...they do not fit inside of a standard cuff case.

only real downside is having to buy a bigger case to hold them

I personally think these cuffs are the Greatest I have the Smith and Wesson but ASP just took it over when making these
