  Small size/pocket with quite a few useful tools. Very good overall, and at a really affordable price (around 60€). Of course, if someone has experienced a similar Swiss or American multi-tool, they might not easily give five stars that it perhaps deserves. However, we are talking about a much higher cost for those (e.g., the Victorinox starting from 150€)

  It has served me better than any other multitool, after 2 years of daily use the blade still cuts like a razor.
  The tools open easily and lock securely, undoubtedly the best in its category.

  Truly the best thing I have ever used so far. I have had it for 3 years and I have it on me 24/7 and use it constantly. Its blade cuts like a razor even after all these years. Overall, all its tools are durable and very useful. I give it a thorough cleaning once a year with silicone lubricant and it works like new. Its construction is very sturdy. As soon as you hold it in your hands, you realize it is indestructible. Overall, because I have used other products from the company, I can confidently say that they are high-quality tools with long-lasting durability. Anyone who buys it will not regret it.

  You see on the American site they present multitools full of mud... mountains, lakes, jeeps, and sparks from welding, and you think you found the perfect multitool, the toughest, the perfect quality. And I fell for it... I did some market research, but not as much as I should have, probably, in order to buy something good. I bought this particular model from the (!) Gerber representative in Greece. As soon as I held it in my hands, I have to admit that I was impressed by its sturdy feel and the very good opening and closing of the tools. However, the essence lies in the quality, the real quality of both this specific model and Gerber in general.

  First of all, in just a few days, I saw brown stains everywhere. I didn't want to believe it was rust. I started searching online for similar reports and unfortunately, I saw thousands. I had no other choice, I got disappointed and every now and then I applied WD-40 and tried to maintain it. In my possession for 2 years, I did the same maintenance every 3-4 months. Having a Spartan Victorinox from 2000, costing about 22 euros, twenty years later I have never put a drop of oil on it nor have I ever sharpened it, and you can understand how I felt seeing a 2017 product for 55 euros rusting for no reason every month!!!!!! Made in China, of course, like many other Gerber tools. Full of material defects.

  Secondly, after about a month, one day as I was cleaning it thoroughly, I noticed a crack, about the size of a hair and about 3 millimeters long, on the pliers. I couldn't believe it!!! As I squeezed the pliers, the crack became more and more noticeable. I immediately returned it and they told me it was a manufacturing defect, although at first they had a hard time believing and accepting it, in other words, a material defect. They pressed the pliers in front of me and it broke into pieces!!! Then they didn't know what to say. They gave me a used (!) one, which they provocatively said was useless, it was a sample in the company's exhibition. According to Gerber's warranty, they were obliged to replace it with a brand new one. After some time, while cleaning it, I saw a hole in the joint of the metals in the pliers, in a spot that is not easily visible, and unfortunately, on both sides!!! In other words, two small holes! Holes that over time would collect rust inside and at some point, it would rot internally. I took photos and sent them to Gerber, complaining and asking them to replace it with a BRAND NEW one, and if possible, with a different model because I got tired of the material defects in the Chinese Suspension. Gerber replied to me in excellent condition, without a scratch and of course without the slightest suspicion of misuse, which was evident from the photos. Even if I had misused it, holes in the joint of the metals cannot be caused by use but by the Chinese manufacturing factory and the low-quality materials they use. They replied that this problem does not affect the functionality of the multitool (if possible) and there will be no replacement or repair. The Greek representative showed maximum indifference after many emails!!!
  In the end, I accepted that this company, along with Leatherman, which are based in the same place, the same city, have exactly the same poor quality of steel and they sell it like gold!! Two identical companies, exactly the same, just with different designs on their tools. A search on the internet will convince you whether I am telling the truth or not! Thousands of reports of breakages and rust all over the world!! Just look at how many videos their pliers break when cutting something hard and how they rust!! I was not disappointed only by the quality but also by the company in Greece and America. FAR AWAY!!!
  Give something more and buy quality. I bought VICTORINOX spirit and I am shocked by its quality. Stay away from Americans and pretenses, prefer quality, ergonomics, durability, longevity.
