BEST TRAUMA SHEAR? LEATHERMAN RAPTOR - RESPONSE VS RESCUE

[@devonianera]

I appreciate that you compared and demonstrated the differences between the two Leatherman trauma shears along with regular scissors and general shears. You can really tell the difference quality shears make!

[@ShortStackSurvival]

Thank you, I'm glad you found the video useful!

[@nickc8819]

Thumbs up for this video. Man as a Corpsman in serving Marines in combat (Iraq) this trauma shears would of been ideal! Vice carrying so much as my EDC, multi-tool, (spring loaded) window breaker, belt cutter, ring cutter (turning handle bulky ). O2 key !!! Also has a cool appeal to them, it's worth a few dollars, for the long haul ounces = pounds = pain

[@ShortStackSurvival]

Thank you, they definitely are pretty awesome trauma sheers.

[@SHatFT]

So many "that's what she said" opportunities and the "scissoring" references sealed it for me! Great review too...thanks!

[@ShortStackSurvival]

Haha thank you! If it weren’t for the magic of editing, it would have been a non-stop giggle-fest of scissoring innuendos! :)

[@SHatFT]

@@ShortStackSurvival you're very welcome and thanks for the laughs! I can't imagine how long it took to edit this one. Keep em coming lol.

[@nickmartino2839]

I've found that the seat belt cutter does actually work very well while in the open position for any type of need where someone needs to have there top removed...ei jacket shirt any type of clothing like that... the actual cutter part of the scissor works to aid in slipping them up the patient under there clothing.... then you just simply run them up and out the top turn and pull back... and they work phenomenal for cutting off a shirt or top of any kind

[@ShortStackSurvival]

Nice! Sounds like you’re actually getting to use these the way they were intended! It’s good to know they work well in real life situations.

[@manuelaj3z116]

I'm using the rescue raptor in the jungle of Ecuador, is a overkill for scissors task, and hurt the hand if you want to use it for a long time, the hook knife helps for small task's, the glass punch help open small boxes or oil cans, the thing for improve is the ergonomics for long term use

[@ShortStackSurvival]

I absolutely agree! I definitely think this is where the raptor response shines, it is sooooo much more comfortable to use and it doesn’t hurt your hand like the rescue. If you ever get a chance to try one out, I would highly recommend it, as long as you don’t need all the features that the rescue has. :) Thank you so much for the comment! What brought you to the jungle of Ecuador?

[@manuelaj3z116]

@@ShortStackSurvival im geophysicist and the company I work for is doing a mining exploration, here the terrain is insanely hard, hot weather and rainy season, so is a regular job for us, here I'm also using the Leatherman surge and in working like a champ with zero maintenance, also using the Bowie from boker Argentina big knife and everyone love it.

[@ShortStackSurvival]

@@manuelaj3z116 Wow! That sounds like a very interesting job and an adventurous one at that! It looks like you have a lot of amazing tools on hand, I have a Leatherman Wave that I absolutely love, I think it’s similar to the surge.

[@manuelaj3z116]

@@ShortStackSurvival the good part of this job is travel around the world and meet knew people and culture, the down side is been away from the family for long periods of time.

[@ShortStackSurvival]

@@manuelaj3z116 I can only imagine being away for an extended period of time. I’ve been away from my family but only for a few weeks at a time, but even then it was tough. Hopefully you get to see your family soon!

[@nolanmccallum-cottle349]

I would definitely need and XXL version of shears lol. Its cool that you compared the two and and what application would work best for you and your body so your most effective. Another great video hope you get better 😊

Thanks for the comparison 👍 I will buy the rescue!

[@ShortStackSurvival]

You’re welcome! The rescue is a great option!

[@187chona]

Thanks for the comparison !

[@ShortStackSurvival]

You are very welcome!

[@mattthadd4663]

Great shears. But the rescues don’t fit in the 5.11 EMS pant vertical pockets. So it takes extra time to put them in service on scene. Pretty much the only gripe from the providers that use them in my department.

[@ShortStackSurvival]

Oh bummer! I wonder if the response would fit in that pocket? I have a pair of my old 5.11 pants from my days as a LEO but they aren’t the EMS ones specifically, otherwise I’d try it out for yah. Have you tried the belt mount or carrying them like a pocket knife with the clip? I’ve also seen some really cool Kydex sheaths on Etsy.com that might be worth looking into. Thanks for sharing your experience, I’m sure it will be helpful to other first responders.

[@ShortStackSurvival]

Thank you so much and welcome to the channel! :)

[@RB-xv4si]

I get what you’re saying about the handle comfort being better on the Response than the Rescue. I ended up buying the Rescue just because I wanted the more narrow profile to make sure it fit into my IFAK. Also, I’d likely be using them with gloves on my hands, so I need the larger holes of the Rescue. Good review.

[@ShortStackSurvival]

Thank you! I definitely think if you are wearing gloves and/or have big hands the Rescue is the way to go. If you just have nitrile gloves on, I think the response would be a good option. It’s nice Leatherman gave us a few options to best suit our needs. Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it!

[@francescoorassi]

Hi, where can I find the scabbard for the response?

[@ShortStackSurvival]

The leatherman response does not come with a scabbard from the factory but I did find some cool options on ETSY and Amazon - I’ll put the links below (they are non-affiliate so I don’t get anything if you click them). www.etsy.com/listing/1212076788/ iGuerburn Raptor Shears Holster for Leatherman Raptor Response Emergency Shears Only, EDC Raptor Shears Sheath Case with Tactical Belt Clip (Only Included Holder) a.co/d/3AiSz2X

[@nickmartino2839]

I've grown to absolutely love using and having my raptors.... but the lanyard hole has always boggled me as to why!!!! I mean i know why... but the second you put any type of cord there the holster becomes absolutely useless!!!! Lol but other than that i absolutely love them

[@ShortStackSurvival]

Hey, I’m glad you like them too! As far as I understand, the holster can be used with the scissors in the closed and open configuration. I believe if you want to run a lanyard, you would just keep them open and holster it that way. Maybe give it a try and see which way works best for you!

[@dereckjtbear2175]

Just purchased a genuine Leatherman Raptor response for an incredible discount,However remains to seen so if it is Leatherman I'll be super chuffed. BTW,purchased a cheaper generic scissors day before,unfortunately.

why is there a tactical vest on the coffee table

Because ‘MERICA! Also because I keep a pair of Raptor shears on my plate carrier and it looks cool. :)

There is a new diving shears with a sheath

[@ShortStackSurvival]

Who makes them? I just checked the Leatherman website and couldn’t find anything.

[@mirkokrizan214]

Nice vid.

[@ShortStackSurvival]

Thank you!

[@IlIlIlllIlIlIllli]

How long do they last in sharpness

[@ShortStackSurvival]

I suppose it would depending on frequency of use and what materials you are cutting through. If the shears do happen to dull over time, Leatherman states you can sharpen them as follows: Lay the serrated shear flat against a sharpening stone and sharpen the back side (inside that rubs against non-serrated shear) which will knock off any burr on the serrated edge and recreate a sharp corner for the other shear to cut against.

[@tedsemonis7905]

Cheaper cost 3 dollars raptor cost 70 dollars, get what you can afford, plus do you use them every day? Medical is a touchy subject, tourniquet is to stop major bleeding or lose of limb. (Only good for one (1) HOUR, decompression needles you need certification. The Hippocratic oath first i will do no harm. learn to do stiches or get a staple gun and remover (hurt like hell both ways) Special forces medical book. (Buy books of all kinds, internet may not work) Remember the golden hour, if no medical help is coming its best guess, war rules apply.

[@ShortStackSurvival]

Again, all great points you’ve made. As a previous first responder I agree that medical training is a must. I just wanted to give people a comparison of the two trauma sheers so they can make an informed decision when purchasing.

American made? Not to sound like an a-hole buuuuut .... If you ever gave me the choice between US and JP made tools - same design and all - JP would win every time ô_o ... Nobody makes quality TOOLS like japan does. Now if you'll excuse me, I made myself curious as to what japan exports in terms of ER-compatible hardware :')

[@ShortStackSurvival]

To each their own, buy whatever tools you’d like from wherever you prefer them be made. I just prefer to buy American made if I can, but I wouldn’t hesitate to buy quality tools from Japan .
