Quoted: Let me know how much your price is for a pair of cuffs. Looks like Hiatts would be around $20 a pair or $25 for black. This is for steel chain style, the base model. Anyone got a better than dealer cost on the real thing? |

Just an opinion here:
Hiatt handcuffs suck. Peerless are mediocre, will work fine, but nothing fancy. S&W are the best. (Edited to add: S&W uses a proprietary key, could be problem/costly to get extras.) |

(Edited to add: S&W uses a proprietary key, could be problem/costly to get extras.) Looking for the best bang for the buck. Hiatts are good enough to hook up Iraqi low lifes and a bunch of Hiatts are better than nothing. Not gonna bother with S&W. |

Steyr, I know a low of cops who buy Galls brand, 10 ounce cuffs. $14.99 a pair and they might be willing to give a break if they know what it is for.

Soldiers are not cops.
All they need are thousands and thousands of extra-strength zip ties. Why buy them handcuffs? They nap Iraqi's by the dozen. One soldiers handcuffs have to go all the way to either the nearest POW camp or police station, then they have to be released and the soldier needs to get his own pair back. Plastic Zip Ties are all they need |

It's Hiatts that are a royal bitch to open with non-Hiatts keys. I'm in for at least a pair. Let me know the final per-pair cost and where to send a check. [red]Edited for spelling[/red] |

One soldiers handcuffs have to go all the way to either the nearest POW camp or police station, then they have to be released and the soldier needs to get his own pair back. Plastic Zip Ties are all they need My thoughts as well. Or am I missing something? If they indeed must have handcuffs, I have a pair of S&Ws I don't use. I'll contact the local PD's in the morning as well. I have found S&W cuffs online for $21. I personally would feel better buying the S&Ws. |

Maybe it has something to do with moving prisoners around once they are incarcerated and the constant need to use and cut off zip ties and the risk of running out of them... Maybe the soldiers feel that they would be better served using actual cuffs and they are speaking from their real world experience in theatre. So why the hell are you questioning and dismissing what seems like a very reasonable request.

Plastic Zip Ties are all they need If you checked the link you would see they need cuffs and NOT zip ties. [b]New, used, whatever you can get (nope, no flexcuffs). [/b] I'm not there, I'm no expert I'm just going by the website. Let's please not turn this into a debate on what is or isn't needed. Hiatts is the cheapest cuff that I can get from a supplier I deal with constantly and I know is reliable. If someone wants to take this over who has better connections let me know where to send my check so I can help. Lacking that this is just an idea I thought was good given the fact that nobody should need shit like this when they are in Iraq for Christmas. Again this is just a idea I had to try and help. If you're in great, if not let's not piss all over the idea. If we get this rolling and you have a pair of handcuffs you want to send, I'll be happy to include them. |

Anyone got a better than dealer cost on the real thing? Here's the dealer pricing that I can get. I would need to confirm the next year prices haven't taken effect yet. If this is what they need and people are interested I would need to check with my supplier to see how many they have in stock or what time frame they are looking at if an order was placed. Hiatts 10oz nickel $13.95 10oz black $15.50 Peerless model 500 nickel $16.70 model 500 black $16.70 S&W model 100 nickel $16.60 model 100 black $16.60 |

So why the hell are you questioning and dismissing what seems like a very reasonable request. I beg your pardon? When a beggar asks for money on the street, how do you know where it is going to? Do you just fling your money around to anyone that asks? What are the credentials for this organization? What makes it any more secure or less prone to abuse than any of the other thousand charitable organizations who are asking for donations in the name of our troops? Why doesn't someone just work out a deal with the in country MP Battalions if the need is so urgent? Are these cuffs going to go to average USGI's or are they slated for MP units? What's the use if they are going to some ruck-humper who'll never need to use them? Why would the average USGI use a pair of expensive cuffs when they have all the flexcuffs at their disposal that have multiple purposes? Use your brain, man. You should know better since you are such a highly regarded member with so many posts......are the rest of your 5000 odd posts of equal stupidity? BTW, if there is a risk of them running out of zip ties, why not contribute a bunch of Zip Ties or flex cuffs? |

A special "Thank You!" to Brad Krantz and John Hancock of WBT Radio in Charlotte, NC, for talking about this site on their shows! Hear the John Hancock shows he did! Another special "Thank You!" to Jim Newman of TV who ran a segment! And another special "Thank You!" to The Ron&Don Morning Show of Radio KLQ, Grand Rapids, who ran a long segment on 3 December! A gigantic "Thank You!" to FOX News and ARD German TV (Video here). |

Scht, I suggest you put your attitude in check. Yes, I like to think I'm fairly highly regarded here and I have been on the board for years and I will tell you this Sir, so has SteyrAug and he would not bring us a cause that was not on the up and up to his knowledge. THAT is all I need. Now, if you who have been here for two months wants to prove your own ignorance as to how this community responds to our troops, go right ahead. Free country and your right to prove what a dunce you are...

Don't know, don't care. The site looks legit enough for me. I have family in the military right fucking now. When I hear they need something I DO SOMETHING. If they fucking asked for zips I'd get zips. They specifically requested cuffs and NOT zips. I don't have a friend in the 173rd, I was looking up "To Any Soldier" because I did shit like this during Gulf I and wanted to do the same this Christms to do something nice. Assholes like you wouldn't understand. You are not in the military, and clearly have no respect for the military so excuse me if I don't take your expert advice on what they do or don't need. You are the most offensive person I have ever encountered on the net. |

Look, everybody take a deep breath and please cease the swearing. Steyr, I applaud the effort and I'm onboard. However, this arguing is defeating the honorable purpose of this thread. There are a lot of us behind you on this, me included, and I'm one of the cheapest guys here. I agree, the troops ask for cuffs I send cuffs.
