Gerber Legendary Blades, known for being the leading design manufacturer in multi-tools, takes this category to the next dimension with the introduction of the Gerber Recoil Auto PlierÔäó. Engineers\' incorporated strong dual springs into the inner handle thus allowing the needle nose jaw to spring out at the touch of a button, for the ultimate in one hand opening use. Spring-loaded handles also open the tool making it easier to tackle the toughest of jobs. A built-in safety prevents accidental opening. The additional component tools are fitted into the \'outboard\' sides of the handle. They include: Fiskars Scissors so tough they can cut through seatbelts, drop point knife blade, wire stripper, twine cutter, cross-head and flathead screwdrivers and can opener. All components lock in place with our patented SAF-T PLUS locking system, the safest, strongest, most durable lock available. The all stainless steel construction provides the strength and durability for long-term use. Includes ballistic nylon sheath.
Advantages: Strong, reliable, spring-loaded pliers, rust proof Disadvantages: Scissors have small cut size
...this is when you're 'in the field', stripping comms wires, tightening nuts on vehicles or adjusting equipment.
KNIFE:
There is only one knife on the 800, but you don't need any more - it is more than up to the job. The front half of it is smooth and razor sharp. I've had my gerber for over 5 years now and it's still got a very good edge. The back half of the blade is serrated, giving you extra cutting power. The blade can be opened quickly using just your thumb - However, you have to hold it in your right hand to do it!
SCISSORS
The scissors are on the opposite side to the blade, and again can be operated with one hand - the right hand! They are spring loaded, which gives you similar advantages to the pliers (see above). One minor disadvantage is the size of the cut - it's only 15mm, which limits their use. They are good when giving...

...INFO
I bought my Gerber from Halfords at a reduced price of £35 instead of £70. I know thats not cheap but you get a lot for your money
Gerber tools come in a multitude of different varieties.
This one is a Gerber Pro Scout Deluxe mp600 multitool complete with a toolkit.
DESIGN
The tool is made of stainless steel with a titanium coloured finish.
You could easily drop this tool on the floor 100 times and it wouldn't get scratched, dented or damaged. They are bomb proof.
DETAILS
Opening up the tool is easy enough and is done via two push in locking buttons on either side. This stops the tool from opening unexpectedly. These then lock when the pliers are fully out thus stopping it from folding back on your fingers.
With the pliers fully out you can then get access to the range of tools stored in the handles. Folding out each...

Advantages: Several tools in a compact package Disadvantages: Fiddly, poor quality knife and cutter - pliers pinch skin.
...I was given a black Gerber Clutch multi tool for Christmas about a year ago.
The tool contains a knife, nail file, bottle opener/flat screwdriver, 'cross-head' screwdriver, tweezers and a pointy type blade. The whole tool folds open to become a pair of pliers/cutters. There is a key-ring on one end.
The tool is quite light and compact, although I was always conscious of its presence in my pocket.
I carried the tool for most of last year, finding it useful on several occasions. Attaching keys to it hampered its use, so I took them off right at the start.
Now to the various tools:
Knife -
This is a strong blade of about 4 cm useable length. Unfortunately it does not stay sharp very long even with light use such as sharpening pencils and cutting paper. It does however hone back to a sharp edge quickly.
Nail File...

This album was created by Alan Wilder, better known from Depeche Mode.
It is an electronica type album and is quite creative.
The track listings are Incubus, Drifting, Luscious Apparatus, Stalker, Red River Cargo, Control Freak, Missing Piece, Last more
Carrying over 1000 tunes in my bag and at the gym I found it a bit of a waste to be lugging cassettes around especially if I had recently downloaded new tunes. I want to listen to them in my car now! This product allows me the choice of all my music on more
