Hiatt Thompson 2222 are in

The Hiatt Thompson 2222 Handcuffs are in. They're better than I thought they'd be. They weigh in at 8.2 ounces (232g), vs. 9.4 ounces (266g) for the standard "10 ounce" Hiatt 2010. There are 20 teeth on the unditched bow vs 18 on the 2010. The stampings mike at 0.115 inches (2.92mm) vs. 0.151 (3.84mm)for the 2010.

The cuffs are not mirrored. The obverse bears a HT in a triangle stamp, while the back is clean. They are serialized on one bow. Mine are in the 235xxx serial number range.

Te cuffs take a semi-standard US pattern key. The flag is narrower than normal because of the thinner stampings. My regular Hiatt key doesn't work, but the 2222 key unlocks the 2010. I was thrown off and almost reported this incorrectly, as the handcuff key on my belt has the narrower flag. Standard, Ha!

The cuffs double lock by pushing in a button on the heel, in the age-old style. Rotating the key clockwise releases the double lock and rotating it CCW releases the pawl. The pawl is a single stamping, vs. the three stamping stack on the 2012. Interestingly, the 2010 pawls work semi independently. If you depress either outside pawl, it depresses alone. If you depress the center pawl, all three go down.

I think they're light duty quality. Better than toy cuffs, but not true duty cuffs. The fact that all "standard" keys don't work will tell against them. They're advertised for use where the owner may not get his cuffs back, and for that, they're adequate, I guess.

If anyone wants a pair, I can let them go for fifteen bucks plus five bucks S&H, for a total of twenty. e-mail me at 9n47-kicg@spamex.com

Oops. Second from the bottom is a 2010. The bottom photo compares both cuffs.

Hi Dennis, thanks for the info and the pics, These 2222's look interesting, but you say

"I think they're light duty quality. Better than toy cuffs, but not true duty cuffs"

Surely "light duty" - whatever that might be - just isn't good enough. Either they're suitable for use on duty or they're not. As for use when the officer thinks he might not get the cuffs back - well that just isn't realistic. It'll be good to get a set of these in my collection, but let's face it - they'll never get NIJ approval!

They're advertised as "Not NIJ Approved," which indicated to me that they weren't even going to try to get them approved. I can see where they might be attractive to cops who want an extra few pairs of backup cuffs, but for me they don't offer value for money over the Korean cuffs I can get, that look like NIJ quality. Or S&Ws, for that matter. If you hunt around a bit, you can get S&Ws for twenty five bucks a pair. I don't think they'll be around long.

Fortunately, a collector's item doesn't need to be technically great. Disasters make interesting collectibles.

Those that ordered them, the cuffs are in the mail.

I agree entirely, that's why I'm looking forward to adding a set to my collection in due course. I hadn't realised they're advertised as NOT being NIJ approved - ah well, I guess most of the cuffs in my collection aren't - and it's still a decent collection!

You might as well be selling a piece of rope

Is that what a Hiatt 2222 is?

Or maybe, a twisted piece of coat hanger wire?

Hey, it's pewter coated.

This is so super fantastic, you just can't believe all how it is,

These guys with handcuffs and all and stuff and you just have no idea how it goes.

The Hiatt Thompson 2222 Handcuffs are in. They're better than I thought they'd be. They weigh in at 8.2 ounces (232g), vs. 9.4 ounces (266g) for the standard "10 ounce" Hiatt 2010. There are 20 teeth on the unditched bow vs 18 on the 2010. The stampings mike at 0.115 inches (2.92mm) vs. 0.151 (3.84mm)for the 2010.

The cuffs are not mirrored. The obverse bears a HT in a triangle stamp, while the back is clean. They are serialized on one bow. Mine are in the 235xxx serial number range.

Te cuffs take a semi-standard US pattern key. The flag is narrower than normal because of the thinner stampings. My regular Hiatt key doesn't work, but the 2222 key unlocks the 2010. I was thrown off and almost reported this incorrectly, as the handcuff key on my belt has the narrower flag. Standard, Ha!

The cuffs double lock by pushing in a button on the heel, in the age-old style. Rotating the key clockwise releases the double lock and rotating it CCW releases the pawl. The pawl is a single stamping, vs. the three stamping stack on the 2012. Interestingly, the 2010 pawls work semi independently. If you depress either outside pawl, it depresses alone. If you depress the center pawl, all three go down.

I think they're light duty quality. Better than toy cuffs, but not true duty cuffs. The fact that all "standard" keys don't work will tell against them. They're advertised for use where the owner may not get his cuffs back, and for that, they're adequate, I guess.

If anyone wants a pair, I can let them go for fifteen bucks plus five bucks S&H, for a total of twenty. e-mail me at 9n47-kicg@spamex.com

Hi Mike - I don't have these new H-T 2222's yet, so looking forward to seeing your pics and reading your comments about 'em.
More of our contributors here should look in on your site where you post the weekly features.

Mike (in tight pants), I will let you know when they are featured. I think they will have some real collectability in the years to come......but they are not terribly secure. The box is very nice considering the grade of cuff that comes in it.

Cheers, Mike

I got my pair today.
Thank you Dennis!

As stated above: "Fortunately, a collector's item doesn't need to be technically great. Disasters make interesting collectibles."
If I collected cars, I guess I would want to include an Edsel.
These will not make it to my TOP 10 in my collection but it will nevertheless be included.
I appreciate you making these available to all the collectors.

Yes, I'd happily purchase a set of these from Dennis to add to my collection, but for the monetary value that's involved in 'em right bow, it's hardly worth having a pair shipped over here to England. That's why I decided to wait until they're available on this side of the Pond.
