If it can be said that the American manufacturer of ASP handcuffs is among the best in the world, then it can be also said the Ultra Plus Tactical model is among the best in their offering. It's no wonder these handcuffs received the significant gold distinction "Member Tested and Recommended" from the NTOA (National Tactical Officers Association).
ASP Ultra Plus Tactical handcuffs are based on the Ultra model, which was already well-received. The word Plus in the name indicates that the bar is set even higher this time. The most significant new feature is the so-called keyless dual lock, which is fast and intuitive. You just need to press the locking bar with your finger, which is color-coded differently from the rest of the handcuffs and thus easily identifiable 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 cuffs highly durable. The frame is ergonomic, reducing the risk of injury to both the arrestee and the police officer. The Identifier variant signifies that the handcuff arches are marked with different colors, for better identification of suspects.
We can still elaborate on ergonomics. The contact arch of the handcuffs is conical and flat, making it better adaptable to different wrist shapes. The application of handcuffs is faster and more accurate, and as we've mentioned, the risk of injury is minimized.
The Ultra handcuffs, including the Plus Tactical variant, are equipped with advanced key slots that are ambidextrous (on both sides of both frames) and operate with a single turn. The primary and double locks are released by turning the key in one direction. Additionally, the double locks can be unlocked and locked without releasing the arches, allowing continuous safe adjustment and tightening.
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, everything does not need to be replaced at once. Mechanism replacement may be necessary to comply with rules and regulations for specific scenarios of handcuff use.
The American brand ASP (Armament Systems & Procedures) brings significant advancements in handcuff design and functionality. Their models have been designed, tested and refined in the field with contributions from officers and tactical instructors from around the world. The result is models made from revolutionary materials, with modern construction and a set of features that cannot be found on other handcuffs.
