The cuff set closes around wrists, ankles, suit rings, or a fixed rail with a ratcheting lock meant to resist leverage rather than look humane in a brochure. Wipe salt and skin oil from the teeth, store it unlocked, and keep the release tool on a different belt. Security crews use it for escort and transfer; private owners buying one for vague reasons draw attention. Properly fitted cuffs limit escape without cutting circulation. Too tight causes nerve damage. Too loose supplies a determined prisoner with both freedom and a compact striking weapon. Gateburn overbuilds heat shielding and puts the serial plate where scorch damage is least likely to erase it. The extra mass irritates light-pack travelers but earns its keep around hot machinery and unreliable transfer docks.
