About the Suspension Multi-Plier Multitool
This engineering masterpiece was inspired by the bridges of Portland, Oregon, with all the down-and-dirty performance characteristics users expect and require. This is a classic workhorse with spring-loaded pliers, the patented Saf.T.Plus component locking system, a ballistic nylon sheath, and the very same structural integrity that goes into every Gerber tool. More than just a sleek-looking son-of-gun, this tool has an open-frame configuration that's a real break though where the industry is concerned. But just because it's got pretty lines, there's no reason you can't use it in some ugly situations. Multitool Capabilities:
- Needlenose pliers
- Wire cutter
- Fine edge knife
- Serrated edge knife
- Saw
- Scissors
- Crosspoint screwdriver
- Small and medium flat blade screwdrivers
- Can opener
- Bottle opener
- Lanyard hole
Key Technical Specs:
- Length open: 6 inches
- Length closed: 3.5 inches
- Handle material: stainless steel
- Sheath material: ballistic nylon
Warranty:
Gerber Legendary Blades guarantees this product with a limited lifetime warranty. What's in the box:
Gerber Suspension Multi-Plier and nylon sheath. Gerber's History of Ingenuity
Savvy. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that contributed to Gerber's emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910, and one Christmas, he hired a local knife-maker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular, Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939. It makes sense, really. An idea man gets the idea of a lifetime and turns it into a major outdoor brand -- one that commands respect among knife-lovers and knife-makers alike. And now that same high regard is spreading in new directions, in the form of many outstanding products such as tools, personal L.E.D. lighting, and backpack hydration.

 convenient, but bulky August 7, 2008
i like this tool, but it's a little heavy, and bulky. there are a few tools that are excessive for this device, and i'm not sure how handy the tool bits are. the bits are magnetized, but the conversion bit that attaches to the tool itself does not stay on very well. i like that all of the fold out tools are locking, but the locking mechanism isn't very smooth.
i would like a little more slimmed down version of this, with a larger knife, and without the tools. i can't really complain that it has a lot of tools though, convenience is the main idea with tools like this. the price is excellent, so i can't bring myself to drop this below 4 stars.
very acceptable July 25, 2008
overall very pleased with this multitool. pliers are quite strong, knife blades stay sharp, fits my hand great. sheath is functional, but i dont think it will outlast the tool. some of the tools are a little hard to get out, but i do have large fingers. also, the saw is nearly worthless. if you need to rely on this saw you are in serious trouble.
 great compact tool May 10, 2008
I recently bought for a gift for my dad. He is always asking to borrow my gerber so thought that I would buy him his own. I like so many features on this one that I ended up buying one for myself as well. The spring needle nose was an excellent idea. On top of that the price is almost half what I bought my other gerber for. Plus the warranty is lifetime. Excellent multi use tool.
Better than I expected May 1, 2008
If you'd read any of my other reviews you'd know I give a 3 as normal and 4-5 are resevered for items that beat expectations. This is a 4. Works better than I expected. Just feels high quality!
Jack of all trades master of none April 8, 2008

I really like this tool. Especially for the price. It is roughly a third the price of a similar Leatherman. The quality is excellent and it has all the tools you would want in a multi-tool. The size is perfect and handle comfortable. Some people have said the scissors lack a little. My thought is you are using them to trim a thread or cut a bandage in an emergency. If you want to sew a suit, use a real pair of scissors. The same for the saw, sure it is alittle small, but it works in pinch with reasonable expectations. The only tool I slightly missed was a file. All in all, the tools all work excellent and overall the tool is great value if you remember it's "A jack of all trades and master of none"! To anybody that feels any of the tools are lacking, my reply would be, that you are asking too much of a multi-tool and you need to go get a full size of the tool you are disappointed in.
