[@johnmcdougald1238]

I lean a little more toward the Gerber Multitools mainly because it seems that the included tools are a little stronger in many areas and most models are designed so that when the pliers head is open and in use, the handle solid and rounded as opposed to the Leatherman's open tool storage area that just gives you two edges that make it uncomfortable to really grip the pliers hard.

[@nor4277]

Gerbers from a guy who used it on my job amazing choice,reliable. I would suggest you look at other models too.

[@bigdave4863]

Just bought this for my youngest son's stocking stuffer, he's 10. This Gerber multi-tool has to be a great buy based upon this video. I personally own several Gerber products and consider them great tools. Thanks!

[@christopherbock6231]

My Dad has always told me ACAG- Always Carry A Gerber so I always have. I have a dime microtool for EDC, An Obsidian Folder for EDC. Waiting for Christmas so my Legend 800 to be delivered.

[@edgaraquino2324]

I have a REV & purchased the NXT at HD for $40 & change...I bought it to give my REV a break when I want to strictly pocket carry on a light day when I'm out & about...the REV is considered the runt of the litter, vis-a-vis the Wingman & the Sidekick, but I feel it has a good plier head, cutters, a very sharp knife, good fit & finish & that package opener which is excellent...all it needs is a Wave - type scissors & it would be just right...I purchased it at HD for $20 & change years ago....wouldn't now, too expensive...the NXT has a nice tool set, sharp knife, scissors, all outside & they lock, designed for medium to light use...you can carry it with a dedicated folder...all-in-all, a nice tool for a decent price...a good starter tool for beginners & a nice addition for those who collect & use multitools...Good review, thanks!!😊

[@gregbarry5875]

Leatherman does have the guarantee that they'll replace it if it breaks for any reason. If you are tough on your tools, that matters.

[@danstanford89]

So does gerber..... 25 years warranty

[@kalebmulisha6313]

My Leatherman is broken and they want you to do so much crap to get it fixed a s they make you mail it in after you do all the paperwork! Absolutely trash to me. I buy Gerber priced great and if they ever break Home Depot has always just replaced no questions asked!

[@fc436]

@@kalebmulisha6313 Leatherman ever no question replace the tool. EVER. In Usa, in italy and Spain at least. Im sure. I broke one on purpose and they raplace me. Nothing, Victorinox, and Sog have a similar warranty. Gerber i dont now.

[@RickMacLennan]

A friend of mine had Leatherman refuse to replace it after the pliers snapped twice. He swapped to the original Gerber Suspension.

[@Cuptow]

@@kalebmulisha6313 they'll replace it once for free with great customer service, you pay for shipping, I learned the tools limits at that point and haven't broken a Leatherman since, they'll repair or entirely replace with a newer model if broken irreparable and discontinued, because the key point is they don't ask for your original ownership of it, they don't question that, so they must keep track of return customers who repeatedly have broken, because someone could theoretically buy a used one on eBay and repair then resell it, even though they'd make more through ATF auctions, the warranty is not there for you all to abuse your tools, it's in the knowledge you'll be able to pass down something that still works, and can even be sent in for a tune up, it's the safety of a good investment, plus it keeps American jobs and the appeal factor, to break the plierhead once and have it replaced for free instead of the tool being useless and could be filled in by a SAK without the pliers in the EDC role, I'm sure they also keep track of if it's the same tool needing repair, because their first repair their willing to lose money on, and if by questions you mean the 180 character limit text you need to write to explain the issue to them

[@danwoodson2384]

A difference between the two is in the ease of getting in-and-out of your pocket. The Leatherman is more rounded and smooth on the outside; the Gerber has sharper edges and protrusions which can hang up on clothing. Since I am always taking mine in-and-out of my pocket, the Leatherman is the clear choice for me for this reason!

[@swfan1004]

Oh my god I forgot how it was to take them out. I already have so many tears from my gerber. I completely forgot about that 😅

[@m1ndst0rm3d9]

I purchased the NXT at Target for $30... After watching this im really happy with the purchase... Thanks for the Review 👍👍👍

[@michaelliu4098]

I had both and lost my wingman. I bought a combo of NXT and a Gerber knife for $19.98 from Lowes. Not as good as Wingman in manufacturing quality. But it's cheaper, far more cheaper.

[@patrickcronin6829]

I have a wingman and the older suspension. I find myself using the suspension far more often. I like the main blade for scribing lines when woodworking because of the straight edged blade. I probably won’t get the NXT, but might get another older suspension because it’s my favorite multi tool in case they are phasing it out.

[@semco72057]

I have the Gerber Suspension NXT's along with my Gerber Center Drive multi-tools and keep the two Suspensions in my backpack, and EDC bag. The Center Drive is kept at home for normal use.

[@livingsurvival]

Thanks for watching Sidney.

[@curiosityintrigue]

My Gerber Suspension NXT is my EDC. I’ve tried several different multi-tools and this is my 2nd favorite. The non-NXT Gerber Suspension is my favorite since it has the same quality and more tools, but since it doesn’t have a pocket clip it is not my EDC.

[@net2000man]

I got mine at Home Depot a few months back, and I use it every day. Great tool and very versatile! Great review, thanks for this one!

[@mikelaplante7512]

I have both as well. The Gerber's outboard tools are a winner for me... just a better design. My Wingman pliers sometimes get hung up on the frame while closing the tool. Can be difficult to free it and that's annoying as hell. Also, the tools are difficult to swing open. The Gerber isn't quite as aesthetically pleasing to me as the Wingman, but it wins in every other way.

[@kyleleichtman1334]

Totally agree on having outboard tools handy for tasks! Great vid and definitely pickin one of these up!

[@livingsurvival]

Thanks for watching Kyle.

[@decklanburkhart8113]

I have found that both (I have both of these) have pocket clips that will catch on things (getting in and out of the truck) and the gerber does it far more often and I have bent the clip out. Easy enough to bend back. Last time it happened I bent the end of the clip more flat with the tool to help prevent this. Both are phenomenal tools though! Great video

[@christopherkight3378]

That leatherman will last alot longer, i have a wingman and a suspension, the Gerber was crap and didnt last with regular use for no more than 6 months, the leatherman on the other hand, after years of use hasnt let me down, there is no comparison.

[@ebx2323]

Bought the Gerber because of your recommendation and I love it!

[@marcolabranche2480]

Got the SUSPENSION NXT about a month ago.... I bought the GERBER FLATIRON a little bit earlier and was pretty surprised buy the fit and finish and quality for the money, so I decided to give a try with the SUSPENSION NXT. I’m sold to LEATHERMAN multitools, but this time GERBER you did it right. Sold my WINGMAN and the SUSPENSION NXT replaced it in my EDC rotation since then.

[@livingsurvival]

I agree with you, Gerber has stepped it up.

[@duncdunc76]

Can always count on living survival to provide a good honest review! I'm a happy wingman and wave owner but for the price difference I would have to say that the suspension is a better value then the wingman.

[@livingsurvival]

Thanks 🙏

[@stevelink3]

Excellent comparison, sir! I too, have several other multi-tools, including the Leatherman Wave. I agree that the clip on the Gerber is nice, and it's one of the few designs that make it easy to detach/attach to the pocket one-handed. I also like the solid locking mechanism of the Gerber. Thanks again for the great review!

[@MrDavidTrionfi]

Home Depot had the wingman and the style ps in a combo pack for $30 now mysteriously the price to buy both has crept up to $90 so I can’t compare them to nxt for the price. Both are made in USA so please buy either of them but when you do please go to a brick and mortar store preferably a mom and pop shop or a gun store support your local Americans!

[@stevelinbergbaby135]

The Gerber looks like a good choice for EDC hand tool👍

[@warlantactical]

Its only cheap now for the holidays it will go up . The wing man is a great edc tool i as well am going switch out my nxt for my edc and move the wingman to my trauma bag

[@theflyingmechanic6937]

Nice comparison 👏 my daughter just bought me the Gerber Suspension NXT to add to my collection. I love multitools, so I have a couple 😁 I work as an aircraft mechanic and my EDC at work is a Gerber Center drive and a Victorinox Tinker but even though the Center drive is awesome it's a bit bulky for just kicking around the house on the weekends. So I'm hoping the NXT will fill that void. I have a Wingman I've had for years and it's great but aside from the blade, scissors and pliers I think it's kinda limited especially when it comes to it's drivers plus it's slightly heavier. It's served me well for years don't get me wrong and Leatherman always makes a good product. But it is what it is. Also I like my drivers to lock. If I'm putting pressure on a screw I don't want to be concerned about it folding over on me. So we'll see 👀 but I like it so far. It's lightweight, tools lock and it's easily pocketable with the clip. I can just grab it off the counter slip it in my pocket and go. Thhanks for the review, looking forward to more.

[@wt5390]

I have both as well. My opinion get the leatherman. Better scissor, locking mechanism, lot smaller, easier to flip internal tools out (Gerber hurts), overall better quality. And way better warranty--lifetime. Leatherman you can even send it in because your blade becomes dull from normal use.

[@semco72057]

I decided to buy the Gerber Suspension NXT because of the tools I use most which is the screwdrivers, and pliers and they look better too. I already had the Center Drive and love it most of all due to it's screwdriver length, and the pliers on it.

[@darthblade2016]

I love Leatherman multi-tool and generally prefer them over Gerber in that arena, however, I have to agree with your assessment on this one. I have both the Suspension and the NXT as well though. For half the price of the Wingman/Sidekick offerings, I just can't see spending the additional money on the "budget" Leatherman options. Maybe back when they we also $30, but not at the $50 price point. Cool review and the first that I've seen compare these two.

[@livingsurvival]

Yep, completely agreed.

[@DamionJR4923]

I like the Rebar way better than the wingman and sidekick. The suspension is good for what it is.

[@darthblade2016]

@@DamionJR4923 Agreed. For $10 more than the Wingman/Sidekick, the Rebar is far superior in my opinion. Ergonomically better and although it doesn't have spring-loaded pliers, better overall option. Definitely love the Suspension/NXT for the prices.

[@simonh6371]

@@darthblade2016 $10 more??? Hell over here in the UK the WIngman/Rev/Sidekicks cost £40 = $50, the Rebar is £72 or $88

[@darthblade2016]

@@simonh6371 When i posted that comment, everywhere i looked, there about a $10 difference between the Wingman/Sidekick and the Rebar. I haven't looked in a while, so it could have changed. If there were that much of a difference between them, i think there is probably more of a comparison.

[@Memphisfire40]

I have both. The gerber’s pocket clip snapped and handles are uneven. My leatherman wingman isn’t as great as my original wave. Original Leatherman tools are built like a tank. Before gerber went to china for tools i loved them more then Leatherman. Now i have a original wave and it’s just perfect.

[@AJHart-eg1ys]

I got my first PST while in the Army. I thought they almost perfected that model with the Blast, whose major advantage was adding the locking tools. Then they discontinued it and now have the Bond which, again, does NOT have locking blades, but at least it costs $20 more than the PST used to (the heritage edition of the PST costs $70 more than the original). And since it doesn't come with the clip - which will run an extra $10-$15 - the Bond then basically competes with the tools it was created to replace at the "lower" $60 price point when manufacturing costs increased. I love the Leathermans that I've owned, but that company consistently seems to have squirrels running around, making decisions.

[@tomcatt998]

Have the gerber suspension,, after all these years it's still holding up good,, and my Winchester one from Walmart with the xtra bits is holding up equally well too,, my next trip to Walmart im gettn the $4.50 cent Hart tool multi plier to test.

[@TacoFlavorKeeezes]

Great review vid!! You do a GREAT job explaining and showing each tool!!

[@Wolf459]

I bought a Wingman and a Sidekick years back at a Home Depot sale price of $19.98 at a time when the MSRP for the entry-level models was $29.98. Quite the deal then. But I wouldn't lay down the dollars they're demanding today. I've since picked up the NXT and find it out preforms the similarly-stacked Leathermans at every turn.

[@ericabull8755]

Use it a grest deal ,I would always pick gerber of any of the rest ,they are reliable as hell.

[@livingsurvival]

Thanks for the comment Ron.

[@randomnessofme5459]

Gerber less expensive yes but if it uses the same Chinese Steel 3CR...) as in the Grtber Dime, I will take the Wingman and it’s 420HC steel. I also have a Gerber Truss and tools are hard to extend. I don’t like the look of the NXT because I feel that dropping it in the mud will lead to a lot of cleaning unlike on the Wingman. I was having same type arguement with myself re Wingman vs Sidekick but ignored the Gerber due to my experiences with tool extension on the Truss. The Package Tool on the Wingman won me over because I get a lot of the plastic nightmare packages and seeing how easily that tool opens packages sold me on Wingman over the Sidekick.

[@bobwampler3387]

Gerber stepped up their game with this tool. Thanks for the review.

[@johnlhigh]

One thing thats nice about the wingman is the retail package opener and if you do use scissors (alot of people do not care) they are bigger. I own a few Leathermans and Gerbers. My favorite is the Center drive...

I thought I'd lost my Leatherman Sidekick. Comparing prices and features, I bought the Suspension NXT, which I carried for a few days until I found my Sidekick. Given the choice, while the Suspension looked more appealing, I much preferred the Sidekick. Well, I've misplaced it again, hoping I might still find it, I went back to the Suspension for a few weeks. Then I decided to try out an Ozark Trail Multiforce, which I'm growing to love. The Multiforce is an 1/8" thicker and heavier but, unlike the Suspension, forcibly using the pliers is not painful or awkward. In many ways, I'm liking it even better than the Sidekick.

[@randomnessofme5459]

I have a Gerber Truss and due to it being stiff and. practically tearing my fingers off unlocking tools to put them away, I ordered a Wingman as a replacement. I have a Squirt PS4, as a keychain tool and the Wingman for home and possible EDC though undecided.

While I can see the advantages of the Suspension, I still prefer the Wingman. Got one for my ladyfriend for her work as a caregiver in a nursing home, and she has never looked back. Easier and more comfortable in pocket, and does everything that she needs it to do as far as slicing through any type of belt or restraint in an emergency, and the scissors, she tells me, are great for when using first aid or medical supplies. For her situation, I'll still choose the Wingman. But as the saying goes, your mileage may vary. Good vid.

[@ernestoyanez1612]

Do they really need to be compared?, Leatherman steel bend, it does not breaks; Gerber steel is harder, it does not bend, it breaks, but you need apply really exesive force before it happens, i tested a Gerber MP600 Multi-Plier cutting quartz stones with the cutting part of the plier, then i cut very tiny copper wire easily. I dont like a bended steel in a tool.

[@thomallom5906]

Both are excellent tools. The outboard tools on the NXT are a winner. But the tool is much larger than it needs to be, making it uncomfortable to use. The knives on both are similar, but the Wingman's knife is a winner, due to it's length and ease of deployment (but I also carry a knife. Problem solved.) They're both very good. I use both. But the tool that seems to make it on my hip the most is the MP400 Compact Sport. I can scavenge for something to make an awl, I never need a ruler, and the MP is much more rugged. I can't disrespect any of these, though.

[@AJHart-eg1ys]

Price alone gives the Gerber a headstart that Leatherman then has to overcome. The Suspension comes in at $39 today. The Wingman is $70. To be honest, the main thing holding m e back from switching are the aesthetics and the feeling that, since I started using my PST in the Army, then got them as gifts for my father and brother, that we're kind of a "Leatherman family," plus there are so many garbage products out there that it's difficult to know who to trust.

Other reviews stated that the wingman pinches your inner finger when using the pliers. And the Gerber suspension nx knife blade shimmys out when clakking the pliers hard, creating a hazard. Looks like the Gerber is one step above a Ganzo. I might give it a try. It would be cool if Gerber made an adapter for the Phillips head to accept 1/4" bits.

Not as awkward when using the tools and the first gerber product ive ever bought that had a knife that could cut😂 when it comes to a non budget i will take a leatherman ANY day. My mp600 and centerdrive just didnt cut it for me. Any tool outside of the driver on The centerdrive was just trash, and even the driver was not comfortable to use at all. I prefer my charge tti and my surge waaaaaay more than any other multitool i own. Only time i would recommend a gerber is to be more of a "fidgety time comsuming" tool because they are fun the flick out and play with haha but #teamleatherman for me bub.

[@AlanMilner1948]

Two years later, the Suspension is a mistake. I just bought one, and I will be returning it tomorrow because it is virtually impossible to pry out the inner tools. The knife, the Philips head driver and the scissors come out easily enough but you're going to need another tool to pry out the other blades and, when you get them out, some of them are useless. The awl is too wide to be an awl and doesn't have a thread loop so it isn't really an awl at all. The file blade doesn't have enough bite to take down a hangnail, let alone a nail, and the "ruler" is a joke. I don't know what you can measure with that tiny little ruler. Using your thumb will be just about as accurate and much more convenient. The fit and finish? The version I bought at Home Depot was made in China, according to the packaging, but there is nothing on the tool itself to indicate the country of origin. The tool doesn't align properly in the closed position. I've been carrying Leatherman tools since 1983. When it comes to a tool that you are going to rely upon for the rest of your life, price is not the most important criteria. Performance is. I never touched a Wingman, so I really can't compare the Wingman to the Suspension, but on its own merits, the Suspension should be left that way, hanging suspended from a rack in the store.

[@AJHart-eg1ys]

I got my PST in roughly 1990, and when that disappeared years later I got the Blast, which is thicker but I thought was almost a perfected version of the PST since it finally had locking blades. So, Leatherman being Leatherman, they promptly discontinued it and now that price point has the Bond which, again, doe NOT have locking blades. It also doesn't come with the clip, so for the added cost of ordering that (If you want. i'm a sheath guy) the price gets kicked up to the same - if not more - than the tools it was meant to replace at the lower price point. 🤣 I love Leatherman, but it seems like only every 10th idea they have actually improves anything. Take care.
