Gerber Suspension NXT

Great item, really solid pliers - way better than my previous Swiss army penknife. I didn't find it stiff as some people have mentioned although taking some of the tools out is a bit more tricky as there aren't finger nail grooves to use. The locking/unlocking catch for tools once in use is good for peace of mind - I'm not worrying about the tool closing on my hadn't while in use!

This multi-tool from Gerber is extremely well made and is certain to stand up to most tasks you could throw at it. The silver model I have comes with 15 tools and, I would say, three features (the packaging only claims two, those being a Pocket Clip and a Lanyard Hole). I would add the tool lock as a clear feature, as this helps make all the other tools work properly.The chunky feel is industrial in nature, with cut-out making it appear more like an aviation tool. This multi-tool is ideal for anyone who needs a good, cheap and reliable tool for EDC or for a gift.

This is a great multitool and perfect companion when hiking and camping, well made with a robust finish this is great value considering the number of tools that are included with this one.

Overall good multitool, not perfect but good.Dislikes - the locking mechanism works well but is not the easiest to operate, the file / ruler is hard to get to as the opening is stiff and the pocket clip gets in the way / the ruler feature is useless as curved and not graded to the mm / there is a tiny bit of play when closed but not much / I wish manufacturers would stop putting locking knives blades on this type of tool as it makes it useless in the UK.Likes - overall quality is good and the tool feels sturdy / good pliers / good combo opener tool / can be taken apart for deep clean / easy to open and close / tools are accessible when closed / handle won't pinch you when using the pliers / tools do not clump so you can pull one without the whole lot popping up / feels comfortable in hand with no hot spot / price is unbeatable, cheaper than some unknown brandsCompared to the Rebar: the leatherman is better finished, the locking mechanism is simple, it seems more solid and the pliers are better. This is where the qualities of the Rebar end, in use it is an absolute pain. First of all closing it is an accident waiting to happen. It is far too stiff. The edge of the file is in direct contact with your skin when using the pliers, also it will pinch you if not careful. The tools are inside so you need to open the tool to get to them, they also clump together making it tricky. This is particularly true for the awl, you need to get the scissors out first to access it then try to get them down while holding the awl blade.... RidiculousThe Gerber is overall much nicer to use, it may not be of quite the same quality but it works better. If you want to spend more for a high end tool then you should consider victorinox. Their Swisstool is way better than the rest in use.

Gr8 value Gerber product bought on offer on Amazon with free delivery.This was highly discounted at time of purchase on Amazon and was significantly the cheapest across the Internet for this same product.Bought as a present for a friend, who reports they are very pleased with it, it appears well built, sturdy, is very practical and looks the part.Gerber could improve this product even more by providing a trouser/shorts pouch or sheaf for the Multitool within the pack, even if this was made of nylon with Velcro fastening etc. This wouldn't cost much on overheads, but would instantly make the product more attractive/desirable to buyers as well as making the item more practical to use and safely securing whilst not in use.Apart from no pouch being provided by Gerber, product recommended.

The reviews about the quality of this tool are way too harsh.Yes the blades this tool wouldn't hold up to any kind of heavy use but that's because they're tiny! Because it's a pocket sized Multi Tool, not a single sturdy Tool! If you want a good knife - Buy a knife!So far the quality of the product, build and materials are great.

Given as a gift. Seems good quality and lots of gadgets to use. Nicely packaged and arrived quickly.

Only negative for me was that it does not come with any kind of pouch
