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

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.

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.

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.
