On a list of skills for your average South African might need to learn, restraining a criminal might be on it. Physically restraining an individual is both physically and legally risky. Physically: Because it means you are in extremely close proximity to someone who wishes you no good will. Legally: Because if your restrain/arrest someone for the wrong reason or they are injured whilst they are restrained can lead to legal bills. But the sad fact is that the ordinary South African civvie might have to perform a citizen’s arrest and detain someone until the police arrive; eventually. TheQuarterMaster can assist by supplying the correct Handcuffs or Cuff Ties. Usually if you hand over a hand cuffed suspect to the SAPS you can expect your hand cuffs to go with the suspect to the holding cell and most likely you are not going to get it back. TheQuarterMaster has a Handcuffs ranging in Quality and Price: The Republic Arms Hand Cuffs are top of the range and have a reputation internationally for being robust and well made. Look after them and they will serve you for a lifetime. The Midrange Hand Cuffs work well to do the job at hand and if you lose them they will not break the bank either. The Flexi-Cuffs are ideal for when mass arrests are made and you have to quickly and safely restrain groups of individuals E.g. Gangs, syndicate members etc. No key is required and they are incredibly strong. They must be removed with the use of side cutters. Using a knife is going to result in injury.

Among the devices that TheQuarterMaster sells are those that make a noise. A very loud noise. And if you couple it with it being an unexpected loud noise then you have both and alarm and a deterrent to alert you to intruders and to scare them off. The BangAlert is a tripwire device that uses, well, a trip wire and a .27 Calibre Hilti Cap to make a loud noise (Similar to a Gunshot) and if it is in a confined space, passage or room believe me it is even louder! Use it to secure either perimeters or outbuildings and campsites. It is rugged, weather proof and requires no batteries and will not harm pets or children if set off accidentally. Obviously the closer you are the greater the fright. Even if you do not hear the “Bang” if you patrol the area you installed the Bang Alert you will notice if it has been set off. Set the trip wire just below knee height and you should be good to go. If you are sneaky you will alter the angle and length of the trip wire each time it is set off and keep the bad guys guessing. We also have hand held Compressed Air Noise Blaster in a range of sizes. It give a deafening sound to raise an alarm, scare off/frighten bad guys as well as Elephants and other critters. Seriously: One customer order a quite a few of the larger Air Horns that are used on a Game Reserve to scare off Elephants and it seems to work? As the saying goes: YMMV (Your Miles May Vary) so please be prudent. If you have unwelcome guests at night and you are secure it will be extremely effective giving off a loud piecing blast. If you use a series of short blasts it can signal a fire, intruders or a specific emergency event which if everyone is trained to react to can speed up the response and hopefully reduce the severity. With a smaller unit it can scare off a mugger or signal when you are lost. It does not require batteries and is simply to use with minimal training. This is what TheQuarterMaster does: Help you prepare for those events that can be life changing and hopefully reduce its severity. (A blast of noise might just do it) All the best Camo and TheQuarterMaster Crew
