Gerber Clutch- initial thoughts
on: August 09, 2006, 12:18:14 PM
I am going to write a complete review of this thing pretty soon, but I thought I would share a few thoughts on it right away.

1.  This thing locks up tight!  Pretty sweet for a small multi.
2.  Tweezers don't seem like the most effective design
3.  Good size- little bigger than many other small multis, but is still small enough to be barely notices, but fills the hand a little better than many others.
4.  The sides are labelled "Blade" and "Nailfile" so you know which tools you are getting- no more flipping out the blade when you need the file or vice versa.
5.  Red color is textured for a decent grip, rather than smooth paint, anodizing or polished steel.  Great for less than optimum weather.

All in all, it's not the perfect keychain multi, but well worth the price, and I don't know of a perfect keychain multi that's available yet!

Can't wait to get mine!

This will be only my second Multi.  The Spirit is the only one I own.

I think some type of SOG is in order next.....

I would agree.  I would rather have a strong scissor than a weak plier on a tool this size.  Otherwise, I like the tool options.

The lanyard is excellent though.  wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more.

Glad you liked it.  I figure it's not the best little tool out there, but well worth the $15.  Any more than that, well....
