Hiatt has more 200 years experience in the restraint business. Their modern range of “Snap-On” handcuffs is the most comprehensive of any handcuff manufacturer in the world today and all possess Hiatt’s unique backloading feature for speedcuffing techniques. All models meet or exceed NIJ standards and include these features:
Back loads for fast application and "extra chance" application (open cuff can be snapped back into place with just a quick motion of the wrist and then reapplied without having to release the offenders hand)
3 independent retaining bars with 6 teeth on each makes Hiatt restraints very, very difficult to pick and provide more strength as the shackle engages
Leaf spring double lock system vs. coil spring system that can be gravity defeated
Trueswing technology means the shackle hits the center of cuff every time
BOSS rivets are bigger on the outside than the inside making it impossible to push out without drilling
