Gerber1014030 Multitool - Black, Medium

As an Electrician approaching retirement it's safe to say that over the last 47 years of working in the trade I can easily be described as being a toolaholic. I was always taught to have the right tool for the job and from day one of my apprenticeship I valued quality above all else. As they say, buy cheap, buy twice. I have purchased a good number of multi tools over the years, most of which have rarely if ever been used. And as retirement is looming my need to buy more tools is slowly diminishing but I couldn't resist buying this Grerber multi tool. It's small but looks to be excellent quality and can easily fit onto a keyring or in your pocket. You won't be pruning bushes with it or striping domestic sized cables but it is perfect for numerous little jobs and is extremely handy. I bought a small LED lenser torch at the same time, it's almost the same size as the Gerber and I keep both of them in my camera backpack. Highly recommend for small tasks and toolaholics.

It is tiny and I had a giggle getting it but it's a handy little tool and holds it's self well! It's only 4 stars because it says 25 year warranty outside North America and the pin that springs the scissors open snapped making the scissors difficult (not impossible) to use and Amazon won't exchange because they are 30 days and Gerber won't fix because it's from Amazon!

I bought this to keep in my pocket for little jobs around the boat. It has been useful withdrawing split pins or fixing bent components. It is a handy size, but the tools are difficult to pull out and the pliers don't quite meet at the tip, meaning they are of limited use.It is "better than nothing" and has no signs of corrosion but I will be looking for a better quality tool.

The Gerber 1014030 Multitool is a compact, versatile tool designed for everyday use. Its black oxide finish adds durability and a sleek appearance. It features a range of tools, including pliers, wire cutters, a knife, screwdrivers, and more, making it suitable for a variety of tasks. The build quality is solid, with a comfortable grip and a smooth mechanism for deploying tools. However, the tools can be stiff to open initially, and the lack of a locking mechanism on some tools may be a concern for safety. Overall, it’s a reliable and functional tool for light-duty tasks.

Very sharp, scissors are tiny and not much use unless you need to cut a thread or something, but I carry it all the time, so useful to have a set of pliers and a blade to open boxes or pull out staples etc.

I’m really impressed with this little power house product, especially how it includes tweezers as well, which come in very handy at times

I've had mine 8 years now and it's still on my keys looking battered but still in great working condition.The dime is tiny and as long as you realise you won't be doing anything heavy with it you'll find it useful.The pliers have come in handy and especially good for splinters!The blade is very think but again realise the limitations of a keyring tool and it's up to small tasks.The package opening tool is great and the bottle opener is great and sturdy.The scissors are the worst part of this cool little tool but I have to give it 5 stars as it's survived 8 years so far and works as well as the day I got it.So small you'll forget about it on your keys and super handy.Great product and if I lost mine I wouldn't hesitate to buy a replacement.

So I ordered this Gerber multitool which after a wait it finally came but the packaging was empty, so I called Amazon to report this straight away to which I was told they will issue a return on the item and order another one, quite annoying but I did as I was told obviously there wasnt anything to return so I just waited for the their second attempt which did arrive, it is disappointing as this thing is tiny and nor really fit for the purpose but at least I got one, then to my surprise a month down the line Amazon charge me again fir the same item even though I never got the first one so really I have been ripped off for inadequate packaging and made it to be my fault.Multitool itself isnt worth the money go for something different if you want something more robust especially for the price these are.
