another gerber600 finish issue
on: July 22, 2010, 12:32:58 AM
My job buys me 1 multi tool a year even thou I don't need one that many times but I get to test a lot throu the years! This year ( about 2 weeks ago) I got a new gerber 600 cause I had one years ago and proved to be a good tool frill tool!

  Well now it has became a rust bucket due the hot humid weather and sweat! Never had this problem with a polished leatherman! Wish they polish there's and charge a couple more dollars and it would be perfect tool! Anybody else have this problem? Thanks

Stainless steel not rustproof. A smear of oil on the tool helps. For rust to damage a tool it needs a long time with no maintenance or care. Most spots are either sticky grime (hand sweat lifting grime from inside pouch) or surface rust that just needs cleaning off.
