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

Excellent quality.

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 bought this tool to carry around with me during my time in Afghanistan as a firefighter. I've used it for everything from cutting open boxes, to installing smoke detectors, to even just being the uy who always has a knife handy. I bought this specific model because I didn't have need for any of the other more specialized models, and find it does the job great for me. The knives are sharp out of the box, and with maintenance, I anticipate they will provide many more years of useful service. The one handed operation for deploying the plier arms is smooth and great, and the wire cutters also get the job done. The locking mechanism for the tools is solid, and I haven't had it fail once.My only gripe is that they are a bit stiff to open while using as pliers or just even to get at the tools. I've applied lubricant in an attempt to make the action smoother, but to no avail. I anticipate they will become easier as time goes on and the tool sees more use. I will update this review in a few months with an update.Overall a great multi tool that I am glad to have.

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...

I am the type of person that researches things immensely before committing to a purchase. I went back and forth on this one for about 6 months because of the negative reviews I had read. People saying the blade needed sharpening or that things felt loose and inadequate. I finally took the plunge and pulled the trigger, mostly based on what my military friends have told me about this tool. I have no regret of this purchase whatsoever. The tool is beautiful and yes when you first pull it out of the box it does have a slight residue on it. So what, big deal! Wipe it down and move on, the coating is to keep it in good condition for storage. Next, the blade was very sharp, sharper than any Multi-tool I have owned. The pliers at first do not shoot out with one handed operation because the tool is new and still a little stiff. After about 20 times it now comes out without a hitch and is very useful. Last the tool does seem a little loose but according to my military friends it is made this way on purpose. If you get sand or dirt in it you can still easily use the tool in rough situations, By closely examining the tool it does seem that the looseness is built in and does not take away from the sturdiness at all. Overall it would be tough to beat this tool and I can foresee years of use with it. Not to mention you cannot beat the warranty.

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