EMTs work shifts that swing between waiting and sudden action. Reliable, easy-to-grab gear matters on the rig, and so does comfort during the long idle stretches.

About our picks: EMTs go through scissors and stethoscopes quickly, since both get borrowed and lost on calls. A spare pair of utility scissors is a practical, low-cost gift.
