Side by Side Comparison of: Smith & Wesson vs Bianchi vs Zak Tool

I'm posting this review, in part, because the seller emailed me. The day my product shipped, the seller emailed to tell me it was on the way and to wish me happiness with my product and to let me know I should reach out to them if I had any questions or concerns. They were wrong about the day of delivery, by one day, but that might well be my local post office (we've had issues). Then, today, a few days after delivery, the seller emailed me a request to please leave a high review or contact them if I had any concerns.

I have no concerns.

I do not love these so much that I'd go leave an unsolicited review, but I have a few minutes to burn and no reason to complain. They are exactly what I wanted.

I bought them to practice escaping. They are every bit as solid and real as advertised. The double-lock is solid (this is a slot-style) and the mechanism is smooth. I would feel comfortable using these professionally, and I will know that I will be getting good practice out of them.

They are a good standard size. The double-lock is firm. The metal is in good shape. The pivots slide 360-degrees smoothly.

DO NOT USE THESE FOR BDSM PLAY. You can hurt yourself. Use soft cuffs that are made for prolonged sessions. Learn shibari. Improvise with a pillowcase or your/their clothing.

I really like these new cuffs. My old Smith & Wessons served me well for many years and the quality is still there! The double lock is a little different than what I am accustomed to but it's still very simple.

Good locking handcuffs. These lock by inserting the end of the key into slot sliding the pin inside. I got these for a bicycle lock.

These are the absolute best handcuffs. Thanks for the prompt delivery

The cuffs say new but there is a number hand etched into them like they were going to be used on duty. They work perfect so I am not complaining one bit

I was looking for a pair of good quality, bargain priced handcuffs for some training efforts, and these cuffs fill the bill nicely. They were brand new, packaged well, and function great.

they come in the right box, but always look scuffed up. work fine.

Decent product

These are definitely not fake. I have these and a pair of ASP hinge cuffs. The ASP cuffs are definitely smoother than these. I had to oil the ratchet system on these but that's standard maintenance as it's metal on metal. Overall a great set of cuffs.

They don't double-lock like I had hoped. They will do the trick but they are not like my other S&W cuffs

They were scratched up when we got them, but my husband decided to keep them. He wasn't too concerned about it

I think they are great hand cuffs but when they were delivered to me they looked like they were used! They were sticky and dirty.

These work pretty good, when I got them they were already a little scratched up.

I would give 5 stars on the functionality and construction of the cuffs, but the overall appearance of the cuffs when I received them were horrible. I bought the nickel plated model and when I received them they were badly tarnished and some what scratched. So if you absolutely have to have nickel, I suggest polishing them up with flitz polish like I did. Otherwise I would go with the black model.

Seemed well used already, and a bit stiff, needs some oiling but for as often as I use them as a PT CO, it will do the job. However, they seem a bit smaller than I expected.

cuffs broke. . . .

When I opened the box, it seemed used. There are scratches on the handcuffs and hand prints on them and im positive they arent mine because I didnt taken them out of the box yet. In the long run, these are functional and able to be used but just disappointed that it seems second handed.

Meh. Security patrol grade cuffs'.

I was hoping a new product, box was previously opened ans just sealed with a little bit of tape, handcuffs were sratches and i have a hard time because they get stock... i defenetly don't believe they are new...and i piad for something new! Really disappointed with the product

looked used and not smooth in closing or opening - do not get these

Arrived scuffed, heavily used, and stiff. Almost as if corroded. Not good quality.

Definitely used. Also double lock doesn't work. Could deal with it being second hand for the price but NOT broken.

Advertised as NEW .. I got a used in the mail.
Not happy at all
