GERBERGear Multi-Plier 600 - 14-in-1 Multitool with Sheath, Needlenose Pliers, Screwdriver, Serrated Knife, Wire Crimper, Bottle Opener, Can Opener & More - Black with Sheath

it's basically the same as the MP400, but with two knives, and it's slightly bigger and heavier. i think i prefer the 400 for EDC b/c it's lighter and scissors/single knife is a more versatile combination for me (cyclist/schoolteacher).Below are my thoughts (from the 400 review) about why cheap-but-quality multiools are the way to go:this tool is right on that price point between reasonably decent quality and cheap junk...but it's perfect!why? well, multitools, you carry them around. you use them a lot. and you almost never use the screwdriver as a screwdriver, yeah? it's always a pry bar or a chisel or a skeleton key for an old door...and eventually you'll bend, break, chip or otherwise ruin it. so why spend $100+ on a super-nice multitool and bend the driver the first time you use it (yep...i've done that!) get a cheap but quality tool that you can REPLACE when you inevitably break it!that said, my last gerber lasted about 4 years (before i lost it) as opposed to my $100 leatherman, which i broke a tool on immediately (not a commentary on their relative quality, which i'm not qualified to judge, just to say this kind of $*** happens with multitools)and, it comes with a SHEATH! a bargain at $40~

Ive used these for about 6 years now and had zero issues. They’re very well built. The crimper is excellent. My only complaint is I don’t wear a belt and I would love to see this with a pocket clip. They’re light weight and the perfect size.

the item is really great, works perfectly! precise seller and detailed description! highly recommended!

I have several of these for EDC, in my toolbox and at work

The media could not be loaded. UPDATE: upgraded rating from 3 to 4 stars. It’s growing on me, plus the one handed wrist-flick seems to be working much better now. Just needed to break it in a little. Plus I was walking the dog around the property and it came in very handy when I noticed a couple saplings growing into the fence. The saw blade made quick work of them. So, maybe I’ll eventually get to 5 stars with it, we will see.First thing I noticed when I got it was that "USA" is not stamped anywhere on the tool. The Amazon photos in the product listing show a slightly different tool, one with the "USA" stamping. That kind of turned me off. Yes, the packaging says that it's 'assembled' in the USA, but from foreign parts which is disappointing. Maybe not a big deal to some, but I like to see the "USA" stamping on the stuff I buy, if that's what I'm expecting when I order it. So now it feeling like false advertising on their part and I have some cheap knockoff.I guess I knew what the number/variation of tools was when I ordered it. It's not a huge variety, mostly screwdriver tips and a nail file(?), plus the serrated blade and the regular knife blade, which isn't all that impressive. Oh, and the bottle/can openers. Yippee.The one-hand release for the pliers is a little stiff, so it'll either take some practice or some breaking in to make easier to open with one hand.I guess overall, it's OK. Not great, not horrible. Main gripe is the lack of "USA" stamping. Really, that was what I was buying it for over some other similarly priced multi-tools. I'll still keep it and use it, but I'm going to keep shopping around until I get exactly what I want.

To say I've used a lot of multi-tools over the years is a vast understatement. I'm a IBEW Wireman, also a mechanic with 25+ years experience, my late father called me "the master of the mechanical stuff".It doesn't matter if it's an auto electrical repair fix for a stranger in the parking lot of a Home Depot, fixing work electrical circuitry at a family get together, or just random mechanical or electrical repairs during my every day travels I NEED a multi tool on me at all times.The Gerber MP600 is the one I keep going back to, it's not perfect, but it is a perfect balance of tools, weight, cost, availability. Other tools will perform SOME tasks better than the MP600 but my 20+ year experience with around 50 different multi-tools can attest that there is nothing on the market that can perform as well in ALL manner of repairs the same way that the MP600 does.You won't regret the purchase, just buy one.If you're on the fence about which one to buy just get the BASIC one, most of the specialty craft ones are just replacing useful tools with something that you already have in your bag that's dedicated for whatever specialty craft you're going to do (like going out shooting, fishing, etc.). You're going to end up with a useless flip out tool for 99% of the time you're carrying the thing. Just go with the BASIC because it's the best of all worlds. If you need a carbon scraper for when you're out shooting then buy a real one and throw it in your range bag.And for the love of <insert diety of choice> don't buy the EOD version unless you are actually punching holes in C4 and crimping detonators...
