Gerber GDC Belt Tool.
on: January 27, 2015, 01:16:25 PM
After buying the Bear Grylls Survival Belt, I figured I should also acquire the Gerber GDC Belt Tool.

The GCD Belt Tool comes in a one size fits most 52" long. The idea here is to trim the belt to fit. I would imagine a judicious use of a lighter should be required to ensure that the nylon webbing won't fray or come apart.



One end of the belt has a loop which is designed to loop around a hook on one end of the belt. This system will make this belt and easy on and off belt.



Because Gerber loves to imprint their name and logo everywhere, the backside of the fairly large and heavy buckle did not escape notice.



Now if this was just a simple belt, I wouldn't have bought it. The GDC Belt Tool comes with a nice hidden one piece pocket tool...er...I guess we can call this a belt tool.



The very ergonomic tool offers you a bottle opener, and mini pry bar. The mini pry bar could also double as a large flat driver in a pinch.





The buckle & tool weight about 9 oz. This is a hefty belt buckle. The buckle is faced with textures G10, and all naked metal is coated in titanium, making this not only corrosion resistant but adds to the overall looks.

If you are in the market for a belt, and don't mind something heavyish, then you should take a look at the GDC Belt Tool.

Is that all there is to it? A tiny one piece tool inside an oversized belt buckle?

That's a bit disappointing.

Yeah, I was expecting a little more than that if I'm honest. :shrug:

Cheers for the pictures though Dan. :tu:

Same here. I was a bit underwhelmed when I got a good look at it.

Step 1 - Get a strip of leather or a strip of webbing type of material.
Step 2 - Get a Swiss Card Lite
Step 3 - Get a few meters of gaffers tape
Step 4 - Attach the Swiss Card to one end of the belt with tape and with the remaining tape attach the the other end to your liking.

Voila, a much ugly, but much more useful belt.

I must say, the one with the knife looks nice.

So much potential, but could to better. As has been said, something like a Shard would be really good in that.

Chako: what's the width of the belt? Will it fit my trousers?
