We Hack People - Handcuff shimming using the covert escape ring

We Hack People - Tim Roberts demonstrates how to shim a handcuff utilizing the saw/shim hidden inside of the covert escape ring.
Only one hand is cuffed in this demo for brevity and to focus on the shim itself.
NOTE: This video is to demonstrate how the shim works on handcuffs. It is not a "how to escape when cuffed" video, which is why one hand is free.

Don't think this would work on the new double locking handcuffs

What if the handcuffs are tight on your wrist bone like they are supposed to be? It seems like this would be much hard with the new style of cuffs without the multiple links in the middle.

And THAT is why a good team will have mini zip ties to secure rings on fingers to the hand cuff.

Make a loop under the ring, close it. Make a loop under the cuff and through the ring loop, close it.

You are NOT taking off your ring!
