.... wire cutters are for wire and not stainless steel rod.
Same here. Well, kind of the same. I do not have anything against Gerber, it's just the bashing that got to me. I have a Dime, two EABs, and a MP400. The plier on the 400 is so nice, I usually grab that one, rather than remove my Rebar from the pouch or go for a big tool.I passed by Bunnings on my way home today, and they finally brought Gerbers. I really liked the CenterDrive's size. I could see myself using it, and I do want a full size Gerber anyway.

Or has anybody done so.Part 1 got me really curious about the CD and went to look at some reviews over at youtube.A video by wealljuggleknives says that the serrated blade on the cd is not sharp as compared to a SAK, an MP600 (I think) and some LM tools (don't remember which model) and even shows this with a papercut test.On another video by someone else, the replaceable wire cutters shattered while trying to cut a stainless steel wire. The CD belonged to this guy's friend.Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkOne, cutting paper with a serrated blade is a silly test. Two, wire cutters are for wire and not stainless steel rod.

I did not see that coming. Excellent points made, this is hands down the best comparison I have ever read. I still like the CD better. The OHT is too wide, and the pliers are tiny. Isn't the plier head comparable to the Juice? I'd say, made the head larger, get rid of the hook so the blade is as long as it can be, get rid of a flathead or the can-opener and make the saw longer. Maybe add the Surge reamer, why not.Even the CD can be improved. Drop the serrated blade for a saw, and the file for a hacksaw holder, and put an actual reamer instead of that balloon buster. Why not have double sided bits too?As it is, I am warming up to the CD by the day.

my lack of a personal need for a can opener means that the Center-Drive gets this point,
I have a incoming center drive.
