Gerber Grappler is silly and cool
on: June 26, 2018, 05:45:08 AM
After losing an auction in December, for a used/rust spotted/no sheath Grappler, I was very disappointed. I know not winning an auction for an MT isn't serious, but I have wanted a Grappler since I began collecting MTs. It is one of the "crazy Gerbers" I wanted really badly. :ahhh
This one was $45 less expensive and NIB.

Nice pics GLBM! I feel exactly the same way as you did. To me, it's a really clumsy and weirdly engineered tool. Tools aside, the tip of the pliers have no teeth.. And theres so little material around the bolt gripping area, I wonder if anyone snapped them before..  :think: I wouldn't be surprise.. Nevertheless, great tool to collect. Usability?  :facepalm:

Thank you, Sam! :cheers:
The pliers don't open wide enough to take on tough stuff. :rofl:
The complex mechanism that adjusts the pliers seems to be the Achilles heel. It really doesn't inspire confidence like the LM crunch. But, wow, this is a great collection piece. Not many still exist, because of how poorly received it was. A fine example of a great and original design that went WAY off-rail at the engineer's department. When you turn the tool-end upright to use the blades and tools, the plied head comes out from only gravity. :facepalm:

 :rofl: that, I didn't notice... Probably because its been standing upright on my shelf from the very first day I got it. Yes. Great collection piece!

.... I have wanted a Grappler since I began collecting MTs. It is one of the "crazy Gerbers" I wanted really badly. :ahhh

Good catch  :tu:

If your itch for "crazy Gerbers" still needs scratching, then check out the Gerber Recoil (if you don't already have one).
WARNING :  Do not ( I repeat - DO NOT) pocket carry one of these MTs unsheathed, it could be very painful and possibly even dangerous if it unleashes in your pocket

Other Gerber curiosities (possibly not quite "crazies") include:

Mantis
Nautilus
MultiLite (especially the snowboard version "Ride")
babola: "Enjoy your tools and don't be afraid to air your opinion and feelings here, but do it in courteous and respectable way toward others, of course."

 :rofl:
I have a Recoil and can definitely see how it would be dangerous. Way too much power behind the spring. I bet Chako still has nightmares about that.  :D

Some of the "crazy" Gerbers I have are:
Grappler
Freehand
Radius
Steady
Balance
Recoil
Maybe more, but I don't have my inventory with me right now.

I generally focus on plier-based MTs(nautilus and curve wouldn't interest me generally), but admittedly never heard of the Mantis and MultiLite. Will have to check them out. Thank you. :cheers:

The engineering is quite impressive once you ignore certain issues. Just a couple of things that could have made the Grappler excellent are, IMO, plier jaws open wider and pliers stay locked and/or fit snuggly into handles when using the implements.
I do see why you like it. Very interesting and very unique in the MT world. :cheers:
