The Leatherman Raptor isn't an average multi-tool. It may be equipped to perform various tasks, but it was developed specifically with uniformed medics in mind. Unlike the classic Swiss Army Knife, which can be used by an average citizen with one hand, the Leatherman Raptor boasts specialized features that pertain to life-saving situations in times of war.
Shaped like a pair of scissors, the Leatherman Raptor lays claim to 420HC stainless steel shears, a strap cutter, a carbide glass breaker, a ring cutter, a ruler and an oxygen tank wrench. These are not the typical tools needed for everyday survival. Available in May 2013, the Leatherman Raptor will ensure that uniformed medics are always prepared when needed.
