Not all at once people... form a line please...
If you just keep it in a tackle box or as a back-up I'm sure it's got value for the money.When mine was dropped, a pin broke in half which I repaired myself with a tiny bolt.The second drop busted the piece that puts pressure on the pliers when opened. This meant that the pliers became unusable, knocking it out of action.Magentus now has it's saw in his MP600 Bottom line is that those parts aren't made of steel. It seems to me like they're made of cast metal. I'm sure that if it DIDN'T drop, it would still be going.Then again, I recently dropped my second hand Swisstool X (bought it as a replacement at half the price a new Suspension would cost me. It was also the same price of shipping the Suspension back to the main retailer for repairs)And guess what? The Swisstool survived... my floor tile didn't
My Suspension was the first Gerber my I ever had, and it's served me well for quite a few years now, The design has had it's issues, but I have no complaints about mine. Great thread Z!
Only an LED flashlight which uses the locking lever as an on/off button.
That Bear Grylls model never failed to crack me up name-wise. My idea of an Ultimate multi-tool is far from a gussied up Suspension.

who doesn't like black and orange but yes the Ultimate Multitool is a bit much,personaly i dont think it exists,well it does in a MTO members own mind [/quote true that! Will the ultimate mt ever exist?!
I joined recently. I don't usually buy Gerbers. This one was in a lot with a Paladin that I wanted. I am actually pleased with acquisition. It is a lot higher quality than I originally assumed.

A pretty good deal that u got there I would say!!
I have two Suspensions. One is probably 10-12 years old, and the other maybe a year. I bought the newer one because I read the design or the quality was different. There was no difference at all from what I could see. I picked it up for $20.00, and for that price it would be hard to find a multitool better than it. I do not understand where a lot of folks say it gets mainly bad reviews. It has about a 4.5 rating on Amazon, and pretty much 90% of reviews I have read on it elsewhere have been positive.
