Identify This Gerber

[cerbera147]

I have no picture but I saw it in a shop today. The staff were too busy so I didn't ask 

It is a Gerber tool but looked like a long rectangular metal box type thing 

That's really all I've got  Hopefully someone will immediately identify it  I'm sure I saw it on here before 

If we can't work it out I'll call in when I'm next in the area

Gerber Multi-Lite?

That looks like the one, thanks Spoonrobot 

Is it a good tool then, a tool worth having? Think I'll call in next time and ask the price

Good tool? Yeah, the quality is pretty good actually. It is built just like a Multi-Plier 600, which is generally considered the best Gerber makes.

The problem is the design itself. The LED light is quite weak by today's standards, and the boxy shape of the tool isn't the most comfortable to carry. Plus you have to open the "lid" every time you want to use a blade. A good Swiss Army Knife with the same blades makes a lot more sense from an EDC standpoint.

On the other hand, the Multi-Lite has a higher gee whiz whatcha got there! factor
