Has anyone ever heard of these? A friend gave me a pair today as a joke (because I got my butt beat by a shoplifter) I was just wondering if they where any good.

I had a pair of Hiatts I threw away in the garbage within a month of getting them. They were cheap garbage.
I use Peerless now.
Maybe I'll keep them, I use Smith & Wesson now. I could have used them the other day though just didn't have enough cuffs for all the scumbags.
If nothing else, keep them in your bag. Like you said, you can never have enough cuffs. Are they colored too? Always a good conversation starter.

Never hurts to have a pack of 15" heavy duty zip ties!

And if you don't use them at work they come in handy for tying the roses:cool:
The Hiatts aren't but the S&W are black.

That would be nice, but we can't use them where I work.
