Gerber Gear Crucial EDC Multitool Pocket Knife with Clip and Strap Cutter for Camping and Survival, Black

Gerber Crucial, the ultimate pocket carry multi-tool.

Works as intended the screw driver works great for looser screws can’t get a perfect grip on them but it’s better than expected, knife isn’t perfect but it’s definitly sharp enough for normal use and quite thick, the strap cutter is perfect for cutting strings and zip ties, the flat head can open cans of paint and be used as a good pry bar, and the pliers are good enough for small things but don’t expect it to pull out nails and it’s good pocket size nice and thin and not too heavy. Been using daily for a while and it definitly does the job it’s meant to. The only thing that could be a problem is the pliers aren’t the sturdiest they can twist if squeezed too hard but that’s not really what these are for.

I bought the black Crucial as a direct replacement for the gray version which was recently lost/ stolen. I had the gray version since 2010 which was purchased from Amazon. I never had any problems with the gray one. It always did nearly every small task I needed it to do, and if I needed it to do more I would get a different tool. It does exactly what it's intended for and is named perfectly as it has only the "crucial" tools. It's lightweight, comfortable to carry and reasonably well built, unlike some other Gerber products that I've encountered. I carry it almost every day and find it perfect for those simple, on the fly tasks such as cutting cords or boxes, adjusting a screw or grabbing something with the pliers. The only difference I've found between the black and gray version is that the black has a strap cutter in place of the carabiner/ bottle opener which I never used for either task anyway. I could see the strap cutter actually coming in handy someday as an emergency seat belt cutter. The only criticism I have of either version is the knife blade and the screw drivers. I would prefer a knife with a pointed tip rather than the rounded edge. It still slices and cuts fine but a pointed tip would make for a slightly more functional blade, as well as serving as an emergency self defense weapon. The screw driver blades could be a little bit longer as well. I suppose if they made these three changes, the whole frame might have to be a little bit longer but that's ok. An extra 1/4" or even 1/2" wouldn't bother me. All in all, I'd recommend this tool to anyone looking for a light duty piece to escape the burden of carrying an overloaded heavy duty multi-tool.

This is an all-around great tool. Very well made. To my surprise there are liner locks for each of the tool options it contains. In spite of that, it is reasonably compact and ergonomic. My only complaint is that the grip fit surface has what feels like an almost painted satin finish and is surprisingly slippery. In fact the surface of every tool provides better traction to the hand. It is not a tool that I've been want to have to manipulate if my hands were even a little wet or slippery. If Gerber updates this tool with a better grip surface they will have an excellent product.

Read many reviews. Some real angry or just bad opinion. Just recieved mine and its great. hefty for a mid size multi tool. Sharp,sharp blade. few drops of blood. The whole tool is tight and works well. Not a full heavy duty tool. But a wonderful EDC and can handle many projects, didn't want a big and heavy tool with me all the time just one that can handle day to day and camping. No regrets. Quality is very good. Pliers are just that, pliers. They work. Screwdrivers are adequate. Philips is a little small but where that can't do it, the flat head will. The strap cutter is all that and more. Read thru the lines in reviews. The Crucial is what is is and not more. It has the essential tools for daily carry. It wont build a boat but its not for that. Very happy with purchase.

I'm a Gerber gear junkie; I have a Mossy Oak multi tool, had a Leatherman, and tried various no-brand multi tools over the years. They all had something to offer and served me well, but my go-to multi tool is Gerber. I probably didn't need this one, but I really liked the ergonomic design and strap-cutter feature in this. In my line of work, carrying a multi tool is essential and they've saved the day more than once. The Gerber Crucial lives up to its namesake in that you have 4 essential tools in a convenient carry package: knife with serrated edge, cross head and flat head driver, and strap cutter. You never know when you're going to have to slice away a strap, seat belt, or other piece of material and having this is another piece of Gerber security. I also love the pocket clip; I carry this tool on left pants pocket and Gerber parablade on my right. Also on my keychain is the Gerber Dime which also has its own unique features, so on any given duty day, I have 4 Gerber pieces on me and I have peace of mind knowing I'll always have the right tools on me when needed. Thanks again, Gerber Gear!

Made in China and feels like it. The design is great, but it just has that cheap feel. The knife blade seems like about the quality of a $1 kitchen knife from Wal-Mart: grind marks, blatant burr on edge, edge folds right over, tried to use a steel to remove burr, and so much material just ground off like I was using a file on it. Does ride well in pocket, though. Sure it's fine for regular light duty work.

All the tools you need. None of the tools you never use. Fits in your pocket like a pocket knife. Blade is nice and sturdy. Wish the belt clip held on tighter. Not sure how i feel about the blunted knife tip, but I’m not stabbing things so it does its job. The phillips bit is flat. I’m guessing this is to keep the unit slim. I wish it were a regular phillips bit, but i like how slim and compact this tool is, so I’ll deal with it.

Il prodotto è bello...nn l'ho potuto testare a fondo ma sembra resistente e ben fatto...diciamo pure rapporto qualità / prezzo ottimo!

Pince multifonction qui répond a mes attentes et à sa description. Toutefois la lame a deux types crantée et lisse n'est pas vraiment utilisable car trop courte pour cette présentation. Pour cette longueur un seul type lisse ou cranté aurait été plus adapté. La pince est très fine ce qui en fait un bon outil pour un travail de finesse. La qualité semble plus que correcte avoir à l'usage.

Ein super gebräuchliches Multitool für das EDC. Angenehm und praktisch in der Anwendung, jeder der Moped fährt versteht die Notwendigkeit von Bordwerkzeug, dieses kleine Multitool ergänzt dieses prima. Durch den Gürtelclip sitzt es fest in der Hosentasche. Für gröbere Arbeiten, wie dicken Draht durchzuknipsen benötigt man allerdings dann schon ein schwereres Tool. Ich nutze dieses Tool täglich und wenn es gebraucht wird, greife ich auf das Leatherman Supertool 300 zurück.

ナイフを出したときの違和感のない かっこよさがお気に入りです、まるでナイフにプライヤーなどが付いたツールのようです。 写真はDIMEとのサイズ比較です。

Excelente ferramenta com design moderno e prático
