Wrist restraints locking - restraints discontinued by Spartacus - review by Miss Jane

Where do I even start with these cuffs? They're great, and they're inexpensive without being cheaply made.

The leather is smooth and supple and, despite that I've used them so much, doesn't show signs of cracking or straining. They're durable, too; I haven't broken them, and that's more than I can say for some of my other "restraints".

They're adjustable, and fit me just fine. I have small wrists, so all you other small-wristed people out there: rejoice! Cuffs made for you! Plus, they have a wide size range - so even if you don't have little wrists these'll fit. They also work great for ankle cuffs. I've even connected them together and used the pair as a (locking!) collar!

These cuffs have O-rings connected to the base by a triangular ring. Translation: awesome. Since the O-ring isn't directly connected to the leather, it can move more freely. This doesn't mean your restrainee will be less secure - it means you have a little extra give room to put them in more fun positions. The rings are very sturdy and I haven't noticed any dings or scratches in them. The only complaint I have is that they're a bit thick; some of my connectors just don't fit them. Double-check to make sure yours will fit beforehand, otherwise you'll be in for a frustrating surprise mid-bind.

Another great thing about these is that, though they're locking, you don't have to have locks to make them function. So if you're just not feeling being locked up on a certain day, you need not dig out a different pair - just leave off the locks. The cuffs use two small padlocks, which aren't included. You can get them for a couple of dollars at a hardware store, or Walmart or the like.

Overall, these are just awesome. They're a staple in my collection. At under $30, they're affordable and definitely give you your money's worth.
