Looks like a winner. Hopefully the build quality will be there. 2018 looks to be an exciting year for MTs so far!
Thanks for posting!

That looks vastly better than the old suspension tool! It looks a lot less chunky and I like the generous pocket clip. I had a feeling this tool was due for a refresh when eveytime I've gone to Home Depot in the past month the suspension has been out of stock. That Gerber Truss has a really good tool load out, it has 5 "long" tools: scissors, file, saw, blade AND serrated blade. AND a pretty long Philips driver. Impressive.

Looks good!  :cheers:
Not sure about having both a PE blade and a combo blade, but we'll see.

definitely an upgrade from the old Suspension. Good to see Gerber getting into pocket clip MTs, and giving a decent Phillips  :tu:

The one with the pocket clip is the Suspension NXT I believe.

Thanks again for the pics.  :tu:
Both look intriguing. I had been looking for a nice butterfly Gerber, looks like the Truss is just fine. All long tools, though not a three-sided file and not fully serrated blade, but you also get an awl, and a square phillips, which I hope the adapters fit on. I like it.

 :hatsoff: to Gerber for taking the time to make and release new models.

Its great to get an inside look into how Gerber designs their MTs, makes you really appreciate what they do even more.

Does Gerber have 2 different products with the same name?

Just a reminder that the Mutlitool.org Store is an authorized Gerber dealer too, and that I would be happy to supply members all over the world with any Gerber products they should need/want.   :pok:

I haven't gotten any info on them yet, but as soon as SHOT is over I will be in contact with Gerber to find out when we can get them as well as pricing.  For obvious reasons the folks at these companies aren't the best at returning emails during the show.

it wouldn't be the first time. They did the same thing with their Tread (not to be confused for the Leatherman bracelet of the same name), with both a knife & a multitool with rubber overlays and a tire theme. The Truss tool looks to take some design inspiration from the knife.

I assume both tools have the right size Phillips to use the bit adapter.
Meh, I might as well get the new Suspension as well.

These look like really nice updates to the Suspension (a tool I never hated as much as many here).  If the quality is there, these price points are probably going to be the best deals on MTs around.  Looking forward to both.

I like the in the video how they call out the thick washers on the original suspension.  Always my biggest pet peeve with the tool.

     With all the new multitools coming out this year, the only one I am wanting to purchase is the suspension nxt.  That is if it gets a positive review from the experts here at MTO. :salute:
