X-Shears are worth carrying as a single purpose tool. They cut through ANYTHING and don't fatigue your hands when you've got a badass job like cutting someone out of turnouts and SCBA harnesses. I have $400 worth of them and drill some of the handles for a tiny split ring to attach to a Keyback 48 Plus retractor. I'll carry X-Shears before a fancy pocket knife or any other EDC tool on my own personal time.
I have a pair of Raptors and I absolutely love them - I'm a box medic in central Florida and have them attached to my radio belt and use them ALL the time, definitely my most frequently used tool at work
@@studentparamedics a paramedic on the ambulance/rescue - it’s just the nickname we use for a medic who is always on the rescue vs. riding on an engine or a truck (because the rescue looks like a box lol)
I bought like 5 pairs of County Comm trauma shears. Whenever I would let people borrow my Leatherman Raptors, I would notice a lot of people would try to hold onto them. I'd always have to ask for them back. 💀💀💀
Great video! Having tried many shears in the field, I find the xshears cut through absolutely everything and are wicked easy to clean. On the other hand, raptors are phenomenal rescue tools with multiple functions. It's all about preference, and what you need them for.
Cheers legend! I agree. It’s hard to overstate or deny the superiority of the XShears - but I’ll always carry a set of raptors or One Shears because oxygen keys are 👌 so useful haha.
After getting tired of using the freebies I usually use I bought myself a set of Xshears. Even just the way they feel in the hand is so much better than anything else I've used. I was considering a set of raptors but I already carry a Skeletool Rx that I got as a gift so there wasn't any point in something over double the price
Yea mate I totally agree! XShears kill the raptors. I have both and only ever use the raptors for said multitools (which you can get elsewhere individually cheaper) 🙌
Gotta say, cheap isn't always nasty. I got a two-pack of generic Chinesium shears off Amazon for around 13 pound (one pair for an FAK, one for around the house). I've used the 'house' ones to open clamshell packaging, cut fabric, coax cable, paracord, carpet, and god knows what else, and they have never let me down. Even the black coating hasn't worn off! Don't know if I just got lucky, but it's the best value £6.50 I've ever spent.
The video is a bit chaotic. Jumping between testing and promo's, then back to testing, then back to a previous shear. Thankfully the conclusion was clear.
Personalmente poseo una Xshear, es una tijera grandiosa, aparte es amigable para el uso por zurdos, no así la raptor que es incomoda para usar por zurdos
“I personally own an Xshear, it's a great scissors, apart from that it is friendly to the use by left-handers, not so the raptor that is uncomfortable to use by left-handers” They’re certainly comfy to use!..
Not sure if youve ever used or held a SOF-T TQ but if a pair of shears can handle that then denim is a breeze. Plus, most $10-$15 shears can cut thru denim.

Sweet! What’s a box medic?

Ah, gotcha! Aus and US are so different hey!
@@weston407I’m also weston who lives in Central Florida lmao. Just not a paramedic

Haha mercccy. No one knows the value of a good set of shears until they try them for themselves hey!
Love you’re UN. Arby n the Chief?

I have a set of X Shears, and they are the best. I wish they incorporate an oxygen wrench in their version 2 at some point.
Is this sped up? This feels uncomfortable to watch

Marvellous feedback thanks mate!
Waiting for my XShear order!😊
Awesome legend! You won’t be disappointed!! 🙌
My raptors are amazing it’s the gold standard imo
X-Shears for me. They will go through anything but dony buy the buy their expensive rigid holster. Bulky and impractical.
How about the garden shears 🤔
Haha maybe that would make a good TikTok 😂 tbf we do those kinds of weird comparisons there.

The winner x shears
I totally agree! They’re fantastic for their price point and simplicity.
Hi, where can I find the scabbard for the response?
I’m not sure they have holsters for that currently! MyMedEquip have the standard Leatherman holster for the Rescues.
Awesome channel!
Thanks legend. I appreciate it!
Where is the SOG shears? So much better then most of these.
Turnn down the music, audio is not great. Good info marred by trying to listen in a loud club, makes this video frustrating.
No denim in the test seems like a big oversight.
Cutting through leather and metal not enough?..
@@studentparamedics I bet you wear a leather and metal helmet to protect your soft spot.
Lol righto
@@studentparamedics most people wear denim jeans... It's totally different cutting through denim than leather or metal. 😂

🤩🤩
Couldn’t agree more 👏
