Gerber Gear MP600 Pro Scout Multi-Plier - Multitool with 13 Tools, Including Needlenose Pliers - Premium Multipurpose Tool - Made in USA

I bought the original design of this tool decades ago when it first came out. Great tool, with one flaw back then. It did not hold up well cutting steel wire. Well that was 30+ years ago. I bought a new one, and was just suprised and delighted to see Gerber made a great classic BETTER. Carbide cutting inserts, for cutting steel wire ! ( like fencing wire, coat hangars etc ) On top of that, the carbide inserts are 3 sided, so if worn, just loosed with included tool, and rotate the insert to a fresh blade.I am a retired Master Mechanic, now in Landscaping. I have wanted another blunt pliar Gerber for 20-something years, and voila ! Gerber EXCEEDED expectations !I seldom rave in Reviews unless excellence is found. Here you go !If you need a handy belt multi tool, buy the BEST, get a Gerber !Buy This Tool ! Great tool, built to give service for a lifetime. ( Ladies: buy your man this ! )

I use it all the time at work, and it gets pretty well abused but it holds up. Best tool on my belt. Great quality and versatility

We have a few in different places. Tool bag, car, garage, shed. Nice tool to have when needed.

If your looking for a good Multi-tool, this Gerber is probably the best one to go with. It's not overly expensive, when you put the pliers down it locks and you don't have to worry about accidently opening it. The pliers easily slide open after pressing the buttons and the slides up. The tools are strong steel and works as it should for whatever you need it for.

i find the MP600 very functional. i can see many uses in my life for this. i esp love the price, i got it for $40! nothing else on the market can beat that price. looking at the MP600 i now understand why this is used by the military. it's cheap, will get the job done, and it wont bankrupt the military. another reason why i like this price is b/c i can easily replace it if i break it or lose it. i have another multi tool that i bought around $100, and i am reluctant to use it b/c i don't want to risk losing it or damaging it b/c it's so expensive. it's like driving your Corvette on the mud, why would anyone do that?! but with the MP600, i am more comfortable to use it b/c it's only $40 and if anything happens to it i can always buy another one which i can do b/c it's affordable.the MP600 looks like a multi tool that people in the police or the military would use. other multi tools doesn't have that "military look" to them like the MP600 does. this is also a blade less multi tool which i was looking for. i have never been a fan of knives in multi tools b/c they aren't as good as my pocket knife. i always carry a good quality pocket knife w/me anyways so i don't need or even want to have knives in my multi tools.some people complain about the wire cutters, but i don't understand why. the wire cutters on the MP600 is removable, so if you don't like it you can buy a better wire cutter from Gerber. i know they have steel wire cutters that you can buy which is much better than the ones that comes standard on the MP600. i don't use the wire cutters that much anyways so this doesn't bother me.another complaint that people have about the MP600 is the lubrication. the MP600 comes heavily lubricated and i don't know why this is a surprise to most people. if you are an experienced gun owner, or even a knife owner, you will know that they come heavily lubricated. this is to protect the guns and knives from dirt and long term storage. when i bought my shotgun, it was covered in lubrication. i have to clean it and i even had to remove the trigger assembly and clean the lubrication off of that as well. some thing w/some of my knives it comes lubricated. just clean it off. for the MP600, i used Remington oil wipes to clean it. i use these oil wipes to clean my guns and knives but you can also use them to clean multi tools as well.i just have one problem w/the MP600. some of the screwdrivers are very difficult to pull out. it feels like they are stuck too tightly togther. i had to struggle getting them out for use. so instead of complaining online, i took out my Remington Rem Oil and gave the MP600 a few drops to loosen up the screwdrivers. now they swing open w/ease.remember, you must clean the MP600 before you use it. you can get Remington oil wipes and the Rem Oil from walmart in the gun section or your local gun stores. they sell them.another thing i hate about the MP600 is the sheath. gosh it looks ugly. i already bought a better 3rd party sheath so it's no big deal. i can't wait to get it so i can start carrying this MP600.i recommend the MP600 if you are looking for a affordable good bang for your buck blade less MADE IN USE multi tool.

I've been using a. Gerber multi-tool for over 20 years and this is the third one I've had to get. I use it most days. They hold up very well, even to abuse, and I prefer the quick accessibility that is not found in other multi-tools. Suck on it Leatherman.

Bought this multi tool 12 years ago. It was recently confiscated by an overzealous train staff. So, I bought again. It has served me well over the years.

Don't even mess around with other brands or knock offs, you want a GERBER multitool. It's built tough, can take the abuse, is easier to work with than those other fold-around multitools, and there's plenty of different varieties in tool/plier options so that you can find one that suits you. It's part of my EDC (every day carry), and while I might not need it every day, when i need it, it WORKS. My only bit of advice to owners is that you keep clean and lubricate the fold out tools. I had a multitool that had been thru some things, and thought that the fold out tools were irrepairably stuck -- I gave it to a buddy who likes to fix stuff --turns out, they needed a good soak in diesel and lots of working back and forth to bring it back to life. Now he has a fully working Gerber and I got my new one, and a lesson learned.
