Gerber GDC line

[enki_ck]

Just noticed someone posted this on our FB page.

Looks interesting. I can see it as a neat zipper pull.



 The Zip Driver, the Zip Hex, Zip Light and the  Zip Blade.


Here's a quote from GearJunkie.

They cost $12 a pop. A small loop of cord and a quick-release buckle make them work as zipper pulls on a backpack, or perhaps as a keychain.

The Gerber Daily Carry line, “GDC” for short, comes to market next month. The four tiny tools listed below, each with unique functionality, will ship to stores with the first GDC run. In all, the models include the Zip Blade, the Zip Driver, the Zip Hex, and the Zip Light

We got a couple of the Gerber tools in the GearJunkie office to try. The tools are small in the hand. For common tasks — slicing open a box, tightening a seatpost bolt on a bike — they come in handy.
Made of aluminum and steel, each one weighs 1 ounce or less. They are 1.5 to 2 inches long. The little knife on the Zip Blade swings open on a pivot. It locks in place for careful work with a stubby blade.

The Zip Light model has an L.E.D. flashlight on the end. It’s bright enough to read by or, in a pinch, even hike at night on an easy trail. But don’t expect the GDC products to replace your regular multitool or Swiss Army Knife. They are not meant for wilderness tasks. As take-anywhere tools, however, the Gerber line is a fun and useful addition to the expanding category of “everyday carry” equipment.

I'd like to see the LED integrated across the whole line, not just the bottle opener version. Then it could replace the fauxtons I usually use as zipper pulls.

Good, more for me.  I'll probably get them all.  I like them, plus a lot of my work stuff has enough zippers I could wear all of them on the same jacket!
