I use hemostats for other-than-intended purposes. Such as, tweezers, clamp onto a ripped toenail to have a handle, latch onto a tiny little tick, so on. Your training obviously far exceeds my own, so I respect your views.
P.s. They are awesome in a fishing vest also.
I apologize if my initial reply unintentionally sounded harsh. You are entirely correct that hemostats have dozens of useful applications, and are mighty handy tools for lots of things related to first aid, just not hemostasis. ;-)
In fact, I'll add one to my kit. Thank you for the good suggestion.
