Why You Need Trauma Shears | The Ultimate EDC and DIY Tool

Everyone knows you don't use your wife's sewing scissors to cut paper or tape, and you don't use the hair cutting scissors to open boxes. So what you need are some scissors you can grab for every job without worrying about them. Trauma shears are pretty inexpensive, and generally very tough. They work quite well at handling a variety of tasks around the house and shop, and can handle most scissor sized cutting tasks.

Obviously some tongue in cheek is intended here. Shears are not the best option for cutting branches, or dowels, or hair. They are intended for cutting through clothing, belts, shoes, boots, seatbelts, bandages, and whatever first-aid and trauma needs might arise. You should definitely include a pair in your first aid kits and EDC bags whenever possible. But they make some pretty cost effective utility or hobby scissors to keep around too.
