SUSPENSION-NXT

I own a few Leatherman multi's and Gerbers too. Each has their purpose. I like this one in particular as my EDC for when I need a little of everything but not heavily. When I need someone more like a heavy workhorse, then I grab my Leatherman supertool 300. Many will claim this Gerber Suspension NXT is not solid. It is. It is just not meant for torquing down on the pliers with a death grip like you can with a Leatherman. But it will certainly do its job for daily obstacles in life. The Scissors are awesome. The file is short but more affective than many comparable multitools in this pricepoint. The awl is more wide but still useful and strong. Blister packs are a breeze to open with this EDC. The pliers are great for standard use of assembly or disassembly of hardware. The Philips driver is very handy. The fact that everything locks is a huge plus. The ruler is short but still very useful if you are crafty in making it work for longer measurements. The can't complain about the weight. It's ideal for an EDC but the compromise in weight is why it is not as stout as a high end leatherman. It's nothing to due with quality but all to do with staying in a pricepoint for a more lighter everyday useful multitool. If this set let's you down, then you are a candidate for a heavy duty, more expensive, multitool. Oterhwise, the Suspension NXT is a clear winner in my pocket and respective wallet.

This tool is more than enough for me. I was absolutely not going to spend a ton of money on a Leatherman or other expensive tool when I knew full well I would never use it to its full capacity. It feels substantial, sturdy and well made. I chose this tool because it's not cheap or expensive, right in the middle in my opinion. It has pliers and that alone has saved me multiple times with crimping wire connectors, and removing splinters from my fingers. I'm not even a stereotypical rugged outdoors do everything kind of person, I live in the city and work in an office, but keeping this tool on me day to day has helped a lot so far.

All the tools are well made and easy to access. The size and weight are fine. As usual, the tools require a bit of breaking in. In terms of affordability to quality ratio, this tool is great. I recommend this product.

This is a solid EDC multi tool in most respects, certainly hard to compete with it for the price point. It replaced my Leatherman surge for a time, and did mostly just as well. I took a star off because of the obnoxious clip that is of terrible quality and will bend if you try to use it. After it bends, good luck on comfortably using the tool without a big annoyance. I should take off two stars, because there is no easy way to remove the low quality clip. I ended up breaking off the clip with my hands, which created a sharp break point. If you buy this tool, you want to make sure you have a power rotary tool in order to sand that down. After that, it may have gone back to being my EDC, but I gifted it to my wife and went with a Leatherman. It's a good multi tool for the price, but Gerber needs to remove that awful clip.

Bought for a gift. Appeared to be of good quality and easy to use.

I picked these up to make a bunch of 6x12in "handy travel stuff" canvas pouches for myself & friends. I always end up accidentally forgetting about my multitool or pocketknife or scissors when I go through airport security, or I forget to bring or end up losing pens or a scarf or my notebook, or I end up having to use a shoelace for a makeshift clothesline when paracord would have been just the thing, or I space out bringing a lighter or a flashlight -- you know, all that stuff that you bring and lose on the trip, or stuff you forget to bring but would have ended up coming in super-handy at one point or the other, or stuff that inconsistent airport security screening will let pass in one country but clamp down on in another for some unknown reason. If I'm not traveling around on vacation or business, it'd be handy stuff to just have in the car. So it turns out that I wanted some kind of inexpensive but reliable multi-tools to put in these pouches and I spent a day looking through the options. I'd recently had a Gerber multitool confiscated by airport security in Edinburgh, so I figured that I'd check out all the other brands for a replacement, including the AliExpress chinesium ones, but when I went through the list of tools and looked at the quality of steel and construction, I kept coming back to Gerber. The value proposition of this multi-tool is really good. You get enough tools to fit most common requirements, decent steel and a reasonable (pretty cheap, all considered) price. I bought four of them. They don't need to be especially rugged, though they are substantial, and they won't likely get more than a week's use if they do become necessary. It was just the thing for my little pouches and if one should get lost it won't break the bank to replace.

Extremely durable, compact comes with a clip. Not heavy strong and very light weight.

Got this to replace my lost Leatherman Skeletool and I like it so much better! No bits to lose, has scissors that actually work quite well, has a spring on the pliers, all of the tools lock in place so nothing will accidentally close while in use, it feels just as well made as the Leatherman imho, and I could go on. It doesn't have the built in "carabiner", but I never used it anyway so no big deal to me. Overall, I honestly don't see how you could go wrong on this one as its EVERYTHING the 'tool' is, PLUS has the added functionality of scissors, locks and costs less. It is a little bulkier but has more tools, so I think its worth it. Hope this helps!

Very sturdy and manageable, really like it
