Leatherman Tool Group. Raptor Rescue Black
The Leatherman Raptor Rescue in black is a purpose-built emergency medical tool designed for first responders, EMTs, firefighters, and other uniformed professionals who need to act fast when lives depend on it. Developed in collaboration with special operations medics and field medical personnel, the Raptor strips away unnecessary features and focuses on the tools that matter most in high-stress rescue and medical scenarios. This isn't a general-purpose multi-tool—it's engineered specifically for the hands-on demands of emergency medicine and tactical casualty care.
Built from 420HC stainless steel, the folding medical shears feature serrated edges to grip materials firmly and deliver a strong, controlled cut through clothing, bandages, and other materials. The shears disassemble for thorough cleaning and maintenance—critical for any tool used in a medical setting. A reversible V-notch strap cutter (440 stainless) handles seatbelts, webbing, and canvas with equal confidence. The specialized ring cutter lets you safely remove rings made of soft metals like gold in emergency situations where standard removal methods aren't an option. A 5 cm ruler provides quick measurement reference, while the oxygen tank wrench lets you interface with standard O₂ bottles. A carbide glass breaker rounds out the kit for situations where you need to access a patient quickly.
The Raptor Rescue's design philosophy reflects real-world input from the professionals who use tools like this under pressure. Nothing fancy, nothing surplus—just the right blend of capability without the clutter. Whether you're equipping a first aid kit for your vehicle, outfitting a tactical bag, or stocking a rescue pack, the Raptor delivers functional, reliable performance when it counts.
