I'm not saying don't buy them like; I keep a Clutch in my coat pocket. Just that I wouldn't pay more than about $10 for one

The Gerber Mini tools are actually very good. I am one of the few that prefers the Shortcut over the Micra infact.

I wouldn't go that far. But they are a big improvement on the cheapy no name jobs found in bargain buckets by the checkouts of DIY stores.

Well I would and have, so take that Bee man!

I got one of those twin packs of Amazon.co.uk a while back for £16 I think it was.

No match for the Micra, but not bad though.

Move aside a second Dave, your post is now blocking my mature rebuke.....

Hey Ben!

Take ya sloppy scissors elsewhere chump...

A possible scenario:

Step 1 introduce new Clutch and Shortcut keychain tools to compete with Leatherman Squirt line.

Step 2 A few years later, design even more cheaply built keychain tools. Discontinue Clutch and Shortcut, introduce Vise and Splice.

Step 3 A year or so later, suddenly realize you still have leftover Clutch and Shortcut parts laying around. Rebadge tools as "Mini Suspensions", package in a combo 2-pack, sell on Amazon.com

Sound about right?

Yep

Such an obvious choice for a rebadge as well, what with the Suspension being a byword for quality MTs

OK, so not here it's not, but out in the big world it's probably Gerber's best know multi, so I can see why they'd use the name.

For what it's worth, our Walmart in Central Virginia had the Mini-Suspension scissor/plier combo pack in the store for $17.97. I bought it. Will either replace the Leatherman Squirt S4 that is my EDC or my Micra? No way. It's a cruder set of tools. That said, they're not bad for $9 each. It's a nice backup for the glove or tackle box.
