All I heard was you need a cybertool lite.
I use the Fit every day at work. I am a computer tech and I also use it to find things under desks, tables, etc. The blade is like you say, not too sharp, but it does the job for me. I also like the fact the flashlight is bright and uses AAA cells. I cannot stand button cells. I have two multitools that use button cells and both came with them dead. To make matters worse, they put ones in there that no store stocks. The only issue I have had with it is the driver bit that came with it keeps falling out, and one day I will lose it! A standard bit will fit, but the one that comes with it has a ball bearing in it to keep it one place, not a magnet, so any other will not stay in. I actually use a sheath for it that came with one of my flashlights, so I keep it on my belt.

Yea, I know you're not supposed to. But I went to both IBM and Compaq server schools many years ago and both of them give you a tool kit when you start and both tool kits had magnetized screwdrivers in them. Someone in the class said something about that and the Compaq instructor said something like "You'll ruin far more equipment and cost the company far more time and money by dropping screws into servers than you ever will with a magnetized screwdriver. Since then I've always used them and never had a problem, and that's been a long time.
I took the Fit with me on several small jobs I had this morning and I'm getting used to coming in at an angle with the driver bit to keep the light on a screw head.But after holding my Arc AAA light and Cybertool 34 up next to it I just fail to see why Gerber felt this tool had to be so large and not contain pliers. Had they made the flashlight body aluminum instead of plastic, which has to be thicker to be as strong, put the switch on the end instead of on the side and made the driver tool the same size as the one on the Cybertool, they could have made the Fit 10mm - 15mm shorter and added a small plier without making it any fatter. That and a clip on it and it would be perfect. Maybe the Fit 2.0? I got the Fit for $23 off Amazon brand new. I'd gladly pay $50 for a Fit with the improvements I mentioned. Even with all the other Gerber imperfections.

The only others I am aware of are cheapies, and they use those $#@! button cells!
