GERBERGear Truss 17-in-1 Multitool with Pocket Knife and Needle Nose Pliers - Gifts for Men, Compact EDC Gear, Black with Standard Sheath

Overall, I can’t complain.Sheath is included in packaging… I don’t like it so I’ll carry the tool in my bag though.Knives, scissors, and saw came very, very sharp hence you have to be very careful and no sharpening is required. It is well lubricated with oil everywhere. I’ll see if the sharpness lasts long after many uses and edit this review.The difference between swiss army knife and this is definitely a plier and it works flawlessly. But I agree other reviews saying that it doesn’t look like it will endure super heavy uses such as desperate hold or strong torque. And yeah, it is needle nose plier, definitely not for plumbing jobs even if it was a stand alone plier.Hence I’ll spare this plier for minor repairs or emergency situation, not for major repairs. 20-30$ stand alone pliers at shop will work better and sturdy. Oh and it can only hold things less than like 2 inches in diameter since it can’t be open wider.You can’t expect it to work like smooooth butterfly knife like a contract killer or spy’s knife, even if it is butterfly “style”, in fact you can’t open it using only one hand.Size is just about fine, even small and compact enough for women to handle it. I’m not saying it is too small for big men.I found few drawbacks. Inner side(or center) tools especially awl, are very hard to pull out with your nail, I almost broke my nail while trying it. There’s no way to pull out awl without pulling out all other tools first for me, but thinking of frequency of usage of it, it’s fine. All other tools can be drawn out with little force. Either pinching it or hold a little handle.Tool locking mechanism and a spring inside is a little too tough so the lever digs in to my finger and it hurts. But it never let go extended tools accidentally so it is not that bad.If you have a boyfriend, husband, friend who’s into fixing things or any outdoor activities, give them this as a gift. They will shed a tear in joy and carry it everyday for sure.

I got this for my husband as a birthday gift and it’s by far one of the best gifts! He uses it every day, carries it to work and uses it for almost everything due to the multi functions it’s capable of. It’s perfect size to carry on his belt and the pouch design is spot on so he can wear it vertically or horizontally on his belt making for easy access.

Great value for the high quality product.

I like it but I never use it.

Decent knife, a little rough to open the various tools--I think it will be better with a shot of WD-40. I like the variety of tools, and that it will fit in (most. Girl clothes pockets suck.) my pockets, even with the case. I have carried Swiss Army knives and various makes of Leatherman, and this compares okay. I expect I will prefer it for some tasks, and the others for other things. The little switch to close the tools took me a second to figure out, but I like that the tools will lock, and that there is no risk of catching your fingers when closing them. Overall, I like it.

This tool seems to be well made and of high quality steel. Positive action locking/unlocking button that's easy to use. Good value for the money and would buy again.

Perfect size to carry , quality and durability is amazing very easy to stand open.Highly recommend this

Really the perfect multi-tool from Gerber. I like the black gloss finish and the design really leaves nothing needed. Ive used this on multiple camping and fishing trips and it stays in my truck in my med kit. Easy to use and easy open/close. Not too heavy and can be easily carried in a front pocket or on your belt!
