Great for multiple reasons, easy to hold when preparing to cuff suspect, and Nice for pain compliance.

Great handcuffs, but hard to deploy when a person is resisting.

S&W

When I put someone in cuffs these are the first pair I grab off of my belt. I also carry regular cuffs but you have more control over the supect with hinged cuffs.

I love my Hinge Handcuffs. I get complete control over my suspects

It took awhile for my badge bunnies to get use to the hinges but they all love it now.

Excellent cuffs.

not a bad product i would like a key whole on both sides

Love this product... never want to go back to chained again..

Love the... i carry one set hindged and 1 set chain... jackasses get the hindged!

Excellent Cuffs, but could be better.

Ive tried them, and Im not a big fan of the Hinge cuffs....I prefer my good ole Smith and Wesson!!!

Good for the "Yes" people, easy to butterfly for smaller hands. But very tough to work with if the person is resisting.

great

I like these handcuffs because the slack is non-existant when it comes to a point where you need just a little twist to get the subject under control.

Have a pair of these made from aluminum and they are great.

An awesome cuff, results in no pichin as there is no chain to make them flexible and they are awesome at helpin control a resistant subject!

Great product, lightweight and great speed handcuff feature. the only problem with product is it dont work well with big people

I use a pair of each style. The hinged works great in most all situations except dealing with large or "less flexible" suspects. That's where the chained style works best.

The best cuffs you can buy. I love being able to pull back and lock them in the perfect position.

Carried them for several years and had no problems.

my favorite cuffs. they fit a bigger wrist.

These were issued by our department. I was lucky and got a used pair, works phenominally. Some of the other rookies got new ones out of the box. Not only do they need to be cooked to loosen up some, but they are actually smaller. I checked with Hiatt, and they are the same product just different generation. Although I see the need for smaller cuffs, I would not be in favor of having these as my first set for the new size. Other than the size issues, I love the ability to "combat load" the ratchet from the back.

Works well as long as you remember which way is up! (Another story for another time :-)

These work without any problems!

I prefer the chainlink cuffs but these are second pair and they have worked well for me.

More discomfort!!! I love em. I try to put them on when i need to. I find they work better on smaller wristed people..

Quality

the price is to low $60 -85

Have'em and use'em quite frequently.

I have one pair, I like the fact it restricts any additional movement possible. Also great for use with shackle system. Difficult for use on a larger size suspect as is most sets of cuffs (need more cuffs).

They are a good quality product: they use very good materials and I never had any problem using them, except for difficult to close them on the second wrist of a resisting character, because they are so short and your own hand could accidentally stop the correct moving of the lock. I prefer S&W M300 (hinged and similar for size and price), or some other models produced by Hiatts too (for example, model UL-1), but just for special uses (particularly strong people) because they are too cumbersome on the belt.

Official Handcuffs in Spanish National Police. Just add perhaps too heavy.

I had these cuffs early in my career and after cutting 2 pairs off of subjects I switched to S&W and later ASP never a problem with them.

Nice secure cuffs. Pre-load option is very nice. Only downside is that they won't fit on a person with large wrists so you have to make sure you carry a set of large size cuffs also.

A great way to restrain those suspects that still want to fight, even after they've been cuffed! Less play in them than regular chain cuffs and not as easy to manipulate for the offender.
