Paramedic here, Love how light these are, I wear them on my belt when I’m on my truck and I can hardly tell they are there. I wish they had a pocket clip just because they are so light and thin, but not a deal breaker and well protected with pouch anyway. But I absolutely love these things! Just love that they have multiple tool within design, and they honestly go everywhere with me everyday in my bag. But at work they stay on my belt or vest!

The ParaShears perform great in a day to day basis. I have no complaints other than the fact that the spiked tip of the glass breaker fell of after a couple of days.

Compact, strong, handy. Good storage pouch. Perfect complement to my aid gear. The black pair blends in but always handy for dressings or seatbelts.

Purchased as a gift. Seems well-made and compact.

Very useful tool! Highly recommend! Compact and great looking!

Pros: folding, leverage, autoclave cleaning, Small frame when closed, even small parts are very durable Cons: short blades, poorly placed O2 wrench, cleaning without use of an autoclave, unnecessary extras, no pants pocket clip The molle pouch and small frame would make it nice for cops who want a pair of shears to hide somewhere on their belt or vest, the cons won't bother you if you're only useing them every now and again to cut clothes or seatbelts. For EMTs and medics constantly pulling them out of the pouch and unfolding them all the time is going to annoy you, a pocket clip would be nice. Unless you have an autoclave on your rig, cleaning them after a trauma is difficult. The O2 wrench isn't the best, but gets the job done. The shears cut well but are a bit short for shaping splints and cutting motorcycle leather. The finger holes are big enough for most types of gloves. The seatbelt cutter and window punch might work ok, but I wouldn't trust it to self egress out of a vehicle in an emergency

I use this tool daily and love it. Had a friend complement me on it so purchased another as a gift.

Best shears I have ever owned. They are very strong and love the pouch it comes with.

Got this as a Father's day gift. compared to the raptor, it appears to be more versatile and will put up to more abuse.

The shears and the folding compound leverage are the only solid features on this tool. The glass breaker is horribly placed and is cumbersome to use. The strap cutter is flimsy and hangs lose off the side of the tool like a hangnail. The twizzers have rounded edges are incapable of grabbing a hair let alone a splinter. The can opener & bottle opener are flimsy and have rounded edges for flat screwdriver blades. The philips head is rounded and can’t driver a #2 philips screw. Why not put the glass breaker on the tip of the handle for striking, a solid strap cutter that nestled in vs hangs off the side, a more robust philips and sharper twizzers? Sorry but the seriousness of which this tool was envisioned for deserved far better quality and less qimicky components.
