In a world where control tightens like a noose, your survival gear needs an edge. Handcuff keys and lock picks might just add that edge. Check your state and local laws, but surprisingly in most places in the USA these are legal for civilians to possess.
Why carry a handcuff key? Good cops aren’t the only ones with cuffs. Thugs, vigilantes, or worse can slap steel on your wrists. A universal key in your bug-out bag, EDC kit, or hidden in a survival bracelet could be your ticket to freedom. Stash a spare at home. Just don’t play games with the Law. If you’re legitimately arrested, immediately own up about the key. Hiding it to escape custody is illegal everywhere.
Lock picks? They’re not just for cat burglars. Knowing how to use them can open doors, literally, when SHTF. Abandoned buildings, locked supplies, or even your own jammed locks could stand between you and survival. But they’re useless without skill. Learn the craft now. Locksmithing is also a potential side hustle that could pay dividends in a dystopian gig economy.
Check Amazon for both tools: Handcuff Keys, and/or Lockpicks.
Stay free. Stay ready.

Picking locks is surprisingly easy. I bought a set of picks several years ago to have in case of necessity. Within an hour, everybody in my shop was looking around for old padlocks and trying their hand.
