Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 01471 Suspension Butterfly Opening Multi-Plier with Sheath
Customer Review: Fine, lightweight multitool
Summary: 5 Stars
I had an old, large, Gerber tool that ended up in the wastebin at a TSA checkpoint on the way home from a sailing vacation. The price of, well, nevermind. Amazon had this one and I'd given a few to nephews for Christmas (from REI) and had heard no complaints.
It is indeed lightweight and has a much simpler tool lock/unlock system than the old one. As many have commented, the knives are not very long and the Phillips driver is a bit abbreviated. However the knives do work and the screwdriver was adequate to adjust the gooseneck on an old sailboat mast. Even the silly-looking scissors do work for small tasks.
Customer Review: Full featured multi-tool
Summary: 4 Stars
I considered this to be a good bargain. I've been using it for work and taking it with me camping, ect. It has worked flawlessly every time. I've only had the blade release get stuck once but was able to get it out of the locked position. It is a little heavy, but you get a lot in a small package and it has a vey sturdy construction. The pliers are much more solid than on some of the others I've seen. Good multi tool for the price.Customer Review: GREAT SOLID MULTITOOL - A GOOD BARGAIN
Summary: 5 Stars
Fantastic tool--I bought it, figuring I was taking a chance, with the low price and positive reviews. As with other Gerbers, the best feature is the needle-nose pliers, but it is an all-around solid multitool with multiple capabilities. As others have said, the only major problem is that the Phillips head screwdriver is too narrow.
Buy it, and, especially if you've never owned a Gerber or a Leatherman (as I had not), you will likely be quite happy. It's a bargain at this price.

Customer Review: Gerber 01471 Suspension Butterfly Opening Multi-Plier, with Sheath
Summary: 5 Stars
So far, this has proven to be a good solid tool. The selling point for me was the fact that you can open each of the blades without first opening the pliers - this is one of the few quality multi-tools that is built this way. The handle is more ergonomic than many comparable tools, and at this price it just couldn't be beat.Gerber 01471 Suspension Butterfly Opening Multi-Plier, with Sheath
