These durable folding shears are equipped with serrated edges to grip fabric and materials for quick, precise cuts. They can also be disassembled for easy cleaning and maintenance—perfect for repeated field use.
2. Strap Cutter
The integrated strap cutter includes a locking safety liner and can be operated one-handed—even while wearing aviator-style gloves. It works whether the shears are open or closed, ensuring immediate access in emergencies.
3. Ring Cutter
Designed to handle most standard gold bands, the Raptor’s ring cutter is a vital tool for safely removing jewelry from injured patients.

No oxygen wrench? No problem. The Raptor has one built right into the strap cutter, giving responders quick access to life-saving oxygen without carrying extra tools.

The handle includes a carbide-tipped glass breaker, strong enough to shatter civilian-grade glass in seconds—crucial during vehicle rescues or other high-stress situations.
6. MOLLE-Compatible Holster
When not in use, the Raptor folds neatly into its injection-molded polymer holster. Built from glass-filled nylon, the holster attaches securely to MOLLE gear, rotates for quick access, and stores the shears in either the open or closed position.
