You can also do as I did, get a MP600 Pro Scout, blunt it with a Dremel and you'll have great cutters, excellent flipping action tool,
 strong and really solid plier head, excellent saw blade exchanger and an extremely nice pair of scissors



tough as nails, I wouldn't worry about hammering with it, the MP600s are known for their AK-47 like reliability. Not a OHO blade, but very sharp and quick enough for most tasks.

How do you find the Gerber Diesel?
I really like mine, but I have done some mods to it. I also have MP600 and a CenterDrive and the MP600 blunt nose (noncarbide cutters). The MP600 is almost bomb proof. The Diesel is a good tool, just not as durable in my opinion.
BUCK: X-Tract, 360
GERBER: Clutch, Shortcut, Dime*, DimE*, Octane & Crucial FAST
MP600 NN, CentreDrive, Grappler
Diesel*, Nickle*, Bullrush, MP600 BN, Flik & MP600DET* all in BO
LEATHERMAN: Skeletool, Style PS, CS, ES* & Style*, Juice S2(X2), SC2, C2, Pro, XE6
Crunch, MTO Style CS, Sideclip, BO Kick*
SOG: PowerAccess, Blacktip*, HD PPP
