Excellent Tool Nov 19, 2008
This was given to me by my wife last year for Christmas. Since I've had it not a single day has passed that I haven't used it. By far the most best gift that year.

Never know when you;re gonna need one Nov 04, 2008
I love this product! It's maid by a good company, sturdy yet stylish, and comes with a very handy two way sheath/holster.

Great gift... Oct 28, 2008
I bought the Gerber Suspension Multi-tool as groomsmen gifts, because I wanted to find something that was actaully practical for my groomsmen. No more cheesy flasks or beermugs that will never get used.

The Gerber is a great alternative to the more widely known multi-tools such as Leatherman.

I liked them so much I actaully bought myself one. The pliers have proven to be very strong, yet its not overly heavy feeling in my pocket. The lock out buttons for the tools are a little stiff but I imagine they will wear in over time. Access the tools in the center of the handle can be a little difficult, but not to the point that I don't use them.

I'd reccomend the Gerber too anyone who doesn't want to pay the higher price tag for the other brands.

Broken within two weeks. Oct 23, 2008
I was using the pliers to hold some wire while doing some fencing and one half of the plier's jaw broke completely off right at the hinge. Absolutely no excuse for this as I used to do the same task with my old Leatherman without any problem.

Also, it is very hard to get the various tools opened.

Weak, won't stand up to heavy use. Don't buy. Sep 24, 2008
This tool broke under use when I tried to use it as part of a home project. I was using the pliers to straighten out a bent piece of metal, something that I've done tons of times with regular pliers. I figured that I could use the Gerber tool the same way.

I was wrong. When I encountered a particular stubborn piece of metal, and it wouldn't give, I had to crank extra hard. Instead of the piece I was working on bending, the Gerber tool broke! One of the small metal retaining pieces that prevents the plier handles from collapsing bent under the pressure of my hand.

Folks, I'm not that strong. I wasn't applying some superhuman amount of strength to the tool. Nevertheless, it still broke under the strain of me gripping it extra hard. I don't recommend anybody getting this tool if you're going to use it for serious work, or going to depend on it for an emergency.
