Gear MP600 Pro Scout Multi-Plier - Multitool with 15 Tools, Including Needlenose Pliers - Premium Multipurpose Tool - 07563N

The dominant multi-tool on the market is likely the Leatherman Wave. The Gerber has two main advantages versus the Leatherman (and one weakness). The first advantage is that all the tools lock (not so for the Leatherman though the blade locks). A locking blade is clearly desirable, but a nice feature for other tools as well. The second advantage is the strength of the pliers. It's hard to see from the image, but the pliers retract into the handle versus the Wave where the handles unfold to expose the pliers. Having looked at both before buying the Gerber, I suspect (but am not sure) that the strength of the Gerber design is greater. While the Leatherman's pliers have a pivot for each arm (plus the center pivot), the Gerber only has the center pivot. This strength leads to the one weakness - that the pliers have to be opened to access any of the other tools (while with the Leatherman you can get at the blade without opening the whole tool). Both are fine tools, what sold me on the Gerber is how the pliers retract and the cool sound it makes when you deploy the pliers and they lock into place - a very solid, satisfying metal thunk. Hint: to make sure that you can deploy with one hand, rub a little candle wax into the plier channels in the handle. Also the scissors are made by Fiskar - a specialty scissor maker - nice and sharp. Besides, it's sometimes nice to have something slightly different from what everyone else has.

I live on a farm and am always in need of a pair of pliers, a screw driver, wire cutters etc. I have tried many other multi-tools in the past and had given up on finding one that was worth anything. One day a friend of mine, who drives a train, said that he did not know what he would do without his Gerber Multi-tool and that he even told his boss that it was his Gerber multi-tool that kept the train running and his boss in business. I was like, "Hey! Let me see that thing.". As soon as I felt it I could feel the quality and I decided to get one right away. I have had mine for about 3 months now, and I honestly don't think I could ever live without it now. While the other tools are useful, it is the pliers that are the real stand out here. No more running to the tool box to search for a pair of pliers for me. I would feel naked without my Gerber multi-tool now.

Tool is same quality as older version I broke after 15+ years use, A good tool.

The knife is great! I have owned one of these for a long time and the multi tool is fantastic. Pros: - Interchangeable blade is a great idea - Scissors are Fiskar and actually great quality - One-handed slide-style pliers are MUCH better than the fold-out type - Solid, quality feel - Wire cutters at back of pliers jaw are strong - Locking system works on all tools, not just knife blade Cons: - Takes a bit to loosen up - slide is tight at first - Carrying case is not too great - Screwdriver is not great for tight locations as the tool has to be closed to use Overall, a fantastic multi-tool. These come in a variety of sizes and with different tools, so you can really select what you like. One last thought - I bought eight of these and each one showed up greasy and almost used looking. Gerber QC could improve on the out of the package cleanliness.

Can you say C-H-I-N-A. I broke the jaws cutting wire with these CherBer pliars. It looked like the steel is grainy. just poor quality…I’m really disappointed in Gerber for putting their name on these. The fit and finish was good, but the metal was extremely brittle. These are not the same Gerber pliers from a decade ago. Sad sad…I have Leatherman and Sog in my truck. I got them out to compare. The other two brands are much more substantial in weight and the metal in those pliers is tough as nails. While the replaceable cutters and slide out pliers are great in function, what use are they if they are going to break doing what they are designed for. It does appear the spot of weakness is near the screw point for the cutter blade. Something is going on in that spot.

This multitool used to be much better. DO NOT TRUST THE PICTURES! This multitool is no longer made in the USA and they use a no-name saw blade. It's still a decent tool but not definitely not the same.

its the best of the best

These have always been a mechanic's fidget, but it also reminds me of the past. In the military, we would use these to disable the MILES gear or put it into god mode during training, at least until an OC would catch on. I purchased this style for the main purpose of ease of opening as it was designed to be done one handed.

Bought as a replacement for a Leatherman PST2 this ticks all the boxes for toughness and all round utility. It comes with a well made holder and was sharp straight from the box. The only issue I have with it is that like most other large multi tools it may fall foul of the UKs locking knife laws if carried in public places.
