A History of the Handcuff We can thank W. V. Adams for patenting a design in 1862 that put old fashioned manacles and ratchets out of business.  Prior to that, metal rings that locked into place were used for the same job.  Those unfortunate enough to find themselves bound by these early instruments doubtlessly suffered greatly in a short period of time, as there were no adjustments and no attempt at all was made to render them less painful. Rope and chain also enjoyed popularity prior to Mr. Adams' patented hinged handcuffs, but duct tape hadn't yet been invented! Todays 'cuffs' are so well made that some of them are even comfortable -- well, relatively so anyway.  And for the ladies, pink handcuffs (as well as other eye catching colors) are being made. Of course Law Enforcement needs many more things than handcuffs.  We also carry a wide selection of batons.
