North American Rescue Trauma Shear (7 1/4 Inch) NAR Premium Grade Black Safety Shears Medical Scissors (ZZ-0063)

I was looking for a good pair of trauma shears for my personal first aid kit, and after some research, i decided on these.wow, i have never been this impressed with a tool before. they are razor sharp, easy to handle, and pretty inexpensive. the oxygen key is a really nice touch, and it's also helpful that it is autoclavable.The blades are curved so that they are always in contact, which allows them to cut through virtually anything. yes, i tried cutting through a penny and these things did so with ease.although i hope i'll never have to use them, i know i can count on them if i need them. absolute no brainer for anyone looking for great quality, semi-disposable trauma shears

A good, quality pair of shears will literally save someone's life and are worth every penny, and should be able to cut through one too. They aren't a piece of equipment to skimp money on. Buy once, cry once. And knkw you are investing in a company and product that is worth your money.Pros:Build quality is superb. I definitely trust my life to these shears. I know if, God forbid I ever have to use these to save a life they are there and ready. They are also a great multi-use item. Open packages, food, MREs, cut through tape, you name it. These things can do it.Cons:Some may say price and save a couple bucks by buying something cheaper. But I beg of you, don't. Cheap shears are not guaranteed to work, like I said. Buy once. Cry once.This next con is not on the manufacturer but an end user issue. Either put some bright colored tape on the thumb hole or get a lanyard or one of the retractable ID holder. Something. Take it from me, if you set those things on the ground because you need both hands to do work. That's it. They are gone. Good luck finding them. Especially in low light. Trust me, I've replaced too many pair of these to not share this advice lolOverall:Great product, worth the money. Buy 2 or 3 of them just in case. Most med kits and trauma kits do not supply shears anymore. So keep that in mind if you have plused up on medical training and are buying your first kit. (Don't buy a truama kit from amazon go to NAR website and go direct)

I bought a couple of brands with this one when I wanted some good trauma shears. Some were so-so. This product is the only one that measured up to the quality of a pair that am EMT left behind when transporting me to the hospital one day (which is how I got introduced to trauma shears in the first place). They will cut through tin cans, heavy leather, they will chop ball point pens in half, open the most tamper resistant electronics packaging. You can amputate fingers (!?!), trim your toenails, cut dimes in half, etc.

I've unfortunately not experienced much trauma since purchasing these, but they have found themselves useful as a general purpose tool in my truck/camping kit. They are good quality and I expect them to outlast me. They get compliments when I break them out around the kitchen too. Most men will want two sets.

Its so hard to say anything else other than these are the best medical shears youll have. They are strong, tough, the right size, easy to clean, you can't go wrong with NAR products and I trust them with my life

So far so good. These are the perfect size and a great option if you don’t want or can’t pay for the more expensive options.

The NAR trauma shears I received had stamped on the side of one blade made in Taiwan not USA. Other side has the NSN stamped on it. Other than that it seems to be well made, time will tell on quality of shears.

I carry these every day as a firefighter and I’ve had to use these a bunch. Not gonna lie at first I was a little skeptical due to the price being pretty low but I love these. I’ve cut through pants, shirts, jeans, belts, and more with these and they still cut just the same. Anyone who actually needs something to rely on should definitely give these a try.
