Gerber Gear Armbar Drive EDC Multitool 8-in-1 Pocket Knife with Pocket Screwdriver, 2.5" Blade, Orange

Even better than I expected. Excellent knife, scissors, and screwdriver. Perfect size, compact and light, but you still get a good sized blade and scissors and big enough to be useful. Probably one of the most practical multitools out there for everyday life.

I love the size of this. If doesn't take a lot of room in my pocket. The tools are really useful for my everyday needs. All I ever need on a given day is something to cut open a box with or to tighten or loosen a screw on something. This has a pair of scissors that I haven't really used, yet. Just because the knife does all the cutting I need, but if I need to be a little more neat like cutting out a pattern of something, the scissors may come in handy. It also, has a little "hammer" for light hammering, that I haven't put to the test, yet. That hammer flips out so you can use it as a pry tool or bottle cap opener. Pretty unique feature on a Multitool. I carry this everyday, and hardly know it is my pocket until I need it. Some complain that there is no pocket clip included. I really don't mind it. I liked to keep it concealed so people aren't freaked out that I have a knife on my person.

The Good: the sheepsfoot blade shape is a great utility design with one-handed opening that can accomplish a lot of daily tasks, the 1/4 driver is GREAT (I've also used some of the Leatherman 2D bits in it for versatility), and the pry bar/cap lifter/"hammer" has been surprisingly useful. The Okay: even after months of use, the scissors and the awl are challenging to deploy; it is difficult to get your finger into the notch to open it and the mechanism is stiff. The Bad: these are the worst multitool scissors I have ever used; the tips of the scissors don't close over each other for tiny, precise cuts and every time I push down on it, it slides under the spring and I have to manually pull it back up; the scissors on my Leatherman Wave are a much better option. Overall: this is a great daily carry multitool with a lot of versatility. The blade and screwdriver are fantastic and easy to use. The scissors leave a lot to be desired and are the only reason this isn't a five star review.

This is my husband's preferred multitool for well over a year now. He has several but this is his every day carry. It's not overly bulky but also feels quality. I often end up stealing it to open things. Great stocking stuffer which is what I originally bought it as.

This is a very good casual EDC for the money. I usually am a Victorinox and Leatherman guy but wanted to try this out as it offered several upgrades over my “casual” edc which is usually a Victorinox Compact. The main blade locks and it has a full size bit driver. I wouldn’t lean on the driver too much because it does not lock and to be honest the spring is very weak. However it is still very useful once you figure out that you have to hold it by the pivot or it will close on you. The lockup on the main blade works great on my unit. I don’t think it would fail on me unless I was gripping it in such a way that I would inadvertently disengage the lock. The scissors open in a peculiar way compared to the tools I’m used to but they work great. The spring is fine. For just bumming around town this tool is great. It’s not all that much heavier than my Swiss Army knives and the added benefit of the locking blade and the bit driver outweighs the additional weight. One common gripe about this tool is the lack of a clip or lanyard hole. Right now I’m rocking a suspension clip in between the frame and the main blade and it is definitely not perfect but I am making it work. Once I get a split ring that will fit it should be good to go but right now the clip slightly interferes with the main blade deployment and retraction. To sum it up, if the driver locked and it had a lanyard ring (maybe instead of the awl) it would be a home run for me.

The EDC community seems to abhor this thing, which makes me laugh. The blade is sharp out of the box. The toolset is broad and versitile for the small size of this thing. It wont weight you down. The lockup is solid with no play. All the tools can be opened and used with one hand. I'll admit, the scissors arent the best but they'll cut a straight line in fabric and paper so they're perfectly serviceable. The lack of a pocket clip is noticable but at the very least there are easily accessible holes for mounting a pocket clip and pretty good compatible aftermarket clips are sold on amazon. Sure, the blade isn't some super steel, but it's easy enough to sharpen and is far from the worst steel out there. Now, I need to make it clear, I may have just gotten very lucky. I might be the outlier, getting an Armbar Drive with a solid lockup, tools that are neither too tight nor too loose, and decent scissors. But that is what I got, so based on my experience, this is the highest quality and most versatility you can get out of a multitool at this price. I have heard others complain about play in the blade and loose slip joints on the tools. I believe them, but I also believe this is a mass produced product and even with decent quality control you will see those issues. For me though, mine came with near perfect tolerances, it almost even has the opposite issue where the slip joints on the tools seem almost a little too tight for my liking. Either way, be warned, I'm sure the quality of these varies, but if you're lucky enough to get a good one you'll be very pleased with what you get

I like it so far

Considero que es una navaja super versátil y útil para la vida cotidiana. Tiene un buen numero de herramientas de buena calidad que cumplen su función adecuadamente. Comparando los usos es muy similar a la Victorinox super tinker pero sin el abrelatas, el gancho multi usos (que nade usa), mondadientes y pinzas finas. Sin embargo considero a la Gerber como una herramienta mas resistente y con una mejor disposición del punzón y desarmador de cruz en comparación con la Victorinox. Además que al presentar apertura a una mano y bloqueo de hoja la hace una herramienta mas útil. En general la considero una herramienta muy practica y totalmente recomendable, El único "defecto" que podría encontrarle es que después de un mes de uso se empezó a perder un poco el color ámbar de la cacha, pero eso también es debido a que comparte bolsillo con mis llaves. Además que al momento de martillar debe tener mucho cuidado si tiene manos grandes ya que la navaja es muy compacta y al abarcarla completamente con la mano podara generar un accidente.

Muito leve, compacto, não gostei muito da tesourinha, pouco inferior aos canivetes suíços. O bit de 1/4” é o grande diferencial. Gostei.

Cumple con su función lo malo que se despinta un poco por el uso

A lâmina veio extremamente afiada,e a tesoura boa também, recomendo

Excelente herramienta pequeña la puede cargar en el bolsillo tiene las herramientas esenciales del día a día muy bien Gerber
