Gerber is shit and every single thing they make is either retarded or someone makes something similar but better, cheaper

Gerber , all their stuff has either been designed by a comiittee or a Govt / Corporate Marketing Dept Brain Storming Session. I have only of their early knives which is OK Brought a later one and was rubbish

I had one of there early knives. Was good hard ss now they all seem to be soft shit.

Just decided I don't need another multi tool already too much of a "tool" now

I've carried a Leatherman Surge on my belt every working day for the last 6 years .
I'm on my second one now . The first is still alive but lives in the draw of our hallstand by our front door . I don't tend to wear a belt when I'm at home and I've got so used to using my Surge all of the time , for just about any job you can think of that its handy to have one in an easily accessible spot in the house .
The Surge is a big heavy Multi-tool but that's why I like it . It's a Multi-tool , not a Multi-toy .
I did try a smaller Leatherman for awhile ( sorry don't remember the model ) , but soon gave it to the father In-law and went back to the Surge .
The only complaint I have is that their warrantee for breakage is a bit of a pain in the arse . I broke the tip off the main blade on mine ( using it to lever something it was never designed for ) and to get it replaced I had to send the whole knife away . They wouldn't just send me a new blade for me to install . I was without the knife for about a month before it was returned . That's when I purchased the second one , because I felt naked with it .
The old one was returned all fixed and good as new , so they do honour the warrantee's .

I reckon the gerber one is the best value for money ..........and the fact gerber make bloody good knifes. my dad has worn out two blades on his Leather man Wave and they have replaced them for free each time.

Ive got a basic leather man PS2 - PM me and ill send it to you to try if your interested
