Gerber Splice Mini Multi-Tool, Black, Medium

Keyring size multitool with good scissors. Been on my keyring for a couple years now, look bashed up and knackered but are still in perfect working order.Scissors are still perfect and still have that snip sound if u know what I mean.Maybe a bit overpriced for the size but after having and using for years I think they are worth the price, for sure.Good product, has been useful countless times. And I'm always just blown away by these little scissors, just impressive.Having sung it's praises I should just say, they are very small, and the keyring is in the way when using the knife, has a bottle opener and screw driver and the rest, I use the scissors most. And the little scissors are BOSS.

I bought this as a slightly funny gift for my wife, she works away and after hearing her struggling to open a packet of crackers I thought that a small multitool may be of use/amusing. So when I saw this with the scissors rather than the more common pliers on it I had to order it. I do have a similar tool from Gerber that is almost identical with the pliers option, so I knew that they make good quality tools. My wife, thankfully, saw the joke and appreciated the gift, but has been using it both at home and when she is away often with the cry of "if only I had a small handy pair of scissors."They are small, very compact and easy to hide in a corner of her travel bag, but they do the job very well, and have been very much appreciated despite being a slightly daft gift. I can only recommend these if you want something handy to open packets/packaging rather than pliers. The rest of the tools is good as well, the short blades are sturdy and sharp, the screwdrivers are good enough, as is the bottle opener and other attachments.

Has a good selection of tools and feels very sturdy, however if extremely stiff to open any tools out of the box and has not loosened up with use

Brilliant bit of kit. Just remember to take it off your keyring at the airport. This is my 3rd one

Okay.Got this because I wanted a mini multitool and have had Gerber plier tools for about 30 years.Would not be without an mp600.The splice is Not indicative of the higher end Gerber multitools.The picture shows what happened the very first time I tried to use the larger of the two screwdrivers.I carry other and better screwdrivers, so this in not a major issue. It should still open bottles.Plus I'd already decided to modify it anyway, so any warranty was going to be invalid fairly shortly.So the pros:Very small,Decent tool selectionThe scissors work well and are very sharp.The cons:Build quality is awful.It's the most uncomfortable to hold and use multitool I've ever used.You have scissors, and a really sharp straight blade, so why add a serrated blade, when an actual saw blade would have made a lot more sense.So I'm going to get my rotary tool and grind down the edges of the protruding nuts (4 each side) and smooth out the edges of the frame.To make it much more comfortable to hold.Then I'm going to get my micro diamond files and turn the serrated blade into an actual mini saw blade.Final verdict.Not worth the price, but potentially useful if you don't intend to use the screwdrivers :-)Or hold it for long term usage.It's a £5 tool with a designer label price tag.

I already owned the pliers version which I've had for about 2 years and it's brilliant. I bikepack, basically camping using a bicycle, so due to the extra weight things tend to break on the bike. I have a Crank Brother multi tool for most things but sometimes a small pair of pliers are useful. So I bought the scissors version and I am equally impressed. The build quality is very good but it's the size that really impressed, it's small and compact which is perfect for limited space and weight bikepacking. There's a big market out there but they are heavy and bulky, great for a bit of home DIY but no good on a bike ride. I am very happy with this purchase. Size wise when folded up is about the same size and weight is similar to a Zippo lighter.

I bought this to replace my Leatherman Micra. They don't really compare. The little Gerber has excellent blades and scissors but the screwdrivers are weak and mine broke whilst opening a tin of paint. It would have been the same if I was trying to screw something. So I bought another Leatherman and I'm happy again.But you know what? The Gerber was £20. The Leatherman £50. Of course its going to be better.Good luck out there people. Be kind, be calm and don't take it all too seriously.

The tool looks great, but despite my best efforts I have badly pinched myself on nearly every occasion I have used the fold out scissors, drawing blood or badly bruising my thumb.I have the Gerber Vise and this has idential issues.These are not safe and should be redesigned
