New MP600 version

[J-sews]

Hybrid yes, but weird not so much. Seems like Gerber simply took the best features from the MP600 and Diesel and combined them

Isn't that how evolution works?

Me too!  I think that might be just what I was looking for, for my next MT 

If they made a civilian version by replacing the sight adjustment tool with a standard hex bit adapter, I'd get one.

Actually, since the sight adjustment tool is removable, I don't see why they don't start with a hex bit adapter, and put a hex shank on the removable sight adjustment tool. Best of both!

That would make it even better as I also have no use for a sight tool.  I'd even be happy if you could get it with a #2 Robertson bit instead of the sight tool.

If you wanna talk "hybrid" cross-breeding, how about how Leatherman is doing a Gerber-style out-the-front tool, while Gerber is apparently trying to take on the LM MUT's market. Where the military markets are concerned, at least, the gloves are officially off!

[Grant Lamontagne]

Actually, Gerber has been supplying a number of tools to military organizations for years.  In fact, Gerber even beat out Leatherman for a military contract years ago with their first butterfly opening tool, the MPT.

So basically Gerber not only makes a better Gerber than Leatherman, they also made a better Leatherman than Leatherman!

Oh, I know about Gerber's military contracts. But this new Multi-Plier seems much more weapon-oriented, with the carbon scraper and sight adjustment tool, and hence a direct competitor to the MUT specifically.

[Grant Lamontagne]

I'd hate to say that Gerber is copying Leatherman by making a firearms specific multitool since there have been a lot of them in the past, and long before Leatherman started doing them.  Multitasker, Caspian and others all did it long before Leatherman did. 

Also, I really don't care for the MUT so I'd probably say that Gerber did it better, if indeed you could compare a full sized tool like the MP600ST with a large tool like the MUT.

Does anyone know if this is out yet (UK preferably).

I'm curious by the new blade design and the super strong looking philips driver - In short..

Can anybody help??

UPDATE

Ahh... sorry folks didn't realise it was marketed as the ST version, should be fairly easy to find. Apologies.

I'm very pleased to see them still working on the MP600 line, and I hope the longer Phillips and sleek lock tabs make it on to the rest of the range.

Me too gareth as i dont like the stubby phillips they use ,so would be interested to see if they add this to there other models

I'd have to buy one too.

I cant say it any better than Mike

That long phillips should be added to all models, might finally be able to use it for something.  My favorite was the model with interchangable heads, loved the cable shears.
