These leg irons are solid, heavy, and come with instructions on how to lock and unlock them.  They're packed in a plastic bag in a small cardboard box, and they are already oiled/lubricated so they go on and off smoothly.  The locking mechanism has a safety feature that allows you to lock them in place so that they cannot be tightened or loosened at all once set, so as to avoid cutting off the circulation to your wrist, ankle, etc by over-tightening.  The instructions explain how to engage/disengage this feature.<br />  I ordered these leg irons as part of a gift for a friend.  He's getting a metal case to keep his collectable cards in and these so he can handcuff himself to said case (the Blues Brothers carried their microphone around like this, which is what gave me the idea).  Kind of a joke gift, but he still needed some way to carry and secure the cards, so this is a functional gift in a sense too.  These leg irons were a better buy than most handcuffs I looked at for this purpose, because they give you more chain between the cuffs, which makes it more comfortable to handcuff oneself to a metal briefcase.  Some types of handcuffs just have a hinge at the wrists and no chain links at all.
