I've been using these since they first came out, great tool to keep close by. I used the window punch once in training and it worked well. Scratched the handle all up but still functional. My wife is an ER nurse and carries a pair with her also. She's used the ring cutter multiple times on soft metal rings and its worked like a champ. If you're a First Responder, you can register with Leatherman for their Leatherman Pro discount and get these things for 40 bucks. Well worth it.

These are my EDC as a medic... The ring cutter is amazing. There are a few fingers saved from bent rings in this world. Plus it will cut through fish hooks and some gauges of wire

I have a few pairs of these scissors. Love them, amazing product. Used in mass casualty decontamination lines to cut people out of clothing, JSLIST, etc. The hook worked very well and was a reliable tool to have at your side. Did use the ring cutter on many casualties in Iraq. Used on various metal rings and never had any issues with them not working. Great tip with the loctite by the way. If you are a combat medic, CLS, CBRN, firefighter, first responded, law enforcement, or etc, I highly recommend you have having a set of Raptor Trauma Shears in your kit.

Just got this as a Valentine’s Day gift. Adoring it so far

Bought a pair of these and I’m super impressed with the quality. Leatherman did really well with this product 👌🏻

Just watched one of your videos and you mention 50,000 subscribers. Well done love your work.

“Almost at a hundred subs”. Glad to see you’re doing good ;-)

Just saw this video after getting a pair of Leatherman Raptors, one for me and one for a fellow responder. I can tell you how the window punch works since I used it when I went through auto extrication training. I had to hit the car side window from the outside twice to shatter the window. What a lot of guys love using for busting car windows is a spring punch. Those are hilariously easy to use but I love having this in a pinch if I cant find those. The wide handle makes it pretty easy to get a grip on the tool when using fireman's gloves.

I bought one after watching this and absolutely love it! Only downside is that I have to carry a cheap one for high contamination situations because it's a pain to disinfect these shears.

Thanks for the review and thanks for a bunch of helpful comments from your viewers.

Your vids are ALWAYS well done with clarity and mucho good info., Been wanting the Shears for a number of years now. Gonna buy them for myself for Christmas😎👍.

Great review! Things I would just mention is that the Ruler functions as an EKG ruler and the Propper, Tru Spec, and Elbeco EMS pants' scissor pockets are compatible with the raptors.

These are my favorite scissors. I keep them in aid bags, my vehicle and have used them from everything from first aid to processing wild game.

Damn! What a useful tool lol!! Amazing video.

Random tip. You can tighten the torx safety screws with a small flat head screwdriver if you can't get the proper tool to tighten it with.

I volunteer with animal rescue and these are great for freeing marine animals entangled in fishing web, lines, nylon strings, etc. People who dive near me usually carry shears like these in their boats in case they encounter a marine animal needing help

Thanks for the Review. Your recommendation has pushed me to give Raptors to my two nieces, one a PA and the other just finishing her nursing degree. But I've opted for the XShears for myself, really sturdy shears for a price Range of $33 to $37, but I'm not a professional EMS guy, just trying to put together kits for myself & some family & friends. My EDC is a SOG multitool w a double hinge arrangement that doubles the power of the plier/cutter, and I've used that for hundreds of tasks over the last few years. I'm afraid I would lose the Raptor! The ring-cutter is the only item I don't otherwise have in all my kits. Those Star-sockets have been around for a decade or more, but if you don't have the tool, you're SCROOD.

You can use a flat point screwdriver instead of the torx wrench to tighten those lose screws.

Awesome review! These things are brilliant. I might get a set to have in my mobile first aid kit. I'm guessing they have those torx screws so that you can take it apart to clean it if it gets bloody or dirty? That's my guess anyway. Normally leatherman tools are pinned together.

If you happen to carry a Leatherman with a bit extender. You can pick up a security bit set at about any hardware or automotive stores. If you really want to have fun, trying tightening the screws on one of the older Leathermans or the ones that use what they call the parse bits. The only place you can get the wrenches is from a fellow on EBAY out of Russia...

From 100 to 21 thousands subscribers wow

These look TOO BADASS! Looks like my girlfriend has my Christmas gift planned now lol

You should apply to Leathermam's pro deal. All military/LE/Fire/EMS and Ski Patroller, Avalanche Controller, Forest Service can apply to get a pretty nice discount on Leatherman Tools!

Price has increased on these but seems like a good tool to have around no doubt. What kind of material is one the finger loops? Just hight temp polymer? Does it offer any friction?

I kinda wanna get a pair of these for the bugout bag

I am considering purchasing the Raptors for myself and submitting a purchase order for my CERT team members. I would guess that the security screw with the tip in the middle is so that offenders and/or people in peril would have a heck of time undoing the tool as to use it against you. I've heard nothing but good things about this product!

Man your videos are good but I'll give you an advice, :) a short intro would be great

I wish there was a British channel like this lol

so, the window punch is amazing. works well... ring cutter kinda sucks. i've had it break on me twice

Thank you.

Watching this in 2022. One thing you showed the official Leatherman vid didn't is being able to holster them open. I can see that being useful if you need your hands free between cuts.

The raptors are nice but I agree with you it is a pain to keep tightening and tightening all the time

Thank You sir

They're actually called "tamper-proof" torx, and they're commonly used in the automotive industry as well. Not unusual to find them on ignition system components for anti-theft purposes. Not sure why they would be used on a tool like this, though. If I had to guess, it would probably be to prevent disassembly, though tamper proof torx tools are readily available on the market. Odd choice of fastener for the application, for sure.

Have you tried the S-CUT and if so what are your opinion on them?

I love my raptor, always carry it on my belt!

I would really like to hear your thoughts on the Victorinox Rescue Tool.

recommendations for carry on gun belt without its carrying case? looking 4 a discreet holster or a way to carry it. Tired of explaining to people what it is.

I got mine through Amazon, seller engraved them.

North American rescue have cheap disposable shears for about $3-$5 that work fine as long as you only use them once or twice anymore and they get all blunt and dont cut well

My dad bought a fake one I think because it doesn’t have any logos. But it looks the same. I wonder if the quality is the same.

Will the ring cutter work against a titanium ring? Asking for a friend…

To avoid losing expensive pieces of kit I purchased a Gear Keeper Scissor Leash, definitely worth the expense to keep kit safe. What do you guys use to avoid losing small items of kit?
