It is in eBay's best interest to not get them off. They do make their money in fees after all.

I bought one of these on eBay for $15.91 with free shipping from China.  It was advertised as New Brand Stainless Steel Multi-Purpose Tool Pliers Utility Family Essential.  I could tell from the fuzzy photos that was labeled Gerber but I never really thought for that price that it would be the genuine article.  So I wasn't surprised when I got it and clearly it wasn't the real deal.  But it is probably worth $15.91.  What did piss me off though was the cheesy holster.  Crap.

Just ordered MP600 DET on eBay for $44, remembering this thread I scrutinized every picture very carefully and compared to pictures on this thread. At least I couldn't see any telltale clues that it would be a fake, so fingers crossed :)

Well, it finally arrived...

First impressions, it was technically sold as new, but the seller told in the description that it has been stored without a sheath... the handles have scuff marks, but the tools look unused, plier action seems fine...

Pictures will follow :)

I decided to pick one of these up to sate my curiosity.  First thing to note is that, while the listing doesn't mention the name Gerber, both the sheath and the tool are marked Gerber. :(

Despite the low price I have to say that these just aren't worth buying, except as a curio I guess, certainly not worth it as a working tool IMO.  The file is just textured steel, the screwdrivers are all rounded at the corners, the blade is blunt.  In fact the only two tools that might actually be OK at their jobs are the lanyard ring and the C4 spike, and I'm never likely to need either of them. ::)

I had thought about putting a MP600 head into this tool but, while it does just go in it also binds up badly enough to not be worth the irritation.

Nice work Chako  :cheers:

I have come across a Gerber Multiplier 400 at LINK REMOVED



Is this the genuine one or fake ?

If I need to pick some good EDC tools.
Then I would take my love leatherman multi tool wave and a flash light. Other are just a waste !!!

At first glance the picture looks OK, but that's a very stock looking shot.  No way to say for sure that the tool you get would definitely look like that. :shrug:

Thanks for the reply.
I really don't believe that the ebay is selling the fake or duplicate Gerber tools and I am not able to understand that why Gerber doesn't makes some provisions to check these frauds. Gerber is a famous brand and people are buying these Gerber tools with a believe of its authenticity and genuineness.

I just found this on a local trading site, selling it as a genuine Gerber Multi Tool, it's a total fake and a pretty crap one too!
