Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 01471 Suspension Butterfly Opening Multi-Plier with Sheath
Customer Review: Good Fire Dept Tool
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product as the Fire Chief of my local department to give to my officers and a thank you gift during our annual banquet. I have already heard from them that tool was usefull and easy to use and made a nice/pratical giftCustomer Review: Good Quality and Cheap Multi-Tool, But The Scissor, Blades and Saw Are Short
Summary: 4 Stars
I read nearly all the reviews and watched the videos on youtube about Gerber Suspension before my purchase.
Pliers are made in Taiwan, other stuff are made in China (says on the box).
It is a good quality product and it was around 24 USD when I purchased them. So value for money ratio is very very high for these.
Every tool locks in its place when you open them. This is a great feature. You have to hold down 2 buttons on each side of the same shaft to close the tools (so there are 4 buttons or lock switches).
Blades are very very sharp. Althoug the scissor is very small, it is sharp and can handle small jobs.
Now the downside. The length of the blades, scissor and saw is very short. I knew this before my purchase but I have to warn anyone who needs long saw, scissor and blades should look to another, longer product. All these tools will work for me because I will use this tool for daily life and for camping. So It will be ok for me to live with it.
Its size is not too big, not too heavy and it is a short multi tool.
Looks great, any of your friends will be getting curious and want to try it.
Pliers are in good quality and I really like the suspension mechanism.
Package also includes a good quality carrying case.
I am giving 4 stars because of the general looks, quality and value for money factor. Othervise it is 3 stars for me...
Customer Review: Good first multi-tool
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very good tool for the small-budget hobbyist.
Besides the small, fragile scissors and the lanyard clip taking up spots, the misc. tool features were well done. Mine was assembled a bit cock-eyed so wire-cutters sorta work. I wish the pliers were a little springier. Cosmetically this knife looks good; functionally it leaves a lot to be desired.
The knife-lock doesn't work or operate as advertised. They built the release of the rotating catch backwards so it is very easy for enough force to cause the knife to collapse.
If you're buying one of these as a present for a teen or relative in good standing, consider spending a little more for something safer and better thought out, like a skeletool. If you're buying this for yourself and don't expect much, this is a very good buy.
Customer Review: Good idea, awful quality
Summary: 1 Stars
Ended up returning 3 due to flimsy spring locks, what they call the 'safe t plus' or something. When the lanyard hole is locked out, the other components don't lock at all or even if they do, they wobble pretty badly. I don't know if I was just unlucky, but 3 out of 3 is enough for me to say 'awful quality'.Customer Review: Good looking product and a good price.
Summary: 5 Stars
Just bought this a few days ago. I was looking for a decent priced solid multi tool. Despite what some other reviewers said, it was delivered and looks fantastic. Its clean, no defects that I was able to notice. Everything works including the scissors. An A+ multi tool for 26 dollars, and its gerber, can't complain about that. I recommend this if your price range is about 30 dollars.
