Are they leatherman's? No they're not Don't expect them to be for $27. But they get the job done, plus if I lose them at work, I'm not losing $100 tool. You can almost buy four of these for the same price as a leatherman. And if I'm going to be honest? They do the job. They fold out quick and they fold up pretty smoothly. You're not going to have any problems with these.

The shears are as good of quality as I have found in the generic category. The holster, however, is a non starter. It is a nice looking invitation to buy another shear because this one will get lost. There are other, better choices of the same item with a much better, specifically designed sheath that allows carry in the open and closed position.

I've seen lots of reviews before I bought this. I compared it to one of my co-workers Raptor. It fits in the Leatherman Raptor holder w/o issues. So, if you want to replace the nylon case you can, The nylon case it comes with could be better but it works. Accidental dropping is possible, just be aware so you don't loose it (I almost did on my first call using it). I haven't done the "Penny cutting" test, don't need them to cut metal. The clothing, 4x4's and CLING I have cut, it does nicely. Head-to-head, the ONLY difference besides the "price" (Raptors are over $75, these shears are $30-$35) is the seatbelt cutter. The Raptor version locks in place and is a push button release. In this "generic" Raptor, the seatbelt cutter does NOT lock in place. All other features O2 wrench works fine, ring cutter works great. Have not used the window punch. I really like this product and have not seen any "rusting" like other people have complained about. I'll update if I find any changes.

Just keep them around for whatever you need to cut, they work well.

Nice tool that fits in a pocket.

Just buy it. It's badass and very nice quality. I rarely can give 5 stars but this was a solid 4.9. Only ding I'd give it the case which I'll toss in the trash because the shears have a nice stainless steel belt clip. I might buy a second to clip on my jeep visor. Built in Seatbelt hook cutter, ring (wire) cutterand window breaker are beautifully integraded.

Relatively cheap and just as effective

If you're in EMS or fire, these take up very little space but work fine.

I liked it enough to order another. Sharp amp; versatile. Good to have with first aid kit.

Top notch product. I've cut through all sorts of clothing and garments like butter with these. The seat belt ripper works very well and the glass breaker does the job on vehicle windows.

For general multi-purposes tool including emergency and non-emergency medical necessities.

Came in a nice box, would be perfect to gift to the medical pro in your life. As a nurse I use them daily, and people come to me to borrow them. Great price great quality, extremely useful!

Great for a first responder

This is an awesome set of sheers that have been invaluable in my job as a 911 EMT. The only downside is that the articulating holster likes to flip upside down a lot, and a couple times the sheets have fallen out (hence why I bought two sets, because I want a backup when I inevitably loose my first set on a crazy scene or something)The other thing that INFURIATED me at first is how incredibly difficult the holster is to get off your belt/pants. It has like 3 hooking pieces that make it near impossible to get off your person quickly or without looking and figuring it out like a puzzle. (Im getting used to it tho) but thats also a plus; the holster will NEVER ACCIDENTALLY COME OFF.

work well,nice and sharp

i work in a level 1 trauma center ER and have had these for a year now. they're amazing for the price. they're heavy and sharp. they've cut through everything i've ever used them on with ease.

no instructions on how to fold and unfold

Nothing.

As a paramedic, I've used the Leatherman Raptor scissors often. I wanted one for myself, but was put off by the price. Bought these scissors the other day. Almost an identical copy, on features, sturdiness and weight. And at least $60 cheaper. They're a keeper!

The shears are great! The holder stinks. My shears keep falling out, which is not great on emergency scenes
