Gerber can think of about 600 reasons why this much-applauded multi-tool belongs on your belt. But don't worry, they'll just stick to the most important ones here. Like profound versatility, for example. And failsafe performance. And a level of rock-solid design and construction that pleases the eye and satisfies the soul. It all begins with high quality stainless steel. Then they incorporated Gerber's patented one-handed opening pliers. Of the 6 models available, three feature the standard needle nose plier and the other three have bluntnose configuration.
