My Gerber

[haja.maideen.988]

hi, These are my Gerber. I am sold with the one hand operation plier.
I am in to fishing, so holding the fish in one hand and operating the the gerber on the other hand is very convenience, unlike others where you need two hand to open the plier.
 1. is Gerber 600 bought 12 years ago.
 2. is Gerber 400 just bought yesterday.
 3. is cheap $8 multi tool.

Welcome to the forums. Have you seen the Gerber MP600 Fisherman yet? It has a nice long pair of needle nose pliers designed for fishing.

My cheap "Gerber". friends may wonder why I buy cheap item. if I go with a group fishing. I carry cheap tool. why? it may get stolen and most here dont believe in God. They might simply do it.

hi, I just tested the Gerber 400 Scissors it can cut braided fishing line. Wow, That is great.  Normal Scissors cant't cut braided fishing line.

hi brothers, I intend to buy the Gerber Balance Jaw Tool. I hope the screw driver bit can be change to generic type. Because at work I need Torx drivers to do my work. can the Gerber Balance tool bit change to generic type?

Those generic type. I thought Gerber also selling it.

Nope, regretfully not.

Welcome!  Love the MP's, great tools.    The Balance is a great little tool as well, too bad Gerber hasn't released a set of bits that fit the drivers.

hi, Thanks . I when to the shop this morning to test. The standard tool bit dont fit. hmm.  Then I saw the Gerber Dime, It was so small. I bought it and put it on my key chain.

Both Leatherman and SOG have one-hand-operable pliers. The Leatherman OHT is an obvious example. It has spring-loaded pliers too. Woo-hoo!

By the way, what is this land of thieves in which you live?

I lived in the stolen county. Singapore
hmm Leather man? I tested the popular wave today. it is not smooth.
I saw in youtube they compare the leather man equivalent with gerber Dime.
The Gerber win. It depent on you, beauty is in the eye of beholder.

Just check online the Leather Man OHT dont have scissor. Which is a must
for me.

I went today to the shop to get the Gerber Diesel. it was the last piece and plier was hard to clamp. product defect? I drop it and bought a SOG knife sharpener.

[haja.maideen.988]

today I went to the shop and bought a Gerber balance.
Seem it is the right tool for me. But it is made China.
it did'nt come with sheath. It is the right tool because
it fit my need. The plier is very easy to deploy. The
Scissors is easy to pull out. Pulling the knife is same
like others but blade is big. The screw driver bit can be
pull out. I bought those generic bit and grind it to fit
the tool. So now I have Trox driver bit which I used at
work to open machine. It also thicker than my Gerber 400.
One of the screw driver can't flash in. The made in
China is bugging me.

I just order the Gerber 400 black even I have the silver stainless steel version.
I also bought the tool bit. interestingly the stndard tool bit fit in to it.
