Gerber Gear Suspension-NXT 15-in-1 EDC Multi tool with Pocket Knife, Needle Nose Pliers and Wire Stripper Tools, Gifts for Men, Survival and Camping Gear, Stainless Steel

I own a few Leatherman multi's and Gerbers too. Each has their purpose. I like this one in particular as my EDC for when I need a little of everything but not heavily. When I need someone more like a heavy workhorse, then I grab my Leatherman supertool 300. Many will claim this Gerber Suspension NXT is not solid. It is. It is just not meant for torquing down on the pliers with a death grip like you can with a Leatherman. But it will certainly do its job for daily obstacles in life. The Scissors are awesome. The file is short but more affective than many comparable multitools in this pricepoint. The awl is more wide but still useful and strong. Blister packs are a breeze to open with this EDC. The pliers are great for standard use of assembly or disassembly of hardware. The Philips driver is very handy. The fact that everything locks is a huge plus. The ruler is short but still very useful if you are crafty in making it work for longer measurements. The can't complain about the weight. It's ideal for an EDC but the compromise in weight is why it is not as stout as a high end leatherman. It's nothing to due with quality but all to do with staying in a pricepoint for a more lighter everyday useful multitool.If this set let's you down, then you are a candidate for a heavy duty, more expensive, multitool. Oterhwise, the Suspension NXT is a clear winner in my pocket and respective wallet.

Impressed with the Gerber Gear Suspension-NXT 15-in-1 EDC Multi-tool! I've had my fair share of multi-tools, but this one stands out from the rest. The build quality is exceptional, with a rugged, ergonomic design that feels solid in the hand. The stainless steel construction is durable and resistant to corrosion, ensuring that this tool will withstand the rigors of regular use. The 15 functions are thoughtfully designed and well-implemented, including pliers, wire cutters, scissors, knife, saw, and more. The pocket knife is particularly useful, with a sharp, sturdy blade that's perfect for everyday tasks. The tool's suspension system allows for smooth deployment of each function, making it a joy to use.

I had a Craftsman brand multi-tool knife that I loved, but it was time for an upgrade. Leatherman tools are a bit out of my price range, so I went with this Gerber version. Obviously, it's not super-high-end, but it more than gets the job done. It has all the tools I need, plus a few new ones I didn't have previously. It's relatively lightweight, ergonomic, and seemingly well made. The locking mechanism is a nice touch that not every multi-tool includes. Overall, I have no complaints. I'm confident that it'll last a long time under normal use. Zero complaints.

I picked up the Gerber Gear Suspension-NXT EDC Multitool because I wanted a reliable, compact multitool to carry for camping, small repairs, and general everyday use. Overall, I think it’s a good tool for the price, but it does have a couple of drawbacks worth mentioning.Performance:For the most part, all the tools work well. The needle nose pliers have come in handy many times and the wire stripper does a decent job for quick fixes. The knife blade is sharp enough for light cutting tasks and the screwdrivers are fine for small household jobs.Build Quality:While it gets the job done, the multitool feels a bit flimsy compared to some heavier-duty multitools I’ve used in the past. If you’re planning to use it for light-duty tasks or emergencies, it’s fine — but I wouldn’t trust it for very demanding jobs.Ergonomics:One thing that could be improved is the comfort and grip. Some of the edges feel a bit sharp when you’re squeezing the pliers tightly, and overall it could be more ergonomic for extended use.Portability:It’s slim, lightweight, and clips easily onto a pocket or bag, which makes it really convenient to carry. For EDC or as a backup tool, it’s very handy to have around.Overall:If you want an affordable multitool for everyday situations, camping trips, or to keep in a glove box, this is a solid choice. Just keep in mind that it’s best suited for lighter tasks — and a more robust model might be better if you need something heavy-duty and more comfortable to use for longer periods.Pros:✅ Good selection of tools for daily tasks✅ Compact and lightweight for easy carrying✅ Decent performance for light workCons:❌ Feels a bit flimsy under heavy use❌ Could be more ergonomic and comfortable to holdFinal Verdict:4 stars — good value for a casual multitool, but I’d love to see a sturdier build and better comfort in future versions.
