EMT/paramedic shears

[cardimon]

Does anyone know a decent place online where I can pick up large and small pairs of EMT/paramedic shears, the kind that cuts through anything but has blunt tips? I'd like to get nylon sheaths for them as well, to protect the shears inside my kit.

I've found regular EMT shears and the marine version, called Sea Snips. Any recommendations as to which I should aim for?

I've never bought anything online, but

http://www.familydefense.com/paramedicshears.htm

has a sale on and

http://www.chiefsupply.com/shears_nholsters.phtml

sells a nylon holster.

I think that the shears you found before might be better though. Chef Supply's so called multifunction shears would probably put a hole in the patient by substituting the safe point for a screwdriver (?!?!)

Perhaps contact Robert H for some sheaths. He's a kydex wizard and lives at www.survivalsheath.com
