If it can be said that the American handcuffs manufacturer ASP is among the best in the world, then it can also be said that the Ultra Plus Tactical model is among the best in their offer. It is no wonder that these handcuffs have received the significant gold award "Member Tested and Recommended" from the NTOA (National Tactical Officers Association).
The ASP Ultra Plus Tactical handcuffs are based on the Ultra model, which was already well-received. And the word Plus in the name somehow suggests that the bar will be set even higher this time. The most significant new feature is the so-called keyless double-locking, which is quick and intuitive. Just press the locking bar with a finger, which is color-coded differently from the rest of the handcuffs and thus can be identified at a glance.
Materials are naturally important in the manufacture of handcuffs. The main material used for the frame of the ASP Ultra Plus Tactical handcuffs is steel, which makes these handcuffs highly durable. The frame is ergonomic, which reduces the risk of injury to both the detained person and the intervening officer. The Hinge variant means that the two parts of the handcuffs are connected by a hinge instead of a chain.
We can still dwell on the ergonomics. The contact arch of the handcuffs is conical and flat, making it better adaptable to various wrist shapes. At the same time, the application of the handcuffs is quicker and more accurate, and as we have said, the risk of injury is minimized.
The Ultra handcuffs, including the Plus Tactical variant, are equipped with advanced keyways that are double-sided (on both sides of both frames) and work with a single twist. The primary and double lock are then released by turning the key in one direction. Additionally, you can lock and unlock the double locks without releasing the arches of the handcuffs, so the tightness can be safely adjusted continuously.
Another advantage of the ASP Ultra Plus Tactical handcuffs is that they include replaceable lock sets. The individual mechanisms are separate, so if replacement is necessary, you don't have to replace everything at once. Replacing mechanisms may be needed, for example, to comply with rules and norms for specific handcuff use scenarios.
The American brand ASP (Armament Systems & Procedures) brings significant advancements in the design and functionality of handcuffs. Their models have been designed, tested and refined in the field with the contribution of officers and tactical instructors from around the world. The result is models made of revolutionary materials, with modern construction and a set of features that cannot be found on other handcuffs.
