Cobra Cuffs Disposable Handcuffs — Milspec Plastics, Black

Patented Cobra Cuffs® ship fully assembled and folded, so they store neatly in a carry pouch and deploy instantly.

At just 56.6 g per pair, they add negligible weight to the operator and can be carried in quantity — decisive in mass-arrest or crowd-control situations. For the weight of a single pair of metal handcuffs (~283 g), you can carry five Cobra Cuffs.

The material is a patented polymer and rubber compound with exceptional tensile strength (400+ lbs), making the restraint effectively unbreakable and resistant to cracking even at low temperatures. The patented double-locking mechanism is unique in the category.

Because they're single-use, every pair is clean at the point of application. That reduces the risk of disease transmission from detainee to operator or between detainees — a genuine exposure with reusable metal cuffs — and limits the agency's civil liability.

Cobra Cuffs vs. standard nylon zip ties

• Common nylon zip ties are stiff, awkward to store, and difficult to apply under stress or in low light.
• Most zip-tie-style restraints are prone to accidental over-tightening if the strap is pulled during transport, risking permanent nerve damage to the detainee and consequent liability for the agency. Only Cobra Cuffs incorporate stops that prevent accidental over-tightening.
• Standard zip-tie designs rely on an internal ratchet that can be cut or defeated.
• The internal mechanism on zip-tie restraints is the weakest point and fails to known escape techniques — more easily still in cold temperatures or under flexing. Only Cobra Cuffs use a patented polymer/rubber compound that eliminates this weakness.
