Gerber Compact Sport Tool 18

Great! Better than my Leatherman Surge for many jobs. I carry mine for work and give it abuse 5 days a week. It has served me well for 4 years. Most other multi-tools are too big to get in the spaces I need. The ability to open with one hand is brilliant. When the time comes to replace it I will get another but shop around cause you can get them for around £35.

I liked my Gerber a lot until it bit me,somehow the(very sharp)knife blade came open while I was using the pliers and gave me a nasty cut,I have since gone over to Leatherman who put sharp blades on the outside of the handle,much safer.The Gerber is OK but to my mind feels flimsy compared to my Leatherman.

Great little multi-tool for those that need a handy pair of pliers every now and then! Knife is sharp and the scissors are great - but won't cut anything too large. The flat head screwdriver is too fat, but the cross head works well. Only down side is the wire cutters. Used these once on a piece of wire and it bent the cutting edge. Now the plier's don't open smoothly. Could have been improved with either a stronger edge, or replaceable one, like some others offer.

Solid piece of kit, fits in the hand nicely even with 3/4 length handles. One handed opening may take a while as the plier jaws are quite resistant to moving at first. Disappointing to find the pictured set of bits is NOT supplied, it is an optional toolkit coupler and bit set.
