Remember Dave’s review of the Titanium Escape Ring, the ring with a built-in handcuff key? Well TIHK is another tool to add to your personal security EDC. TIHK stands for tiny inconspicuous handcuff key and it’s a small plastic universal handcuff key for Peerless style cuffs. It has a built-in clip that can be used to attach it (hide it) on your belt loop, sock, pocket, etc so it’s always ready if you are abducted by bad guys or handcuff toting aliens. The TIHK is made in the USA, is available now and is priced at $18 for a pack of three.

From what I see on TV, many people use plastic ties instead of handcuffs.
This regrettably will be used by criminals and not the average law-abiding citizen. In 20 years of law enforcement, I have never personally known anyone or worked with anyone who has had a case where a citizen was handcuffed during an abduction. I feel certain that it happens, but so infrequently to be almost statistically zero. However, I have taken a handcuff key off multiple criminals with the intent to escape and or injured the officer. Hopefully mostly good guys read your reviews! Stay safe.
Bad idea.
