Concealable cuff key in ‘bracelet’

Not long ago, we passed along some information about a product called SurvivalStraps — an interesting way to carry around about 15 feet of 500-pound-test line — from a company in Florida called Tough Gear. Their website says, “We are extremely passionate in our support for our Men and Women in uniform,” and states further that they donate 20 percent of the proceeds from their “Blue Line Gear” series of products to the TASER Foundation for fallen officers.

However, we’ve discovered a ‘copycat’ — although we have not yet figured out the exact manufacturer — with considerably less honorable intentions. Check out the two images below, which we’ve now received from three of our members. This version of the para-cord wrist band contains a concealable handcuff key.
