We need to talk about ASP handcuffs. The elephant in the room left... History / Improvements / facts

ASP handcuffs early on got a bad name by many police officers and security, due to their flexibility and problems with the exterior polymer cracking and leaving sharp edges. Many people are still hung up on this, as if it's still a problem. Lets talk about ASP handcuffs, the issues, the features, the improvements.

To demonstrate and explain, I have old polymer overmold models, aluminium or aluminum ultracuffs, also I have Sentry models. Both Chain and hinged models of each. I also explain the improvement from Ultracuff to UltraPlus cuff and the drawback.

They have improved their handcuffs based on feedback, in terms of construction, safety, security, quality of life and price. There are now, viable ASP handcuff options for everyone who wants or needs good quality, safer handcuffs. Whether it's hard forged aluminum or stainless steel, watch to the end to get the full scoop on their cuffs and see what you might be missing out on.

By the way, the plastic double locking bar in most of ASP's handcuffs (including the high end cuffs) is not a cheapskate way to make more money, it's a functional benefit to security. Since it is such a lightweight piece of plastic, the "whack attack" (where you slam the cuffs down hard to force the double lock bar to disengage) does not work. With the all-steel Sentry handcuffs, this whack attack will probably work like most of all the other brands of handcuffs out there.

At the time of making this video, on handcuffwarehouse.com Prices are as follows:

Ultra Plus Chain: $63.20
Sentry Chain: $35.00

Ultra Plus Hinged: $75.20
Sentry Hinged: $42.00

Big difference in price.

Enjoy!
