Premium First Aid Shears
The SOG ParaShears are an incredibly versatile pair of rescue scissors for emergency workers and anyone who loves to come prepared. (Looking at you fellow EDC’ers) They were designed primarily for paramedics, firefighters and the police. Those who are first at the scene during an emergency. This multi-tool can cut through bandages belts, rubber, jeans and all kinds of other textiles. Use them safely and quickly to remove clothing from around an injury, to break through a car window or to cut through seat belts. Or really for any other task you hope you never have to carry out, but where acting quickly is key.
SOG Compound Leverage
SOG have developed a mechanism known as the ‘Compound Leverage System’. It’s a force multiplying arrangement of gears at the scissor pivot that allow tremendous force to be applied as you cut, it’s one of SOG’s showstoppers and something they’re well known for. Because of the serrations in the hinge the force you apply on the scissors increases. As such you can effortlessly cut through thick layers of jeans or leather in an emergency situation.
Sterilization From the Ground Up
One of the great things about this tool is that it’s made from materials that can withstand the autoclave. With it you can sterilize the tool after use. Not for everyone, but a definite bonus. We don’t like waste, and reusable tools are a must! The handle is made from FRN, a fiberglass-reinforced plastic and the scissors and other tools are made from 3Cr13 steel. Stainless and tough: great for daily use.
More Than Just Scissors
The SOG ParaShears also include a couple of other practical tools. A ruler in both mm and inches, a cutting hook, glass breaker, tweezers, phillips head screwdriver, bottle opener, flat screwdriver, awl, rope cutter (curved serrated knife), and a key for an oxygen tank. If you are using either of these tools when the pair of scissors is closed it might sometimes feel a little strange holding the ParaShears. Until you realize you can slide your index finger through one of the holes. That is when it will feel natural again. If, for instance, you use the cutting hook you will notice immediately how well it’s been designed.
Molle Compatible
All these tools and options can truly make a difference if you carry them with you (Where legal – details below). That is why SOG enhanced the ParaShears with a good sheath. MOLLE compatible and made from sturdy nylon. The great thing is that the tool fits inside both open and closed.
The Hard Truth
Sometimes we meet a product that is just too good to pass up. With that in mind, this is important. This tool includes a small, serrated and LOCKING blade. Because of this, you CANNOT carry this on your person without a justifiable reason. Good examples include but aren’t limited to;
– In a first aid kit while out camping
– As part of your job, such as for a paramedic or fire fighter
– Going out fishing
– At a shooting range or archery club (with permission)
We really wanted to avoid anything that isn’t freely carriable at EDC Warehouse, but these, these were just too good to pass up. Get yours today and use with caution – they’re sharp and extremely effective!
