Hi guys,
I have a bit of a problem. I don’t have many handcuffs but unfortunately one of my pairs has gone a tad rusty. It’s a pain of Hiatts tri hinge fold up ones. It is just in patches of rust all over (especially on the inside of the shackles). I just wondered what the best way to clean them up was? I know they are rusty because they have been left in a damp area (my fault). I don’t think that they will take long to smarten up BUT I wanted to do it properly so thought it would be best to ask someone who might have done it before. I don’t want to mess them up at all. Thanks Dave |

Dave there are all types of ways to clean them up. and help prevent rust. I'm from the states and over here some use WD-40 and I have used PB Blaster on one set of cuffs already. there is alsp [eople who have cleaned cuffs with something for gun care. I hope this helps you out. D,

We have WD40 over here to. I will get some of that on them to keep the action moving but was more concerned with the rust removal first. Is PB blaster a rust remover?
Thanks for your time D |

PB Blaster I was told is Superior to WD 40. http://www.pbblaster.com

If you check out the forum over and http://www.handcuffs.org your will find the handcuff collectors often discuss this very issue, and in incredible detail. Check them out.

Hi Bear (or is it Mr Tree?)
I have not tried anything yet. I did not want to trash them by experimenting (although that's a great excuse to get a new pair of cuffs. Dave |

Contact Ian McColl here at The Magic Café. He should have the answer.
Others will as well but maybe contacting Ian direct will get you the quickest answer. |
