I am a 25 year veteran paramedic with a private ambulance company. I purchased these trauma shears for a “battle belt” I had been working on at home (It’s a hobby, ok. Lol). Trauma shears are weird. They’re either super disposable and cheaply made or they are HUGE and costly. My One Shear purchase was a happy medium. They fit snuggly in my battle belt’s med kit without needing to be unfolded, but are strong enough to cut through multiple layers of clothing. I am very satisfied with my purchase.
