One of the main issues I've found with the Gerber multi-tools is that since the design has the handles almost touching when the pliers are closed, they are very prone to "bite" the hand of the user. When cutting wire you must be very careful about exactly how you are holding it, or else you will end up with a nasty blood blister pinch on the meat of your palm.

That's an issue with most tools but I've honestly never been bitten by this one and I've used it every day for the past 2 years. I have big hands and the Gerber doesn't close all the way...it stops with like a 3 inch gap at fully closed with the pliers out. Never had an issue personally. My biggest issue is other ppl asking to use it constantly hahaha
@hangnwithdosei32662 жыл бұрын
@@brianfreland9065, 3 inch gap closed? You are obvious not talking about the same Gerber being discussed in this video. Yes, in recent years Gerber has come out with some multi-tool pliers that no longer use the slide-out pliers design that Gerber pioneered...and instead use the design common to Leatherman & many others. At the time that this video came out, Gerber was still only producing/using the slide-out plier design.

I would have liked to see Gerber make one side of the file a diamond file similar to Leatherman because then it provides the user the ability to sharpen other knives and cutting tools which is handy since a multi tool is more of a supportive tool anyways. And yes, I agree, a bottle opener would have been nice. I also would have preferred a saw instead of the serrated knife. IMHO, if you're going to go serrated, then go full-on serrated and make it a saw! Lol. The user does not gain a tremendous advantage by having a second knife blade (serrated or not). So give the user one knife blade, and a saw for the other tasks.

Leatherman offers a bit-driver extension and although the bits are proprietary they are double ended so double the functionality and compactness.

I like my center drive, but i carry it in tandem with a leatherman signal, the signal is an amazing outdoor tool, while the center drive is very good for mechanical and general handyman work. The signal is good because it has a flint, knife sharpener, as well as a tanto sheepfoot knife, and a sawblade for gathering wood to start a fire. Both knives have lifetime warranty which is nice, my signal really shines in the woods, my center drive really shines when im building computers or working on my many mechanical projects. You might say its a bulky set up but i dont have a problem with it. I put my signal before my center drive as ill still usually reach for the signal first. Both are very suitable options for EDC.

Missed Opportunity - the tool is bulkier and a bit less sturdy than other multi-tools. That being said the focus and great innovation of this tool is a side from its namesake, the fact that the main tools used most can all be accessed with one hand. This is awesome. The reason I have not moved towards it is the wire cutters are frail and most reviews and customers found this out fast. I am an outdoor dude so I would prefer a saw than a serrated blade, agree with the need for better steel and a can opener. Also Leatherman does have a bit extender to accept hex bits as well.

I actually still have the old leatherman kick at home somewhere. Anyway, I have seen images of this and seen it for sale at a few outdoor shops, is this Gerber really as great as it is made out to be? ...should I get one or just stick with my old trustworthy Leatherman Charge TTI?

I have 4 Leathermans and I just hate how they have to have their own proprietary bits which if you lose it, you have to spend a whole new Leatherman kit and they are pretty pricey, It's Bullshit really!! But with the Gerber Center Drive, I can spend $20 and get a 60 piece bit kit!! I also love the pry bar, it comes in super handy after taking screws off a cover plate that's been painted over and I can use the pry bar to pry it free. This is the best multitool ever. I have the Leatherman ST 300 and it bends whenever I use force, I'm scared I might break it, but the Center Drive is sturdy and the MP600's are used by the military and I have it as well. Gerber makes THE BEST multitools, PERIOD!!! Leathermans are just too bulky and are needlessly expensive here in Canada. The Surge just feels like a Brick in my pocket!!! Think about it, not only do you have to buy the multitool outright, but you have to spend more money on proprietary bits, bit extender, and if you want to have it clipped on your pocket, well you have to spend more money on a stupid pocket clip!! Seriously, Leatherman will try and make money off you at any turn all you have to do is look!!! Gerber has an equally good warranty, and they won't charge you extra for a stupid pocket clip or proprietary bits!!!

Great review! I've watched many, many of your reviews and enjoy them often. Based on your review of this tool I purchased the Center Drive. Being a Gerber and Leatherman fan for years and years I was very excited to receive this. Unfortunately, I returned it after a couple weeks worth of use. Everyone has different needs and looks for different tool sets and comfortability. For me, this tool was simply just too large to carry daily. The weight isn't my concern, it's the shape and style that turned me off. The plastic thumb rest was a huge turn off. The rattling made me lose confidence in its ability to be a strong pliers set. The blade, while large, was bland (for me). After very careful consideration I returned it and ordered the Leatherman Surge. I've carried the Charge TTi for years and the Suspension from Gerber years prior to that. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was the option to use any t-shanked blade on the Surge. On a lighter note, I absolutely loved the Center Drive screw driver itself. But in the end, wasn't enough for me to keep it. The Leatherman' s extension bit is not too far behind it, and I usually have my MT opened flat, or in the gun position when driving screws, so the off set is minimal. Thanks again for the reviews. Please keep them coming. BTW, my EDC, all day, every day, regardless of what I'm wearing or where I'm going is the Skeletool CX. Beautiful minimalist EDC.

Imagine a multitool where every tool was S30V and the frame itself was 420HC I’d pay $250-300 for that. It would be a one and done.

A year from now we'll all read the primary complaint being how the screwdriver arm breaks off under any strenuous torque situation at all...

Zackery Carroll I was putting a lot of torque on the screw driver with no issues. I do agree that if you were just wrenching on it. You might see failures but your medium duty stuff no problem as I said in the video.
