Nextorch has just released what looks like a Raptor crossed with a Wave. I appreciate the original design and I am very impressed. Not a whole lot of tools and kind of a specific target group, but still, this is truly a nice looking tool. I might get one if I find one.

Yeah, this tool was just shown to me on Facebook. the only place I could find it was on AliExpress at the moment. I ordered one, Was a tad expensive costing me 155 Canadian for it though.

I saw it on Amazon.com.au for $149 AUD, shipped from Nextorch.au but it takes a long time, so it does not in fact come from Australia. I'm thinking about it. :think:
It's definitely an intriguing design.
I am surprised that it does not have a glass-breaker anywhere. :think:

It has a plastic handcuff cutter so it should be a hit with the BDSM crowd!  :rofl:

It is different enough that I had to get it once I was made aware of it.

Same here, and it actually looks like a good tool, unlike the Nextool Flagship mini, which is basically from the same company but not at all good.

Nextool and Nextorch are the same company? I had been wondering about that.

Nextorch has lights with 1-day shipping so I asked them about the multi-tool and they just told me it'll be available with 1-day shipping in 10 days or so. :cheers:
I'm definitely getting one if it is available with 1-day shipping. :D

I received mine today. The blade and saw thumb holes are too polished. I cannot opener those with just my thumb. :-\

We need a review of how well that cutter works under realistic conditions. :D (Based on cutting zip ties I wonder if sturdy scissors would work better).

Doesn't such cuffs come with a tool for removal? I guess this is then for all those times you get plastic handcuffed yourself? So someone plastic handcuffs you but lets you keep a tool including knife, scissors and a plastic handcuff cutter within reach? Or maybe this is for EMTs doing their thing for people who have been plastic handcuffed?

Ha!  One never knows. I can say that the cutters work on zip ties like a hot knife through butter. The shears will cut through a lot of things beyond zip ties though. They will cut through finger sized branches. I know as I have already tested them on some miscreant wayward branches that decided to crowd my front entrance to my house.

Interesting. :cheers: Might have to get one as good working scissor designs are surprisingly rare. (And rather difficult to get right).

hmmmmmmmm...

I kinda want one. 
I don't plan to do any rescuing.  But it looks like the scissors/shears are better than those chinese tools with the plier head and scissors.

I sent mine back. The bad thumb hole really irritated me. Also on the one ingot at least, the shears didn't cut all that well. And for that much money, they should. So, yeah.
Not impressed with their customer service. Every time they took 2-3 days to reply. In the end I sorted it out with Amazon.
