Before Your Next Crime Spree, Be Sure To Print Your Handcuff Key

Rosa Golijan — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 01:30:00 +0000

Whether it’s “Officer, I was only going 150km/h” or “Honey, I can’t get ‘em off”, sometimes you just lack a handcuff key. Fortunately, you can print one—if you happen to have a 3D printer, that is.

Using a 3D printer and a high-resolution image of the official handcuff key of the Dutch police, Ray, an SSDev member, printed a functional handcuff key. Scary and awesome at the same time. Best of all? You can get all the details on printing your own on his site. [ke.y.nu via BlackBag via Make]

Replica Bat Cuffs Turn Batman into BDSMan

“Assume the position,” barked Batman, as he wrestled his captive into a supine position. “Ooh, I just love it when you talk dirty to me,” purred Catwoman, an enigmatic half-smile playing about her whiskers, as she was bat-handled into submission. Her direct, feline gaze never left the superhero’s face, and he shifted uncomfortably as he realised that, somewhere below his bat-belt, the batsuit was becoming too tight for comfort.

“If you’re not careful, you’ll be burning rubber down there,” murmured Catwoman, with a derisory nod at his groin. “If you don’t shut up, I’ll be restringing my tennis racquet with your small intestine,” said Batman through gritted teeth.

“I’m intrigued to know what plans you have for my large intestine, darling!” she said with a wink. “Knitting yourself a condom?”

“You, of all people should know that I have no need for those,” he replied. “They don’t call me the Caped Crusader for nothing.” Shifting his hard body so that it was pinning her down to the roof, he freed one hand in order to grab his Batman handcuffs. Immediately, Catwoman saw her chance.

Twisting her back, she managed to free a paw from her opponent’s grasp and, with a swish of air, raked a claw down his cheek.

With a roar, Batman squeezed her prostrate figure between his manly thighs. “You promised you wouldn’t touch my face, you bitch! I’ve got to give one of those after-dinner speeches to the Hoboken Round Table tonight, and I’ll never hear the end of it.”

“Meow!” said Catwoman. “I love it when you get angry with me. Come on then, get the cuffs on and get on with it, as we don’t have much time. What time does dinner start?”

As Batman fiddled with the lock of the cuffs, his sexy partner did a double-take. “What the hell are those? Where are your bat-cuffs?” she shrieked. Batman looked embarrassed. “I lost them. Someone must have swiped them off my belt when we went to see Iron Man last weekend.”

“You’re such a fake,” she spat. “Get off me, I can’t bear you to touch me. Replica cuffs my ass.”

Batman’s lower lip quivered. “Aw, CW, don’t be like that, please. Please! They’re from JLA Trophy Room, and they look just like the real thing. I mean, they’re not bad—they’ve got a bat-shaped key, and they look good on my belt, and they only cost me US$136. And I’m the only person with them, as they’re not out until next year. Can’t you just play along with the fantasy a little bit?”

“Too late, Batty-boy,” came the reply. “I don’t do rip-offs.” With a resigned shrug, Batman released her and watched her go, her tail swishing angrily behind her. [Entertainment Earth via Geek Alerts]

Bike Cuffs Bring Security, Kinkiness, to Your Cycle

Addy Dugdale — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 12:13:27 +0000

Made of hardened, laminated steel, and based on the design for police-issue manacles, the bike cuff is all kinds of wonderful. You can lock up to three bikes at the same time, and the ring is big enough to secure to signposts to deter would-be tea-leaves. The heat-treated lock is pick-proof and there’s a hardened pivot link, which means no busting your bike using leverage. There is, however, one downside to the cuffs: price. Expect to pay US$158.50 for them. [Firebox]
