1. Use your secondary lockout faster, easier, and more consistently.
2. Once engaged, the handcuffs cant be tightened or loosened without the key.
3. Once engaged, the handcuffs can't be shimmed open.
4. There's no need to locate a key to engage the secondary lockout.
5. The risk of a contested handcuff key never comes into play.
I guess that when Hiatts already tried their push button double lock handcuff design it's only new to someone who wasn't aware that this isn't "new" or "revolutionary"? Sorry but this wheel was already invented and didn't work for law enforcement. Despite the change of hands with respect to the ownership of Hiatt and their copyrights, I would imagine that a case against you for possible infringement could be made.
Lacking NIJ criteria for law enforcement, the previous failure of this design and when the public can already purchase a better product numerous sources, I doubt these will ever be a commercial success. Certainly you'll have limited interest from collectors and it is interesting that they are made in the USA.
Factually it isn't perfectly legal for civilians to own handcuffs everywhere in the US. It is illegal to possess handcuffs in The City Of New York. Laws of New York: § 10-147 Possession of handcuffs
And in PA you must be 18 years of age to be in possession of handcuffs.
I'm surprised that prior to this marketing campaign that anyone would make claims that are not based upon known and easily verified facts. Blanket statements without researching the facts is never a good idea in marketing and generally will prove that you lack credibility.
