Gerber Dime 12-in-1 Mini Multitool Pliers, Pocket Knife,Bottle Opener,Green

The Gerber Gear Dime 12‑in‑1 Mini EDC Multitool is a great little tool to keep on your keychain or in your pocket. It’s compact, lightweight, and gives you quick access to pliers, cutters, a small blade, and other essentials without taking up much space. For everyday tasks like opening packaging, tightening something small, or quick fixes, it’s surprisingly capable for its size. This is actually the second one I’ve bought — I forgot the first was on my keychain at the airport, and TSA took it. That alone shows how easy it is to carry without noticing it’s there. The build quality feels solid, the tools open smoothly, and it’s a great backup to have on you at all times. If you want a small multitool that’s easy to carry and genuinely useful, the Dime is a great choice.

This is a pocket-size multitool with good mix of just the right tools. Quality of the materials meets Gerber standards (I also own a Gerber Suspension which I think is the best of its kind). The only issue I have with the Gerber Dime is the assembly. The first one delivered to me, the knife wouldnt open unless it was pried open. I replaced that one, but on the second one the file would barely open. I used WD-40 and 3-in-1 oil on it with little effect. Maybe it just needs to be broken in. I'll keep it. The blade is sharp and the box cutter is even sharper, so far its the most useful thing on board. The spring loaded mini-pliers and mini-scissors are handy, just dont put too much strain on them. The bottle opener is so small it takes multiple trys to pry open a bottle cap. There are also tweezers to help with the ever-present cactus needles we have in Texas. Compared with other pocket-sized rigs, the Gerber Dime is better designed with better materials. If you can get one that was assembled right, you should be happy with it for a long time. Update: Seems like the 3-n-1 Oil I applied finally made it to the point of friction. All the tools open more easily now. I used a knife sharpener made for pocket knives on the blade, now I have an edge. It's a keeper! This handy little multitool is going to live in my pocket from now on. Recommended.

I've been using mine since July 2025. I love this multitool, although I do wish some things were a little better. I could never get used to the box cutter, so I always use the regular knife. I have also used the scissors a few times but they are a little weak. The plyers are useful but they are also a bit flimsy when applying a bit of pressure. I always forget that it has tweezers, it's so well hidden. The nail filer is a little too short but it gets the job done. The bottle opener works perfectly. I have not used almost any of the other tools so I can't speak to how well they work. I keep mine with my keys and it has come in handy over the year. I'd recommend this to anyone that wants to add it to their key chain, just for the convenience of having it in case you need it. It will get the job done but don't expect it to perform any miracles.

I carried a Leatherman Squirt for almost 20 years and used it almost every day. I returned it once on its lifetime warranty. I received a new one and a few years later the spring in the sissors broke. I thought what the heck I'll use the warranty again. This time they had discontinued the squirt. The sent me a new knife but it had sissors instead of pliers. This was a deal breaker. I looked around and found this Gerber dime and so far I like it better than the Leatherman. The box opener blade is awesome. I highly recommend buying this knife. I'm thinking about buying several for Christmas gifts.

This is a fantastic little multitool. It lives on my keychain in my pocket when I'm not traveling (flying) for work. It's amazing to me how often I find myself using it. Everything from the (extremely robust) bottle opener to the pliers to the scissors to the small knife blade - it truly is a great, small multitool.

I would have given it 2 stars, except for one redeeming quality (see below and pic) that made me decide to keep it (well, half of it). If Gerber sold only the half I kept, by itself, I'd give it 5! But it's kind of a funny story... Context: After always having a Swiss Army Knife as a kid, I then carried 6 or 8 different multi-tools over the years, mostly Leatherman (wave and juice) and an older version of a Gerber gear mp600 that I modified to add scissors from a broken SAK. I carried that on my belt for years (the sliding pliers are great, though the quality of other tools is mediocre). When I saw the Dime I was hopeful; I've mostly carried the Squirt PS4 for many years now, I like how compact it is and I've left all the others around (car, backpack, office drawer, bike bag) so they are handy but I don't have to fit them in my pocket (I'm tired of the belt sheaths!). I actually had the squirt replaced recently under warranty, after about 10 years a plier jaw broke off and they sent a brand new unit that's even a bit nicer than the old one. So when I got my new Dime, I was not disappointed by the things I was most interested in: the bottle opener is great (that is by far the worst tool on the squirt, it barely works); and I LOVE the package opener on the Dime, and the tweezers. I thought the other tools would be comparable, it's mostly the same list, but after using the Dime for a while I realized that most of its other tools are basically garbage. The pliers are cheaper and thinner, and the pivot has some side play; the wire cutter literally cannot cut, it can only mangle wires of various types (I tried! how can you not cut soft solid copper 14 Ga wire? repeatedly bending the wire back and forth is more effective than this thing!); and the scissors also mangle, rather than cut. The file is way too short to be useful. The knife blade and two screwdrivers are fine, but I already have those on the squirt. After two weeks of using the Dime, I decided to get the squirt back out, but I immediately missed the three things I like most on the Dime (package opener, bottle opener, and tweezers). Then I realized that these tools are all on the same side. So I got a torx set that had a small enough wrench (I already had one that fit, but needed two), and unscrewed the pivot where that side arm meets the pliers, and pulled out the pliers and the other side that is attached to them (see pic). Replaced the pin, and voila! I finally have a new tool I love. I guess it's a half a Dime, so it's a Nickel! The paint got pretty beat up in the process, and actually the first pivot screw head sheared off when I was trying to loosen it, so I had to pull the whole pivot out of the other side. Doing that and reassembling it was kind of arduous, and I can never put it back in original condition. (But why would I want to?). Now it's a narrow tool that I can hang it on the same Nite-ize hook on my belt loop with the squirt, without too much bulk or tool redundancy (carrying both full tools took too much space, and felt stupid). The only thing the two now have in common is the regular knife blade, but the two blades are pretty different designs, so I will save the Nickel blade for careful/sharp tasks and use the squirt blade for more sturdy work - the squirt also has a sharper tip that doubles as an awl. And both knife edges will stay sharp and clean for a long time, because now I have that package opener, which really is amazing; I use that more than anything else! So thanks, Gerber, I guess... despite the disappointment, I now have something I'm really happy with... after a bunch of extra work, and throwing half the tool away.... :( At least it wasn't expensive. But I can't give it more than 2 stars, as a tool, when so much if it is such poor quality. I have to wonder about all the 5 star reviews, these must be people who don't really use tools much, or have very low expectations ... ?

I lost my leatherman squirt after 8 years of having it on my keychain so I'm very familiar with that multi-tool. If the Squirt was still available I would have bought another but I had to find a substitute. It's important to know that I'm not just one of those EDC guys who just uses an overpriced knife to open boxes. I'm an electrician who uses tools in industrial and residential settings so even thought I take care of my tools they go through hard use. I've also had knives and multi-tools since I was a kid. So far the gerber dime is almost a replica of the squirt and it looks cool. That's good. However, I will list the negatives here. 1. It comes with two package openers. A "package opener" and a knife which is also a package opener. If you don't know how to open packages with a knife without cutting too deep you should learn how to use a knife properly. 2. The pivots are tight which means it will not open as easy as a leatherman tool. The machining is not as high quality. The blade does not come as sharp as a leatherman. The steel is listed as stainless steel which means that it is not as high quality as a leatherman. 3. The package opener is located in a way that you might try to push against it with your thumb to complete the opening which for someone without calloused hands could result in injury so watch out. 4. The file is shorter than the Squirt's file. This means you can't push the file back and forth much as it is maybe a half inch long. I used to use the Squirt's file alot to ream conduits and smooth edges of metal. This file is also located on the end of the Dime that is nearest the keyring so it's just not in a good place. They probably should have just left it out. With that being said everything else is almost like the Squirt so I will be giving this 5 stars until something goes wrong because the Squirt is no longer available. Maybe if Gerber sells enough Dimes Leatherman will realize there is a market for this category of tool and start to produce keychain multi-tools again.

Great accessory to have on your vest for fishing streams. It can be a little small and hard to flip the the different knives, clippers, and mini-pliers, etc. if you have developed arthritis in your older age, like me. But still great. I picked up one for my son - also for fishing.

E' già il secondo che acquisto. Ad un prezzo irrisorio, un multiuso veramente comodo in dimensioni ridottissime. Certo non lo consiglierei ad un fabbro, ma per portarselo in tasca tutti i giorni è perfetto.

Good

Zu meiner Person. Ich bin eine Frau mit kleinen Händen und nicht handwerklich tätig. Eher im Outdoorbereich unterwegs oder Alltagsarbeiten. Ich war etwas hin- und hergerissen aufgrund des Preises und der nicht ganz so guten Kritiken. Härteeinsatz habe ich noch nicht hinter mir. Die Messerklinge musste ich nachschleifen. Aber einfach vom emotionalen Bauchgefühl her: Ich mag das Ding einfach! Ich habe es gern in der Hand und gucke es gerne an. Es fühlt sich wertig und robust an ohne klobig und zu schwer zu sein. Wieder zurück zum Rationalen: Es ist ein leichtes EDC für zwischendurch. Der Paketschneider ist ordentlich scharf und erfüllt super seinen Zweck. Auch wenn ich selten Flaschen öffne, finde ich die super, den Flaschenöffner sofort benutzen zu können ohne vorher irgendetwas mit den Fingernägeln aufklappen zu müssen. Die Kanten bleiben nirgendwo hängen und stören auch nicht. Es ist klein, handlich und leicht und fällt somit kaum ins Gewicht beim Packen. Die Optik und Haptik gefällt mir super. Die Größe ist ideal für die Hosentasche. Die außergewöhnliche Messerklingenform finde ich mal besonders. Die Feile ist denke ich Mist. Aber um die ging es mir beim Kauf nicht. Besser als nix und man darf den Schraubendreher nicht vergessen, der im Notfall sicher praktisch ist. Die Schere war schärfer als nach den Kritiken erwartet. Ich würde es wieder kaufen.... Irgendwie entwickelt es sich zum Lieblingsstück. Man will es dabei haben und benutzen. Allerdings waren 30 EUR im Verhältnis zu anderen Multi-Tools kein Schnapper. Paket- und verkäuferseitig alles prima.

good quality tool. small size, but has good functionality. 8yr old loves it. wait for sale to get it at or under $30 (seen it as low as $26) but be warned to avoid 3rd part sellers who may list it cheaper.

Extremamente útil e compacto
