My Gerber Multiplier
on: March 12, 2012, 08:41:58 PM
Took out some of my "old tools" today for a foto-shoot, here are some pics from my first (and only) Gerber, bought somewhere in the late '90s.  It was the second multitool I bought, after my original Supertool in '94. 














One thing I immediately fell in love with (again ...) was the sound of the sliding pliers ...



It's one of those great sounds, like the snap on a SAK, or the sound of a Ferrari F430 race car going round a racetrack ... (I'm a nerd, I know ...   ;)).
