Tool designs keep getting more and more complex with fancier options locking mechanisms, materials and so on, but the Gerber Prybrid shows us that simple designs shouldn't be overlooked!
Adding to the Keychain Gerber list is the Splice which features scissors, as opposed to its sister tool, the Vise which has pliers.
The Gerber Mini Suspension comes in two versions- the P (for pliers) and the S for the scissor based version.
Based on the Gerber Suspension, the Resolve is one of several different variants that were available.
Another entry in the "Didn't know or forgot about" file is the Curve from Gerber- perhaps the smallest tool you can get with locking functions!
You probably don't remember this one, but I was thrilled when I saw it for the first time at the SHOT Show in 2011.
Gerber's Flik multitool may have been short lived, but that is more likely due to its complicated design rather than it's popularity.
With the current issues plaguing pretty well the entire planet right now, it seems like as good a time as any for a serious project here at Multitool.org. With that in mind, we have decided to start up the Ultimate Multitool Timeline, which will be an amazing resource for anyone who wants to learn about Swiss Army Knives, Multitools, the companies that produce them, and any other related information.
We can’t deny it anymore- our world has changed.
The big question is, how has your EDC changed to go along with it? With many of us being largely housebound, do you need less options in your Every Day Carry, or, are you carrying more because now you finally have time to look at that Honey Do list that you have been avoiding since you didn’t have time before?
While Megan was covering the 2020 SHOT Show in Las Vegas she was able to get some video of new products at the Gerber booth to share with everyone.
What kind of people would write collect and review multitools? Quite simple really- we are designers and do-ers, outdoors types and indoor types, mechanics, doctors, problem solvers and problem makers. As such, we have, as a world spanning community, put every type, size and version of multitool, multifunction knife, pocket knife and all related products to every test we could manage in as many places and environments as there are.
