Handcuffs

Plastic Handcuffs vs Mechanical Handcuffs [Video]

I’ve been asked for my opinion on the use of ‘plastic-cuffs’ and the benefits and drawbacks of them when compared to mechanical handcuffs so I have agreed to do this video to help someone out in the hope that it may also help others too.

As usual, if you have any comments that can add value to the thread then please feel free to leave them below.

Best Regards

Mark Dawes
