How handcuffs are made - GIF

[tlnixon]

Smith and Wesson cuffs at that. It appears from the logos that they might be made abroad and not in the U.S. Did anyone else get that impression from the logos on the screen? I have a couple pair of them. They were always tight ratcheting through and required much more force that the Peerless brand ones I carried most of the time as a cop. One time several years ago, the local Sheriff's Dept. bought a bunch of Hiatt's handcuffs. Almost every pair of them had to eventually be cut off of inmates' wrists with bolt cutters. They would not unlock. Apparently it was a bad batch.
