Leatherman Raptor

The Leatherman Raptor is a tool we've talked about before, but due to it's popularity it's always worth being talked about again!

The Raptor is basically a tool that first reads as just medical shears, but really is packed full of all the necessary tools needed for uniformed professionals to safely and quickly go to work in an emergency situation. This tool was developed with special input from special ops medics, EMT's and fire professionals making sure to cover all the bases of what is needed when you're on the scene and have one tool to do the job.

The Raptor is known to have just the right balance of multipurpose features for medical-special ops without an overkill to complicate a life-altering situation.

The tools included in the Raptor are 420HC Stainless Steal Folding Medical Shears, a strap cutter, a ring cutter, a 5cm Ruler, an Oxygen Tank Wrench, and a carbide Glass Breaker.

The hard stainless steel design keep this tool powerful, strong and ready for any situation, and pocket
clip (which is replaceable) keeps it ready and handy at all times. It comes with a MOLLE Compatible Injection-molded Polymer Holster that's great and makes it easy to keep this tool handy when you need it.

With a 25 year warranty, you just cannot go wrong with the popular Raptor. Let's see what others are saying about it:

"Great item to carry daily on my belt. Worth the price for all the options this tool gives in one small package. Strong, durable construction. From cutting clothing to simply removing patient identification bands upon discharge, this tool can do it all."

"I work as a flight nurse and a Trauma Program Manager at a Level II Trauma Center. I got these as a gift and they seriously kick butt. They'll cut through a bikers leathers in a flash. The only con I would have is that they would not have had to make them collapsable. They occupy the space my old trauma shears did in my flight suit and I see no need to ever need to fold them up."

One feature we particularly love on Nightfighter X is the strobe mode, which emits light at momentary, variable intensities and can be used to disorient and/or gain advantage over a potentially dangerous subject. It's easily turned on by a multi-function, push-button tactical tailswitch that enables you to activate and use strobe mode one handedly. 

The Nightfighter X is shock and water resistant, meaning it's protected by the elements and also any damage it might get during any intense situation. Needing your light to stay in top notch shape and dependable when on the scene is KEY. You will have that with your Streamlight Nightfighter X, no double.

During a critical situation, the Nightfighter X is capable of emitting powerful and very bright beams of light that can cut through the darkness and will be able to defend you in a critical situation.

Don't get Wet! Get the Typhoon Rain Jacket


As EMT's we have to be prepared for all scenarios--but that doesn't mean we want to get wet if we don't need to be. This is where the Gerber Outerwear Typhoon ANSI 107 Class 3, 32" Rain Jacket comes into play.

A waterproof, breathable, windproof jacket is exactly what the Typhoon provides, with a Taslan Outer Shell, giving you tons of high-visibility. The hip length design provides great protection but still gives you full mobility. The double storm flap in the front keeps splash-up water from getting through to you and your clothes and it boasts a reversible zipper closure. The side-access equipment zipper helps keep tools dry and ready for use. The drop-in concealable hood gives you the option to fully protect up-top as do the adjustable cuffs.

This jacket is stocked with mic tabs, badge tabs and hand pockets all around--it's truly a versatile rain jacket that does the job!

The Typhoon boasts the 3M Scotchlite Reflective Material, which is recognized as the leading high performance retro-reflective component for worker visibility. When wearing Scotchlite you can have peace of mind, because YOU CAN BE SEEN! Your Scotchlite garment increases visibility in low light and nighttime conditions, and it's trusted for quality and protection on the scene.

This rain jacket meets ANSI 107:2010, which is divided in three separate class garments: Class I, Class II, and Class III. The higher the class, the more flourescent and retro-reflective materials are required in the garment construction. The Typhoon Rain Jacket is Class 3--so you can rest assured that you will be seen on the scene at speeds of 50mph and higher.

The Gerber Typhoon 32" Rain Jacket is available in size XS through 4XL, so there's a jacket to keep everyone dry this rainy season. Get yours, today!
