I’m crossing my fingers that it can lock in at a right angle as well, for fastening applications that requite a little more torque. If you’ve had to tighten or loosen long screws with a standard off-centered multi-tool screwdriver, you’ll likely appreciate this feature even more so than the standard sized bit holder. It can use standard screwdriver bits – yay!Īnd it’s also centered, so you can twist the closed tool as you would any regular screwdriver. Here’s the main feature of the Gerber Center-Drive multi-tool, or at least its namesake feature. The rotatable part is nice, and the carbide composition should give them long life. Yep – Gerber says these are rotatable carbide wire cutters. Damage these cutter blades, and you should be able to replace them for a small cost. One cut of too-hard wire, and standard jaws are permanently deformed. Plus, they’re spring-loaded, a feature I’ve really grown to appreciate in multi-tool pliers.Īnd are those user-replaceable and potentially user-sharpenable wire cutting blades? That’s a very nice feature to have in heavy-use multi-tool pliers. The one-thumb-opening pliers look to deploy and close quickly and easily. But, I can see enough to be excited about.įirst, look at those pliers! They open not just with one hand, but with one finger. The only Gerber product pages I can find seem to be focusing all their efforts and information on comparing Center-Drive features against the features of a few different Leatherman tools. Some of the specs are a little uncertain. Let’s take a look at what gives the Gerber Center-Drive multi-tool the potential to be as great as they make it sound to be.
That Flik was decent, but I prefer the Leatherman OHT.
