I looked at the Raptor and rejected it due to cost -- roughly 10x the price of your typical EMT shears. It would be nice to have shears with other tools, but I'd rather have shears and a separate multitool. The folding aspect of the Raptor is kinda cool, but it adds to the complexity. I keep a set of EMT shears in every kit, not going to happen with the LM Raptor.
