American Handcuff has done it again. They have just come out with an innovative new product, the N-550 (and its brother, the lightweight aluminum A-550) Hinged Handcuff. Basically a variation on a theme, this cuff has some refinements that make it stand out from the crowd:
The body is elongated and trimmed to allow for a more secure grip while being applied.
The wrist openings are eliptically contoured to prevent slippage and rotation.
The wrist openings are tilted for reduced pressure on to the wearer's wrists.
The two hinge plates allow for some off-axis motion adding to their safety.
The finish is well up to the American Handcuff standards.
All in all a cuff that should do quite well in the market place.
