MAGNALIGHT UNIVERSAL HANDCUFF KEY

Locating a concealable key can be a desperate measure for law enforcement officers.  Having your own handcuffs forced on you is certainly a worst case scenario for almost anyone who puts on a uniform, but that's not to say in extenuating circumstances it has not happened.

MAGNALIGHT addresses the void with their universal concealable key.  The key in its breakaway holder is similar to the size of a nickel and can be tucked away in a number of places.  We played with a key of a fellow law enforcement officer and it worked as indicated.  The key did not feel flimsy and is composite material so it can be used over and over without deterioration. 

The key fits over a button, tucks under a pant lip, can be glued to a watch, sewn into a survival strap, used with belts, and endless other options.  Since criminals can get their hands on even the most restricted weapons, cops should consider the possibility that a criminal can bypass restrictions to get this composite key as well. 

The keys are not detected by a metal detector and can be found by a few distributors.  For more information visit the MAGNALIGHT website at http://www.magnalight.com/c-95-plastic-handcuff-key.aspx
