Best Multi-tool ever,
I am in the military and the multi-tool is the most important non issue item that you carry on you from day to day because you always need to fix things as they become broken and things come up. You can’t always carry around a tool kit with you, and this is just an amazing, functional one that has everything that you need and easy to get to and use. The grip is awsome. I have had lots of different multi tools in the past. leatherman’s are horrible, actually had the pliers break off in mission once. Most Gerber’s tend to rust and it makes the sliding function difficult. SOG has been my go to but big and bulky and really expensive, so when it got lost (pretty sure stolen) I replaced with this after being really happy with a bear knife I had purchased and I think this is probably teh best of his line. A must have.

|A comparison with the SOG PowerLock,
The only other multi-tool I’ve owned is an SOG Specialty Knives & Tools S61-N EOD PowerLock. While I like my PowerLock, I wanted something that was lighter, smaller, and more convenient, and this fits the bill. It’s only about an ounce lighter than the SOG, but it’s nearly an inch shorter, which makes it easier to carry around. More importantly, having all the tools accessible on the outside is much more convenient than the PowerLock. Both have a locking mechanism, which I consider a necessity, but this is one area where the Gerber comes short. Unlike the PowerLock’s gentle but effective lever and flat spring, the Gerber has a sliding lock with a compression coil spring. It’s stiff and can rub your fingers raw with overuse, and I worry about how well it will hold up with age. While the Gerber doesn’t have the range of tools of the PowerLock, it does have the most important ones. The flat Phillips head screwdriver doesn’t look impressive, but it’s worked when I needed it. I haven’t tried the combined can opener/bottle opener yet, which is the other one I think looks iffy.
Others have pointed out that this is identical to the Gerber Suspension Butterfly. There’s at least one difference, in that it has a rubberized grip rather than the open one of the other Gerber tool, which I consider an improvement. It may also have better weatherization, as other reviewers have noticed that it seems less prone to rusting than other Gerber tools, but that’s anecdotal, so I can’t be sure of this. In any case, the price was lower when I bought it, so the cost differential was considerably less. It’s a good tool, overall, and I’ve found it worth the price.

|AMAZING FOR A SAILOR,
Im in the Navy and work on a lot of computer equipment, I have gone through MANY gerbers before buying this one and so far its my favorite. It hasnt rusted like my others and it isnt stiff or to lose. The grip is great. I have found my self actually moving more and more away from my knife and more into using this gerber. The blade is sharp and hasnt dulled on me yet. I highly recommend this as it is durable and i used it every day of deployment and its still in a new condition.
Thanks Bear for this AWESOME product!
