Gerber Gear Center-Drive Multitool - Includes 3.25” Outboard Knife, Pliers, Pry Bar, Bottle Opener & Awl - Comes with Bit Set & Sheath - Made in USA - Silver & Black

TL;DR Gerber replaced my entire tool when I broke the Screwdriver Arm after 6+ years... I bought this tool when a coworker showed me theirs about 6 years ago, where it quickly replaced whatever Leatherman I had at the time. As a Theater Electrician, there's often times where I need quick access to a knife or pliers (wire strippers too) and even a Screwdriver, so having those 3-4 tools immediately accessible was perfect. The fact that all of those are also one handed access, comes in handy on ladders or lifts, and the standard bits are just a bonus! I've used the Center Drive for every load-in or load-out ever since, and can't even count the number of times it's saved me running for another hand tool, or even occasionally a power tool for smaller fixes. The screwdriver being centered, and easy to use, alone has caused me to grab this over regular tools, even if the grip isn't always as "ergonomic", I just know if I need a second tool, I won't need to go back or fumble for anything. I think my only minor gripe is with the belt holder, there's no pen slot for a sharpie or anything, but I had my old holder, and there's new 3rd party versions at a reasonable cost (just make sure you get the larger variety, Center Drive is slightly bulkier than your average multitool). Still worth every penny I paid for it. And to top it all off, after all these years, I managed to "misuse" slightly the screwdriver and in trying to pry a little, snapped the bolt that holds the driver arm on the tool. I took a picture, sent it to Gerber (as a Limited Lifetime Warranty claim) and hoped. If there was a way to remove the bolt, they probably could have just sent that one piece, so I wasn't sure what would happen... Got an email shortly after that my "Tool or Parts" had shipped... Well to my surprise, what arrived today was not only a brand new Center Drive, but the WHOLE PACKAGE (based on my reciept) with an extra holder (see above) AND a full replacement Bit Kit, which I still had! So now there's a backup! 5* for the tool, 4* for the belt holster but 10* for the customer service and warranty! Take that as you will!

This was a gift for my son who asked for a multi tool. He was very impressed and loved it right out of the box. High quality and great design.

I've loved gerber multi-tools since I was 18 in the Marine Corps. The early ones you flicked out just rocked. Comfortable and one-hand opening. I even had the ones for crimping blasting caps as I was a combat engineer. I still have one of those old gerbers and it still works just fine. I almost always get Gerber everything. Got Gerber knives, multi-tools, the little Shard keychain tool which I love because it is airplane friendly. Just good quality and the warranty is great. This tool is no exception. What a beast. I didn't expect it to be quite so big and beefy. I wasn't sure I'd really dig the driver. But I love it. Putting little 1/4" sockets on there is super handy. The prybar seems useless. But then, I always have the Gerber Shard tool on my keychain. The serrated knife is meh, would have rather seen the full outboard knife be half serrated. Replace the serrated knife and prybar with a remgrit blade and a pair of the nice spring-loaded scissors like on a couple of my other gerbers, and that would be more ideal. This one might not replace my everyday carry, the 800 legend. That's just still the most solid/useful multi-tool I've ever used. I've had it for quite a long time. But this one here just might, maybe. Depends on how well it holds up. All the pics of the knife blade breaking concerns me. That knife blade really needs a thumb stud for easier opening. We'll see how it holds up. It's Gerber, so of course I have high expectations. I don't plan on using the knife blade much anyway, as I always have a very good Gerber knife clipped in my pocket. None of my multi-tools have a knife as good as a real knife on them. For now though, a quite impressive tool. I'm a huge fan of that center drive bit. Best one I've seen on a multi-tool. Only one I've seen that actually seems quite useful and wouldn't have me throwing my hands up and going to get a normal 6-n-1 screwdriver.

Had the MP 600 in the army and still love it but have been caring a leatherman surge for the past couple years (found it more useful with the outside implements) this is definitely my new favorite multitool!!! Quick strong pliers and outside full size implements. BROVO Gerber 10 of 10

I had purchased this multitool in 2020 and It's been my every day use since. To give back ground on useage I am a field superintendent for light residential construction so I use it a ton for general home use applications. Here are the CONS since we all already know Gerber is great: the blade I wish was a harder steel but its functional and gets most jobs done. The wire snips are close to useless as they struggle to cut 18 gage wire but fortunately they are replaceable. The extra bit holder should have been magnetic as with use the cheap metal gets very loose and the bit ends up falling out. The other problem with the extra bit holder is that it blocks the pliers from completely being able to pinch down; you can see the scratches and wear from the opposing handle but, solvable by just opening it outwards. The prybar I bent its tip on the first use. The tool pouch; it's fair for the price but since it is cloth and elastic I wore it out in the first year. These are my only cons after 3 years of daily use. I could not pick a better multi tool. Trust me I'm still trying to.

Je cherchais un multifonction que j'avais déjà eu mais on me l'avait volé. J'ai cherché mes marques habituelles quand j'ai vu ce modèle qui m'a tout de suite pris à l'œil. Je l'ai acheté et je ne regrette rien. Il est solide, il a les accessoires dont j'ai besoin d'habitude car je l'ai toujours sur moi et la qualité est très bonne. Je recommande vivement.

This one from gerber is the first product I ever bought from Gerber and I love it. If you watch any review videos of this, the common criticisms for it is that the WIRE CUTTERS broke after cutting through some THIN STEEL RODS (nails) and that it doesn't have a scissor and saw along with a slightly rattling pliers. Not to mention the criticisms also involves around the file and serrated edge blade and centred axis screw driver that this tool has. Keep in mind I do currently own the Leatherman wave, sidekick, crunch, style cs and used to have the supertool 300 (gave it away to someone in the family). I know this is long so I will list out the pros and cons of the tool here. The read is for those who wish to know more from someone's experience. Pros: - one hand accessible tools for tools you most likely need - spring loaded pliers (in my opinion) - large durable knife blade - long reaching screw driver - common screwdriver bits are compatible with this one (unlike my Leatherman wave) - pointy awl - pry bar function - serrated blade (in my opinion) - includes a carry case and bit kit that you can customize to carry the bits you use Cons: - does not have as many features as you would get on Leatherman multi tools. - big and bulky although it's definitely okay to carry this everyday in my opinion (weigh aprox. 9 oz and may take up the entire width of length of your back pocket depending on the pants you wear for reference). - comes out a little stiff out of the box from my experience so you need to play around with it to break in o the mechanism. - pliers is not as precise as the full needle nose pliers from Leatherman multitools when it comes to small detailed tasks From my short experience using this tool for the past 3 days I love it. This multi may not have everything the Leatherman wave or surge or super tool 300 or OHT have, but it does have everything that a common regular person most likely need a few minutes later. Now for starters I am glad that this tool has no scissors. Why, because the spring on multitool scissors will eventually wear out you're stuck with a broken tool. My recommendation to remedy this is to buy the Leatherman style cs for superior set of scissors that only take up as much as much space as your next key on your keychain. Furthermore, adding a saw on this tool is useless because if you noticed the length of the serrated edge blade and the file and compare that length to what your saw will be; it will be useless since a saw that size can only process twigs that you can simply break or make do with your primary knife assuming that is what you actually do on a daily basis. Not to mention the fact that can openers don't exist on this tool is also a plus for me because of the mess you have to clean after using it after the huge amount of labour doing so. So if you really want can openers; get one from Victorinox (swiss army knife) as there are models that is more easy to operate cleanly and thin and compact or simply use the serrated edge blade to cut the can open. In addition who the hell actually need to cut hammer nails; just pull it out with the already included nail puller and save your wire cutters for the wires. Now for the pliers rattling slightly because of the mechanism for it to be one handed deployment pliers; you need the wiggle room for it to slide in and out flawlessly. However, it doesn't bother me because I simply wanted spring loaded pliers to get things done quickly and the one hand and one thumb deployment method make these pliers more reliable to quick and easy access. I am pretty confident that the pliers on this can handle many jobs just fine just don't try to break into a world size vault with it (same applies to any other multitools). The screwdriver functions is not a gimmick in my opinion because it works and I get the reach I need from it as well as the comfort of the centred axis (This change makes the difference in the future of my joints). And lastly the tools inside are not useless in my opinion. They just simply insure that you don't destroy your knife cutting through some pretty rough materials (rough serrated edge blade), poking holes through stuff (awl) and prying with it (pry bar/nail puller). In conclusion I believe this tool is worth the hype and that it has been proven to me in a very short time how invaluable it is in my day to day life and I hope that the viewpoints of those who use multitools for recreational outdoor use do not stop you from buying a multitool that we all assume it's for; getting the job done when our dedicated tools are not around or out of reach as It is indeed a mission for me to go to the basement or garage to get the tools already included in the Gerber Centre Drive. Just to be clear I did buy it with my own money out of curiosity and end up replacing my Leatherman sidekick that I now used to carry.

Molto bene. Abbastanza versatile e robusta. Non come la concorrenza ma altrettanto valida se la si usa con giudizio. Il cacciavite è il pezzo forte veramente ben fatto. Consigliata a tutti. Dopo un po' di utilizzo devo dire meglio la concorrenza

Really good quality multi tool.

Robustezza, completezza di dotazioni, qualità del materiale costruttivo fanno di questo strumento un riferimento assoluto. Il suo costo è ampiamente giustificato fin fal primo momento che lo si maneggia.
