after having been handled by the post office?


You sound defensive  ::) :D




But you're right, and this is why I generally stay away from online video reviews, they're up there with amazon "it arrived, looks cool, would recommend this knife to anti-terrorism squads and archaeologist-adventurers. 10/10" as far as usefulness goes.

Not at all- I have the feeling that I have completely failed as a mailman, and I have seen first hand how everything is handled.  I'm not saying it is handled poorly, but it is a big chain, and things happen.  Especially when it's a square cardboard box in a bubble wrap envelope.

The reviewer was upset that he broke the carbide inserts on the Center Drive when he attempted to cut a stainless steel rod.   I would never try that with a multitool and use a Dremel tool with cutting wheel or a bolt cutter instead.

I am sooooo tempted to buy. But the pry bar is a deal breaker for me as well as the Gerber QC. The hinge or pivot point would seem to be a weak point for a product marketed as a tough tool. I think I would have pulled the trigger if they instead had a slot for their Shard that you can pull out as a separate tool. That would in turn give them the freedom to add other functions to the main tool.

Something like that....

used in machining hard steels and the like, but any sharp knocks and it chips (or cracks) and is useless after that.


They're in fashion with multis at the moment, but the debate as to whether they are the best option rages on.

   I guess it is lower priced then other multis with better steel, but it is still maybe 20 to 20 dollars too high for me. I think I like my MP1 better than this tool, and I paid about 70-80 dollars for that. I will still get one at some point, but will wait for a deal!

The "WeAllJuggleKnives" dude sounds seriously bored. Also, I'll never understand the damn sharpness tests. I can sharpen a butter knife to hair-popping sharp if I want to. The serrated blade was the most used tool at my previous job and it did a fantastic job with cutting up cardboard boxes, plastic straps, cable ties and other things. And it is super easy to sharpen, even with a Spydie Sharpmaker. And after a days use, it just takes a swipe or two to get full sharpness back again. He just had to find something to whine about.

Peculiarity of Amazon pricing...

Gerber Center Drive kit - https://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Center-Drive-Multi-Tool-Sheath-30-001194/dp/B01LX91NIU

Release day (1 Nov):
$90.99 (List price shown on the same Web page $119.00)

Week later:
$99.99 (List price shown on the same Web page $119.00)

As of yesterday (24th Nov):
$106.87 (List price shown on the same Web page $132.00)  ::)   

The list is still $119, it's been like that from day one with other retailers including Gerber itself.

Must be pre-Black Friday craze that's got to them.  8)  The more you spend the more you save, right?   :)
EDC and OCD. A wicked mix.

Yeah, I mean... I really like the looks of this tool. It really passes the eye test and checks a lot of boxes for me, but... I will be waiting until those prices come down significantly. I saw a Leatherman OHT for $50 at Academy a month ago and I would have jumped all over that if I hadn't been making other big purchases around the same time. I'd rather have a $50 OHT than a $100 GCD.

Terminal trucks should maybe add some Octane on their Diesel to get the tool to you faster...

Learning moment - as a Fuels guy, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that adding octane to diesel fuel would cause the engine to perform poorly, if at all. Diesel is not rated by it's octane content since it is usually really, really low. Diesel is rated by it's cetane level, which is a reflection of how easy it is to ignite and how quickly it burns. Octane rating indicates the amount of compression the fuel can withstand before it ignites. Higher octane diesel would probably be unable to ignite in the average diesel engine because it would require too much compression. Creating enough compression to ignite it would probably cause so much pressure that you'd start seeing increased wear that could result in material failures inside the engine.

When it comes to engines and their fuels, you have to keep those hydrocarbons in BALANCE ;)
