If I was being really padantic, I'd have a moan about the shortness of the screwdriver's, and the lack of saw edge on the file, plus the general fit and finish isn't as good as say leatherman, so obviously it falls miles short of a vic or wenger effort, but for all that it is a sound, comfortable tool :)

That's odd as Spoons had the saw edge ???

The screwdrivers are short, but look the same as my Multiplier which I have found to be ok.

The Two-sided file is a bit of a let down. I rarely use the edge for cutting with my PST, but I like to know it is there.

It does look a little "knock off"-ey, but then, I get people asking if my PST is "real" since some think the 2004 models are the Genuine leatherman range.

The lack of saw file, is annoying, but it's the only real fault I can find :)

I think gerber has a huge range of individual differences in there earlier tool's, wether it's by design or someone falling asleep at the cnc machine I can't say :D

That's just starting to get annoying!

- Can we get some other MPT shots for comparison? (saves my lazy butt from looking for other threads)

You do get the impresion that gerber just tried to make a ''product improved PST'' bbut then built it down to a price.

@30$ I think. I found some new ones for 27.95$ but I'm not sure if they are priced accordingly to the time it was released.

micky, does your file say "SIMONDS USA" on it?


The file is among the thickest I've seen on a multi so I'm not sure how well the saw would work, but it is nice having it there.


Also, it looks like your model is lacking the "speedbumps" seen here. Is the opening/closing cycle smooth like a typical butterfly tool?





Which one is the newer production?

It seems odd that they would take away features like the Bumps and Saw edge, unless the Government was lowering their $$$ offer for the tools.

Yep the file is made by simmonds, but mine hasn't got the speed bump's, as for how quickly it open's well it's still pretty tight, but I expect it'll loosen up soon :)

I'd say your's was the newer, better version, as I'd imagine they'd add feature's rather than take them away :-\

Worth noting, the older Gerber Multi-Pliers we have are equipped with files that are stamped "Simonds," a highly respected old-line American file manufacturer.

Seems to be the case that my model is newer, I wonder what Bob has to say on the matter.
