PRODUCT INFORMATION

SOG · Trauma Multi-Tool

SOG Parashears

A folding 11-tool responder multi-tool built around trauma shears: 3Cr13 stainless blades on SOG's multi-pivot Compound Leverage mechanism, glass-reinforced nylon handles, 4.8 oz, 7.30 in. open and 5.13 in. folded, with a nylon belt sheath. Built from materials SOG specifies as autoclave-compatible. Black and Red.

11 tools · 4.8 oz7.30 in. open · 5.13 in. folded3Cr13 stainless · GRN handlesNylon sheath included

The argument for this over a pair of $6 shears is not the blade. It is that the O2 wrench and the glass breaker are already in your hand when you need them, and that the whole thing can go through a sterilizer afterwards.

What's Included

Same tool, two finishes and two part numbers. Pick the handle colour you are buying — the contents are otherwise identical.

VIEW ▾Black — SOG-23-125-01-43 · black oxide hardcased

1× SOG Parashears multi-tool, black — black oxide hardcased finish on blade and frame, GRN handles, 11 tools: Shears (Compound Leverage) · line/strap cutter · glass breaker · O2 wrench · tweezers · rope/cord cutter · medium flathead awl · #1 Phillips screwdriver · bottle opener · inch ruler · centimetre/millimetre ruler
1× Nylon sheath — belt loop plus MOLLE-compatible webbing on the back panel; sized to carry the tool either folded or with the shears deployed
That is the package. No spare blade, no sharpener, no lubricant, no lanyard and no printed manual beyond SOG's own packaging insert.
Black oxide is the low-visibility option. It is the harder colour to find on a dark floor or in a cluttered bag — a genuine consideration if the tool lives loose in a jump kit rather than sheathed.

VIEW ▾Red — SOG-23-125-02-43 · red GRN, polished finish

1× SOG Parashears multi-tool, red — red GRN handles with a polished finish, 11 tools: Shears (Compound Leverage) · line/strap cutter · glass breaker · O2 wrench · tweezers · rope/cord cutter · medium flathead awl · #1 Phillips screwdriver · bottle opener · inch ruler · centimetre/millimetre ruler
1× Nylon sheath — belt loop plus MOLLE-compatible webbing on the back panel; sized to carry the tool either folded or with the shears deployed
That is the package. No spare blade, no sharpener, no lubricant, no lanyard and no printed manual beyond SOG's own packaging insert.
Functionally identical to the black. The red is bought for findability — on a trauma bay floor, in a dark bag or at a scene where it has been set down and needs picking back up.

Dimensions, weight, tool count, materials, finishes, part numbers and the autoclave-compatibility statement are as published by SOG in the manufacturer data reproduced on the previous version of this listing. The "approximately twice the cutting power" figure is SOG's own comparative claim and is printed as such — it is not an independently measured value, and the source copy describes the Compound Leverage mechanism as "proprietary" in one place and "patented" in another, so treat the intellectual-property wording as unverified. One thing has been deliberately removed: the previous page printed a specific sterilisation cycle (a temperature, a dwell time and a pressure) that was not attributed to SOG. Reprocessing parameters are a patient-safety matter and belong to your facility's validated instrument-reprocessing procedure and the manufacturer's own written instructions, not to a retail description — so the parameters are gone and the material claim stays. Warranty terms are not published here either. This page describes a cutting and utility tool; it carries no clinical procedure and no guidance on when or how to expose a patient.

▾Who Carries It

EMTs and paramedics who need shears, an oxygen wrench and a glass breaker on the same call and would rather carry one item than three · Tactical, military and SWAT medics working to a weight and cube budget where every item has to justify its place · Law enforcement patrol officers arriving first at collisions and assaults, where the strap cutter and glass breaker do the work before EMS is on scene · Fire and rescue crews wanting one pocketable tool that covers extrication and patient access · IFAK and jump-bag builders, and overlanders and prepared civilians who want the same breadth outside a professional context.

Two honest caveats. This is a folding tool: it is more mechanism than a fixed pair of shears, and mechanisms are the thing that fails when they are ignored — clean and dry it after fluid exposure rather than sheathing it wet. And it is a primary carry tool, not a disposable one; if your service treats shears as single-patient consumables, a $6 pair still has a job and this does not replace it. Reprocessing between patients follows your facility's validated procedure and SOG's written instructions. This is a tool for reaching a patient and their injuries; it makes no clinical decision for you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What 11 tools are included in the SOG Parashears?

The SOG Parashears includes: shears (primary trauma cutting blades), seat belt/strap cutter, glass breaker, oxygen wrench (tank key), tweezers, ruler, flat-head screwdriver, bottle opener, hook/pick, crimper/wire cutter, and file. These 11 tools were specifically selected in collaboration with first responders and medical providers to cover the tasks most commonly needed in EMS, fire, and tactical medicine operations.

Why does the SOG Parashears include an oxygen wrench?

Oxygen tank wrenches are required to open many compressed oxygen cylinders used in pre-hospital and clinical care. Without a wrench, providers cannot access tank-mounted oxygen systems with sealed valve stems. Including the oxygen wrench in the Parashears means the provider carries one compact multi-tool that eliminates the need for a separate oxygen key — a common omission that delays oxygen delivery in the field.

Is the SOG Parashears autoclave compatible?

Yes. The SOG Parashears is made with autoclave-compatible materials — GRN (Glass Reinforced Nylon) handles and 3Cr13 stainless steel components. This allows the tool to be steam sterilized in an autoclave for use in clinical, surgical, or field medical environments where instrument sterility matters. This is a significant advantage over multi-tools with non-autoclavable handle materials.

What is the difference between the Black and Red SOG Parashears?

The Black (SOG-23-125-01-43) and Red (SOG-23-125-02-43) Parashears are identical in all specifications — same 11 tools, same 3Cr13 steel, same GRN handles, same 4.8 oz weight. The only difference is handle color. Red handles provide immediate visual identification of the tool in a kit, on a vest, or in a vehicle — useful when fast location under stress matters. Black provides a lower-profile appearance for tactical carry.

How does the SOG Parashears compare to standard EMT shears for a tactical medic?

Standard 7.5" EMT shears are lighter (2 oz vs. 4.8 oz) and less expensive, but provide only cutting capability. The SOG Parashears offers 10 additional mission-specific tools in exchange for 2.8 oz of additional weight. For tactical medics, paramedics, and EMS providers who routinely encounter vehicle extrication, oxygen tank access, and entrapment scenarios alongside standard trauma care, the Parashears provides significant consolidated capability. Many providers carry both — Parashears as the primary multi-tool and standard shears as a backup.
