Reviews

1. J J. Price 5/5

   Solid quality overall

   Excellent build and workmanship. Very pleased with the purchase.

2. G Graham Lee Ferguson 5/5

   A staple for clinical shifts

   Durable, sharp and streamlined. I carry mine in the ER and use it frequently — a reliable piece of kit for nurses and physicians.

3. J John 5/5

   Worth choosing over cheap imitations

   Compared to off-brand versions, the real unit’s build quality is obvious. Coworkers with knockoffs have had retention and safety issues — one suffered a cut because their cutter lacked a safety mechanism. I’m glad I opted for the genuine article; it’s solid and practical.

4. J Jimmy S 5/5

   Exceeded expectations from a longtime Leatherman fan

   As a long-term Leatherman user dating back decades, I’ve owned many of their tools. The Raptor shears are a standout — rugged, well thought-out, and ideal for field work. In my former law-enforcement role I carried trauma shears constantly; these feel like a solid upgrade when you need reliability in the field.

5. B Bernard C Cook 5/5

   Heavy-duty, travel-ready rescue shears

   Well constructed and highly functional, these are a useful addition to my everyday kit for travel, trekking and overland trips.

6. D Daniel 5/5

   ER nurse: sharp, reliable and purpose-built

   Working in a busy ER, these shears have been indispensable. They outperform ordinary trauma scissors, cutting through denim, boots and dressings quickly while minimizing risk to the patient. The extra tools — strap cutter, oxygen wrench, ring cutter and carbide glass breaker — are genuinely useful during codes and trauma calls, reducing the number of items I need to grab. They fold compactly and sit securely in the included holster for belt carry. Overall, a professional-grade, dependable tool for nurses and first responders.

7. A Alain Chartrand 5/5

   Qualité élevée

   Matériaux et finition de très bonne qualité.

8. O onlygavinever 5/5

   Clearly superior to the copies

   After trying several knockoffs, the genuine unit is in a different league. It opens quickly when needed and stores neatly in the hard holster whether folded or open, with two secure placements.

9. H Henry P. 5/5

   Bought for EMT school — heavy-duty but needs daily use

   I purchased these for EMT training and found them extremely versatile, especially the oxygen tank wrench during practice. If you only need shears for a short course, a cheap pair will do; these are true professional tools that shine with regular use. They cut through clothing smoothly and earned nicknames from classmates for their look and capability.

10. D Dylan Shackelton 5/5

    Secure in the sheath and duty-belt compatible

    Some reviews mention it falling out of the sheath, but if you seat it properly it locks in place and stays put. It fits a 2.25" duty belt snugly and feels sturdier than most trauma shears. You can store it folded or open in the holster, which is handy on scene.

11. G George 5/5

    35 years of experience — impressively powerful

    I was skeptical after decades using standard trauma shears, but a single use changed my mind. These deliver far more cutting force and handle fabric bunching that trips up ordinary scissors. The design keeps cuts clean without wrestling the material, making rescues faster and less fiddly.
