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

I've had the same Gerber multitool in my outdoor bag for over a decade and it's always worked flawlessly. I decided to buy this one to keep in the car and was so impressed I bought a second one of these a couple of weeks later. The quality, fit and finish are very good. This is a very solid multitool built to last. Frankly, at this price it's impressive. I've also had good experiences with Gerber's lifetime warranty. I sent my old multitool in because the blade started showing rust spots and wear after nearly a decade. They cleaned it up, sharpened it, and sent it back at no cost, no questions asked. 9 out of 10 companies would've said it was wear and tear and denied warranty work.

The Gerber Gear Truss Multitool is a masterclass in practical engineering—tough, refined, and ready for anything. After putting it through weeks of real-world use, from garage repairs to camping trips, I can confidently say it punches far above its price tag. This isn’t a gimmick gadget; it’s a serious piece of kit designed for people who actually use their tools. Build Quality & Engineering: From the moment you unfold it, the Truss exudes confidence. The all-steel construction feels rock solid—no flex, no rattle, no shortcuts. Each of the 17 integrated tools deploys smoothly and locks into place with satisfying precision. Gerber’s design team clearly prioritized balance and ergonomics; it feels equally at home in your hand whether you’re cutting, prying, or turning a screw. The spring-loaded needle-nose pliers have excellent tension and alignment—tight enough for control, but never stiff or sticky. Metal Quality & Durability: The stainless steel used here is excellent. It resists corrosion, holds a sharp edge, and shrugs off abuse that would scar lesser tools. The wire cutters handle both copper and steel wire cleanly, and the knife blade sharpens easily while retaining an edge longer than expected for this price point. This is a tool you can throw in a truck, take on the trail, or keep in a workshop without worrying about it giving up under pressure. Packaging: Even the presentation feels premium. The Truss comes in a compact, protective box with a sturdy nylon sheath that mounts horizontally or vertically—simple, secure, and clearly built for longevity. Pros: Superb all-steel construction with tight tolerances. The design is perfect! Smooth tool deployment and solid locking mechanisms. Durable materials built for real-world wear. Versatile 17-in-1 configuration covers nearly every EDC need. Exceptional value—rivals tools costing twice as much. Cons: Slightly heavier than some competitors (a fair trade for the strength). Use Cases: Perfect for EDC, vehicle kits, camping, construction work, or general home repairs. Compared to premium multitools from Leatherman or Victorinox, the Gerber Truss delivers nearly identical functionality and build integrity at a fraction of the cost. In short: it’s rugged where it needs to be, refined where it counts, and built to last a lifetime.

The Gerber Truss does fine for what I need it to do. It comes with a lot of tools and two knives. The awl's edge is pretty sharp and works well as a package opener. The phillips screwdriver has a surprisingly long reach for a multitool. The outermost tools have fingernail holes to assist in opening and with a little practice you can open them one-handed. The sheath is crap. It feels flimsy and I am not a fan of velcro closures. The snap-closure mag pouch I bought for my old multitool (an mp400) on my duty belt is just too small for this guy, so I had to buy a new one. I am a little concerned that the thicker spring-assisted plier handles might be an issue with some of the very tight confines I have needed pliers in. The plier's jaws don't open as wide either. If I had a least favorite tool from this set its definitely the wire stripper. Overall, for the price, I think this is a perfectly fine entry-level multitool. The lower price point means you can more easily replace it if it breaks, gets lost, or is stolen, and I have had all three happen with various gear at my job. If I had to pick between replacing a $60 workhorse that is good enough and I can beat the bejesus out of and not feel bad or a top-tier $180 EDC queen I'll cry over for scratching, I'll pick the workhorse every single day.

If you’re searching for the ultimate multitool that blends versatility, ruggedness, and thoughtful design, the Gerber Gear Truss 17-in-1 EDC Tool is an outstanding contender. From the moment you pick it up, the Truss impresses with its solid, stainless steel construction and ergonomic grip—instilling confidence that it can tackle demanding tasks without breaking a sweat. The 17 integrated tools are intelligently selected for real-world utility, including pliers, wire cutters, screwdrivers, scissors, and a variety of blades. Each tool deploys smoothly and locks into place with reassuring precision. Whether you’re tightening a screw, opening a stubborn package, or making a quick repair, the Truss delivers reliability and ease of use in a compact package. One of its standout features is how lightweight and portable it is, making it perfect for both daily urban adventures and weekend excursions into the wild. The included sheath is durable and versatile, allowing for secure belt or bag carry, ensuring your tool is always within reach. In summary, the Gerber Gear Truss 17-in-1 EDC Tool is a masterpiece of efficiency and durability. It’s an indispensable companion for anyone who values preparedness, craftsmanship, and practicality in their everyday gear.
