These Tri-Fold Training handcuffs from the American company ASP are identical to standard restraints in terms of construction, materials and functionality. However, in this case, they can be loosened and removed without cutting.
As the name of these training handcuffs already suggests, the ASP Tri-Fold folds three times, thus obtaining an ultra-compact form for carrying on a belt or vest. Wide open loops are then available in the application form for easy and quick application to the hand of the "detainee".
In this case, it is a training variant of handcuffs that are commonly used in crowd situations, military applications, or in air transportation where traditional handcuffs would not be practical or desirable.
ASP Tri-Fold handcuffs are extra wide and feature smooth edges for increased safety. They pass through a fully enclosed ratchet block with a washer that prevents them from being pulled out.
Tightening of these folding handcuffs is very fast and is done either with the help of the enclosed pressed tie rod, or with the use of an optional, extended and flexible tie rod. Additional security and functionality is also ensured by the secondary compression lock, which is equipped with buttons.
ASP Tri-Fold handcuffs in their latest generation use a polymer with a completely new formulation that has been perfected on more than a hundred prototypes. This polymer does not dry out or become brittle, thus gaining greater strength and durability.
