XSHEAR® 7.5” Extreme Duty Trauma Shears. Tough and Durable Medical Scissors for the Paramedic, EMT, Nurse or any Emergency Healthcare Provider - Blue/Gray

I wanna address the pants issue that people are having; watch the video, you probably just have a different style than other people that are leaving the “they don’t fit” reviews. At first glance, these things are the real deal. I’ve personally been waiting for a reason to get my hands on them and I eventually ran into an ER nurse that had a pair. Seeing them in person and watching them cut smoothly finally sold me. Are these worth $40? Yes. If you work in the medical field / EMS, doubly so. Usually I carry 2 pair of shears in case one decides to break down on me but after grabbing these I can free up some space lol. I hate to say I want to use them on a call myself but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited to break them in. They’re THICCC shears; I’d say you could melt down almost 3 disposable shears and melt them down into how thick the blades are. They can pass the ‘penny test’ which is pretty dope. I’m not gonna go out of my way to cut a penny but knowing that someone else has in their review is cool. The grips are very nice. Since they’re a soft rubber on the handles, there’s no room for error with regards to how disposables have the stamped plastic that’s usually sharp or not filed down. Gloves won’t snag on these handles. The blades are pretty slick. I like the flat smooth tips compare to how the disposables have that weird kinda flat notch on one blade. Do they fit in EMS pants? Depends on the pants. The video I uploaded covers what 5.11 sells so make your own judgement there. I recommend these. I will use these until they break and I don’t see that happening for a hot minute. Eventually I’ll upload an edit to this review after I’ve spent more time with them and have them worn in pretty well. Also, I am an EMT for reference incase that helps. *EDIT* ONE MONTH POST PURCHASE: Alright so recently I had a trauma call for a woman with a broken hip. If you are in the medical field you know that rule number one with trauma is to get'em naked so I finally flexed these bad boys. These shears are DEFINITELY the real deal. I was able to smooth right through a pair of jeans from the ankle to the waist as well as a belt that overlapped on itself (1cm thick of leather) with extreme ease. Above in this review I mentioned that they were a little stiff to operate initially BUT when you are going through the paces and in the heat of the moment, you don't even notice. I've cut through nasal cannula tubing, now jeans with a belt, and other miscellaneous things during the month I've owned them and I don't think I could recommend these enough. 100% worth the buy and I may even mess around and buy another set in blue. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY reccomend. *EDIT: THREE MONTHS LATER* So I want to address the pants issue what I spoke about with the shears initially. I ended up making the shears fit PERFECTLY when I put the blade into the pen holder and use the Velcro latch on my pats to go through the handle. By sacrificing the pen slot on my cargo pocket, it completely eliminated the pulling and stretching on the tab. This worked for both pants. Just make sure you feed the Velcro tab through the small handle on the shears and guide the blades into the pen pocket. As far as quality goes, the xShears are still kicking major butt. At this point I’ve cut through boots, belts, heavy denim, thick leather (the belt from the above review and some more) and they are still brand new. I’m beyond satisfied with this purchase and I’ll be buying another one for my partner as a Christmas gift. 10/10, no regrets. EDIT: One Year Later - Last review Still in EMS and I’ve used them at least once for the past 365 days. Still amazingly sharp like the day I got’em and are apart of my EDC. You can cut from the ankle to the neck of someone in about 15 seconds if your hand doesn’t cramp; I’ve done it with them. At this point, it’s knowing that I have reliability on my leg when I’m in the crap of calls. If you’ve read this far, just get’em dude.

I used the Leatherman Raptors for a long time, but I finally made the switch to these and I’m not looking back. The biggest issue with the Raptors is all the folding parts and hinges. They eventually get "gunked up" with... well, everything you encounter on the job. Once blood or fluids get into those tiny crevices, they are a total nightmare to deep clean. Plus, over time, all those moving parts just start to feel loose. The XSHEAR is just better for daily use: • Simple & Clean: These are a solid piece of gear. No folding hinges or hidden spots for gross stuff to hide. You just wipe them down and you’re good to go. • Built to Last: Because they don't fold, they feel way sturdier. There’s no "play" in the blades, and they don't get wobbly after a few months of heavy use. • Performance: They cut just as well (if not better) than the Raptors, but without the headache of maintaining a "multitool." If you’re tired of scrubbing gunk out of your folding shears with a toothbrush, just get these. They’re tougher, simpler, and way easier to keep sanitary.

I recently purchased my second pair of xShears, and I have to say, I’m just as impressed as I was with my first pair! The main reason I ordered this new pair? I couldn’t resist the awesome color options—purely a style choice! My original pair, which I’ve had for about five years, is still going strong. They’re as sharp and functional as the day I got them, even after putting them through the wringer cutting through Sam splints, zippers, and tough clothing. There are a few minor nicks in the blade from heavy use, but they still cut like a dream. I’m blown away by how lightweight yet incredibly durable these shears are. Thank you, xShears, for making such a reliable, high-quality product that holds up year after year! Highly recommend to anyone needing a dependable pair of shears.

Best scissors I’ve owned, worth the cost. Hope they hold up! I’ve been using them to cut 1-2 inch upholstery foam and they glide through it like butter. Extremely good for crafting and safer than other options I’ve tried.

Very sturdy and very sharp. An excellent purchase.

Haven't had them long, but the quality and build are top notch. Simple but well designed for their use. Blades are thick and seem very durable with no flex noted. The multitude of colors is a plus. Got the blue and very satisfied. For the price you can't go wrong.

I use the XShear 7.5” Extreme Duty Trauma Shears almost every day in the emergency department, and they perform flawlessly. They are extremely well-made, durable, and built to handle any cutting task I throw at them. fit perfectly to my hand. Simple to open. sleek and portable. This is actually my second pair, which says a lot about how much I rely on them. Compared to every other pair of shears I’ve used, these are far superior—stronger, sharper, and more reliable. Whether I’m cutting through clothing, bandages, or equipment, they never let me down. For anyone in a high-demand medical or emergency setting, these shears are absolutely worth it. Period.

These shears are fantastic, I gave this set as a gift but I have my own pair as well as the plastic holster for your belt. Better than RAPTORS any day. Tougher, stronger, cut through anything and you don’t have to look like a noob unfolding your little scissors 😂 I’m a paramedic and have used these to cut through clothes (obvi), barbed wire fencing, heavy winter coats, seat belts and air bags alike without any difficulty whatsoever! I love love love them

X shear mini scissor Light weight, super cool, the sharpness. I already enjoy using for my work. It’s very very nice to have it. Maybe in the near future I will buy again more different colors

Very good quality and easy to cut things like jeans, and any field dressing. Leverage is good but note these are not compound type pivots, but for a single pivot it has enough leverage and the blades short enough for medical field kits and carry.

Ohne Zweifel die beste Schere auf dem Markt. Das Ding geht wie Butter durch jede Motorradkombi, notfalls auch durch Handys, Schlüssel, Geldbeutel….(alles selbst erlebt) Klar man kann sie nicht falten aber muss man auch nicht, absolut geniale robuste Schere. Kaufe nix anderes mehr.

I'm an A&E Ambulance Technician. So far they've easily cut through everything I've tried with no problems at all, inc boots and motorbike leathers. Still seem as sharp as new. Seem very well designed and are super sturdy compared to the standard issue shears. Also, very easy to clean (esp compared to the Leatherman Raptor (which otherwise is a great, if expensive, bit of ki)t. Note: I did not buy the matching holster for 3 reasons: 1. Expensive - the combination of shears and holster gets you into Raptor price territory 2. Apparently though very secure the holster needs a 2 handed operation to get the shears out. Instead I use a cordura holster - there are lots of identical ones on Amazon (with a substantial price range. 3. It looks quite bulky for what it is. These are still expensive shears but should last years - if I don't loose them at a job!. Finally, don't check the $ price - you will only get depressed.
