" ... The picket clip is way to flimsy. ... "
" ... broke the second time I used it. ... "
" ... Bought in June, pocket clip broke today. ... The screw holding the clip and most of the tool just snapped. ... "
" ... Mine came already bent . ... because is made from cheap materials . ... so I tried to unscrew one of the screws . ... so the screw is irremediably lost . ... "
" ... pulling a finish nail out a door molding the pliers broke ... "
" ... The closed ends are wobbly and the tool overall feels a bit cheap. ... "
" ... The metal is much thinner, and the overall quality is pretty poor. ... It is noticeably lighter than the original, but not because the materials are lighter weight and more durable. ... It is lighter because it is cheaply made. ... The belt clip is weak and bent the first day I carried the tool in my pocket. ... It is very flimsy. ... "
" ... Not as sturdy as it should. ... "

" ... Well made and fits nicely in the hand. ... "
" ... I love that it comes with a pocket clip as I've had issues with the typical Gerber sheath. ... "
" ... Spring loaded is a must and the needle nose opens so wide. ... I love how it has a pocket clip so no bulky sheath is needed. ... "
" ... it works really well but it makes a quiet noise like theres sand stuck in it when you unfold the pliers ... "
" ... I love it, it's lighter the blade holds an edge better. ... "
" ... The locking mechanism to keep blades extended works very well and is a big plus for this model. ... "
" ... It also fit easily into my battle belt holder. ... "
" ... It's a nice tool and even though it holds up well (the pliers still squeeze very hard without having problems) it does feel a little flimsy and the pocket clip bends very easily. ... "

" ... Missaligned, felt very cheap. ... "
" ... the two hand grips don't align and its a very noticeable failure. ... "
" ... The poor design of the Philips head renders it flat, not rounded like a "normal" Philips head screwdriver ... "
" ... It feels cheap in the hand. ... "
" ... The closed ends are wobbly and the tool overall feels a bit cheap. ... This Gerber is not something I'd feel comfortable with relying upon. ... "
" ... It looks and feels like a knock off version of the brand. ... It feels like if you put pressure gripping something on the pliers the handles will bend or brake. ... "
" ... The half with the cross tip screwdriver is almost impossible to open with your bare hands, been using a flat head screwdriver just to get it opened, have tried high grade oil to no avail. ... "
" ... It takes two hand to release the lock, so it is not the safest multitool I’ve used. ... "

" ... the pliers don't line up, the release to close the blades is all out of center and requires lots of work to get it to move. ... "
" ... I got the tool and it came with broken scissors and a dull blade. ... "
" ... For cutting the string on round hay bales the retraction release for the knife blade is very difficult and almost impossible to operate with gloves on. ... "
" ... VERY DANGEROUS WITH THE KNIFE. ... "
" ... The factory edges on the knife and scissors are terribly dull. ... "
" ... I bought this to replace a lost Leatherman Rev because I liked the idea of the spring loaded pliers. ... The pliers work OK but the overall workmanship was pretty sloppy. ... The only thing without an edge was the knife blade. ... Sadly, I'm old enough to remember when the Gerber was a reliable knife company, but they seem to have devolved into a crappy gadget company. ... "
" ... Though this tool is not trash, I don't know if it will make the final cut. ... "
" ... Open the packaging and find its already dirty with sand or grit in the main joint of the needle nose, the needle nose has dents and the teeth on the tool are worn from use. ... "

" ... Was looking for a lighter more modern multi tool. ... "
" ... Looks cool too. ... "
" ... Nice wish it came with a case ... "
" ... Bigger than Leatherman but looks and feels more on the tool side ... "
" ... It was cheap, and it feels like it. ... "
" ... I like the design of the Gerber, as well as the deep carry clip, but the Leatherman feels much sturdier. ... "
" ... Thes newer version is lighter, looks nicer and is a smidge more compact though. ... "
" ... You can buy 3 of these for one Leatherman (I prefer Leatherman, less goofy design and more function) ... "
