Trail-Shear full-size spring-action scissors beside a canvas camping daypack

Real scissors. Not an afterthought.

Most multitools treat scissors like a token extra. Trail-Shear™ makes them the reason to carry it: a full-size, spring-action pair with the reach and control for cord, zip ties, tape, packaging and everyday camp materials.

When the cutting job is finished, fold them back into the same compact tool that carries your pliers, knife, saw, file, drivers and openers.

Trail-Shear camping multitool uses including sawing filing opening cans and cutting wire

One tool for camp, car and quick fixes.

Trail-Shear™ is made for the small problems that interrupt a trip: a loose screw, an awkward zip tie, a rough edge, a stubborn package or a piece of cord that needs a clean cut.

Clip it to a pack, keep it in the glove box or add it to the camp kitchen. It gives you practical backup without asking you to carry a loose collection of single-purpose tools.

FAQs

Is Trail-Shear™ a small pocket multitool?

It is a full-size folding multitool built around useful scissors and pliers. The integrated clip works well on a belt, pack strap or gear pocket, while the tool is also well suited to a glove box, camp kitchen or repair kit. It is not positioned as an ultralight keychain tool.

What can the scissors cut?

The spring-action scissors are intended for cord, zip ties, tape, cardboard, food packaging, fabric webbing and similar everyday materials. Do not use them on hardened wire, sheet metal or medical tasks.

What can the wire cutter handle?

Use the cutter only on light, non-hardened wire. Use properly rated dedicated cutters for hardened, energized or structural wire.

Do the tools lock open?

The supported folding implements use a locking mechanism for more controlled use. Always confirm the selected function is fully seated before applying pressure and release the lock deliberately when closing it.

How do I open the full-size scissors?

Open the larger outer handle, pull the scissor handle out, rotate the assembly fully into position and bring the main handles together. Confirm everything is fully seated before cutting and keep fingers clear of the pivots.

How do I use the fire starter safely?

Use it outdoors only where open flames are legal and safe. Direct sparks toward prepared tinder and away from fuel, clothing, dry vegetation and other unintended ignition sources. Obey fire bans and extinguish every ember completely.

How should I care for it?

Wipe away dirt and moisture after use, allow the tool to dry fully and add a small amount of suitable tool lubricant to the pivots when movement becomes stiff. Never store it wet and keep all cutting edges away from children.

Is it a replacement for a full toolbox?

No. Trail-Shear™ is a portable backup for light, routine jobs. Use correctly sized professional tools for high torque, electrical, structural, rescue or other safety-critical work.

Customer video review of Trail-Shear™ 16-in-1 Camping Multitool

This thing feels solid. I like the locking mechanism to keep tools in place and I like the spring loaded pliers. The scissors are handy too.

Customer photo review of Trail-Shear™ 16-in-1 Camping Multitool

This is a great multi tool and provides good value for what you get. The construction feels sturdy and it has all the tools one would expect. I like the black color and the provided case works well. I keep a multi tool on me and work and one in each of my cars. This one is a great option to keep on hand.

I've used a Gerber Multi-tool for many years, even in the Army. Somehow managed to lose my last one that this is replacing... I really like the softer edges on this one.

Trail-Shear™ 16-in-1 Camping Multitool

Got this for my grandson who fishes and he loves it. Just enough tools that it has been very handy for him but not so many that it weighs a ton!

Trail-Shear™ 16-in-1 Camping Multitool

This should be in everybody’s EDC list! I like the size and weight of it and it’s very self explanatory to use. It is definitely worth the money and useful
