I don't wear them on my belt with my uniform like some people, but I do keep a pair in my turnout pants. We also have them in the top tray of every trauma box and there's usually a couple pairs on the bench seat in the ambulances.

Most uniform shops around here carry them. I've even seen them in hardware stores from time to time. As far as online, you can get them from most any EMS or fire supply place (Galls, Moore, FireStore, etc.)

I appreciate the response. Please allow me to clarify that I own quite a faw trauma shears. I was interested in learning more about this particular model, recognizable by the extra wide, red handle.

Ahhh, sorry for misunderstanding. I've never seen that particular type, and I didn't even notice they were different until you pointed that out.

I dont pretend not to be a whacker. I like to have the stuff nobody else has and Im a firm believer in the motto: "You get what you pay for." However, I feel that if Im gonna have the good stuff, I had better be worth my salt. :)

Anyway, anyone who reads this, if you know who makes these, please enlighten me. The picture is a scan from a conterra catalogue. However, they claim that the shears they sell are the same and they most certainly are not... although I think their shears are some of the best in the business.
