Plastic strips used for handcuffs?

i remember my brother had some plastic strips and he said they can be used for multiple things but he had them for restraints. They didn't have keys and had to be cut away. They also had like a zipper thing to make them tighter but could not be made less tighter. What are they called?

Flex cuffs can be used over and again, they open with the use of a standard hand cuff key.

Zip ties are used to secure wires, etc, and are NOT to be used to secure a prisoner!

Tie wraps or zip ties. They may also be sold to law enforcement under another name. You can get them at Home Depot. Electricians use them to tie up wires.

Flexicuffs is the name I have heard when used as restraints. ZipTies is a more general term for basically the same thing used for anything else. I'm not sure about the size used for restraints, but multiple smaller sizes can be purchased at most hardware stores. Some of these CAN be released without cutting, others can't.

On the airsoft team i'm on we call them flexcuffs. We use them to take prisoners in games.

Question sounds a little kinky to me. You and your brother and restraints. Hmmm?

There are different names for them, but see here for several types.

They were designed for commercial electricians and are sold at Lowes or the local hardware store as Tie wraps or wire wraps.

Each officer usually has one pair of cuffs. If there is a large bust they'll use the plastic ones.
