#1I am looking for chain handcuffs with a single chain link or o-ring link.
I like the design of CTS Trimax chain cuffs but like many other models they are prone to chain binding fatigue.
CTS does make an oversized model but they are probably impractical to carry around. I did reach out to CTS awhile ago and spoke with someone in sales but he didn't care about the chain binding vulnerability.
I told him to suggest a product alternative where the standard sized cuffs would be made with the same o-ring link as the oversized model.
Anyway has anyone thought about modifying their favorite pair of chain cuffs down to a single link or replacing the chain with a single o-ring? I would guess you would compromise strength doing this because what metal service could achieve the results of these manufacturers with basic welding techniques and available hardware?
Any ideas besides suggesting hinged or straight bar?
