Xshear 7.5" Black Titanium Coated Extreme Duty Trauma Shears - Tough and Durable Medical Scissors for Emergency Healthcare Provider

Absolutely love these. I work in an operating theatre and these shears are perfect, particulalry in the Orthopedics end. They cut like a hot knife through butter. I even have to keep my eye on them to ensure the surgeons dont sneak them away!! A little on the expensive side but they are definately better than raptors as you dont have to faff about opening them etc and no pointy bits! Shape wise they're ideal too particularly when removing thick bandages. I have been using these shears for two years now and they are still as good as when I first purchased them so all in all good value for money.

Great shears, at 50-60% the cost of raptors. Unfortunately, that will set the tone for this review, a comparison of X-shears to the raptors, as that is the only measure. These trounce the standard fayre of disposables, yes even the Clauss titanium and NAR shears. If you’re looking for the same cutting power as the raptor, without the bells and whistles (let’s face it, we never use any of them) and like to keep your tools clean then these are for you. They don’t seem to suffer the same rusting issues as the raptor, and do fit in the shears pocket of my ambo issued trousers as well as my 5.11’s. Used to cut leathers, jeans, ballistic nylon, rope under tension, and the standard bandages etc. I usually scrunch tops up into one handful and slice the lot with one snip. Ok, a slight con is the shape, they do look funky - but that is let’s rally the only con I have found with these. Full disclosure: I’ve only been using these 2 months now, but have used them quite extensively. They’re still as sharp as day 1, no visible wearing of the black coating, and no rust. The handles do hold a couple of scratches where the plastic has come into contact with stuff but nothing major.

For: XShear trauma shears are well made and are easy to clean. They can cut through thick clothing without bending or getting damaged and hold their edge for a long time. Against: They're expensive and aren't sold with a holster or pouch. However, those items are available to purchase separately. Compared to cheaper trauma shears they are an excellent buy.

I have used a lot of shears from the dirt cheap to the Leatherman Raptors. These are by far my favourite! Still not cheap but well worth the extra for the quality and sharpness these provide.

Amazing product and when I had to contact the seller they were extremely helpful and fast to reply and fix a mistake I made.

As good as they are popular. Solid, sturdy and great value.

I have owned these shears now for about three months and I can say without a doubt they are the best thing I have bought myself for work in the twelve years I've been working in EMS. I work in a fairly busy urban area and run a lot of calls during my 60ish hour work weeks. There has not been a single thing so far these shears cannot cut through without ease. Clothing is like cutting through paper, tough leather boots don't stand a chance, and makes fairly short work of even bunker gear (don't worry it was a scrap during a training exercise! :P) I was skeptical because I have used other co-workers raptors, and I'll be honest I hate them. I thought it was a HUGE waste of money, and I cannot stand the fold to close design. My partner also thought they were a waste of money, her first words to me were "Why did you buy shears when work hands them out like candy?" The difference is immeasurable, if you've only used the cheapos from your service or the handouts during EMS week then you will be in for a huge surprise. Build quality is amazing, the first thing people are in awe of is the weight and heft. They just feel great in the hand, they don't feel like they're going to break when you cut through something tough, and the open and close is just tight enough to feel great. As another review mentioned you really feel none of the added resistance closing them because the blades just slide through things like a hot knife through butter. If I could improve on this design it would be to add a window punch, I do have to get a separate window punch and carry that on me in case we're beating fire to the scene and need one. I would also like to see them offered in more colors. Other than those two suggestions I can't think of a single thing to improve these shears.

These look very high quality and well made - just be aware that the large handle loop is about half an inch longer than normal trauma shears and as a result I cannot fit them into any standard shear holster for scuba diving. I suppose I could see something custom using webbing and velcro but that is alot of faff...so I am going to return these and order the 6" mini xshears directly from the manufacturer. I realize this is a very niche use case and that most people are probably buying these for medical use. They look like excellent shears fwiw.

Son bastante ligeras, pero que no te lleves a confusión, cortan y mucho

Hätte nie gedacht mich so über eine Schere zu freuen! Eigentlich gekauft als Safety Schere für Spiele mit Seilen, Aber Man freut sich jetzt auch so jedes mal drauf wenn es irgendwas anderes zu schneiden gibt.

Farbe geil, Material geil, Anwendung geil. Kein Schnickschnack, pure Funktion. Sauscharf und ultra stark, damit kann man auch dünnes Blech zerschneiden. Motorradbekleidung, dicke Schnüre aber auch mal ein Pflaster fein zurechtschneiden ist gar kein Problem. Auch im Garten sehr nützlich um dünnere Äste abzulängen. Super Sache, würde ich mir wieder kaufen. Beschichtung hält auch lange.
