Gear 07530N Needle Nose Pliers Multitool MP600 Multi-Plier, Stainless

Smooth and Easy to open and close. Nice case and nice carry position.

I bought the original design of this tool decades ago when it first came out. Great tool, with one flaw back then. It did not hold up well cutting steel wire. Well that was 30+ years ago. I bought a new one, and was just suprised and delighted to see Gerber made a great classic BETTER. Carbide cutting inserts, for cutting steel wire ! ( like fencing wire, coat hangars etc ) On top of that, the carbide inserts are 3 sided, so if worn, just loosed with included tool, and rotate the insert to a fresh blade. I am a retired Master Mechanic, now in Landscaping. I have wanted another blunt pliar Gerber for 20-something years, and voila ! Gerber EXCEEDED expectations ! I seldom rave in Reviews unless excellence is found. Here you go ! If you need a handy belt multi tool, buy the BEST, get a Gerber ! Buy This Tool ! Great tool, built to give service for a lifetime. ( Ladies: buy your man this ! )

This has been my EDC multi-tool for almost a year, and it's still like new. I haven't been gentle and it's held up well. I used the needle nose pliers last night to pry open the sliding glass window in the back window of my old pickup truck. Given the direction and magnitude of the torque applied to the plier hinge, this was really abuse rather than use, but good tools like this are overbuilt and use quality materials and heat treating, so they can take some occasional abuse. I love the assortment of tools on board. Gerber seemed to know how I'd use this multi-tool. I carry a full sized knife that's easier to access, so I almost never use the knife on the Gerber Multi-Plier, but a multi-tool needs a knife and this is a good blade that's well designed. It's small enough to be discrete, large enough to be genuinely useful, and the smooth and serrated areas seem ideal for a multitude of different uses. The replaceable jig saw blade is genius! I love that I can carry lightweight, inexpensive, and readily available blades optimized for cutting wood, soft metals and harder metals. The abrasive grit blade that is supplied is the best of all worlds. It may not be optimal for the materials I just mentioned, but it will cut almost ANYTHING, including glass or ceramic tile. I also love the way the Phillips screwdriver bit accepts the included adapter that can use any 1/4" hex drive bit. That opens this tool up to using all sorts of tool bits. You can carry an assortment of security bits and McGyver your way into all sorts of tamper proof electronics. Or you can get a 1/4" square drive adapter and carry a selection of small sockets. The small set of bits that ships with the Pro Scout is a good selection for everyday needs and tucks next to the multi-tool in my tactical pants' small cell phone pocket that wasn't used since I switched to a ginormous tablet phone. I'm usually a SOG guy, but Gerber nailed this one.

I've been a big fan of the MP600's platform, and this model is no exception to my feelings. Liking that although is marketed as a needle-nose, it is not as thin/"pointed" as the regular (non removable, casted in cutter) head kind of an in-between blunt and needle nose heads. Having read about the "exploding" cutters, I've found that I can use the cutters to "notch in" the hard wire and then bend with the pliers to cut it; has work really well for at least my last 25 cuts (garden work; bicycle jobs). One feature I like of the design versus Leatherman's, is that if the cutters "chew and bend" a wire, I'm still able to pull apart the handles and free the wire ( with my Waves, Revs, and PSTII I'll need a tool to separate the pliers jaws as the handle would buckle; and yes, plural!). There are still a great variety of u shank for the exchanger, and I carry a couple within the tool's sheath mostly for metal and wood, with varying lengths. The scissors have been great also, and are relatively comfortable to use. And, since I complemented it with the Leatherman Removable Bit Driver Kit (fits perfectly) and my homemade awl bit, I have the perfect set to tackle any errands at work (both are no-knife-policy environments: school based, and outpatient clinic; I'm an occupational therapist). A very solid tool! 2-month review After two months of almost daily use, I've managed to chip one of the cutters; as I tried to remove a finishing nail, the pliers twisted and closed, and the distal end of the cutters (the one closer to the bolt/nut jaws) hit each other with the aforementioned result. Still a 5-star for the tool, as it works as it should. Ordered a replacement cutters set, as I can only guess when the chipped cutter will finally breaks. Hope someone would sell replacement cutters out of tool steel or even stainless steel like the Leatherman's, which would still work even if nicked and easily fixed to working condition with a file ( not to mention that it'll be three-sided!).

I had a Gerber multi tool before until my tools were stolen so I purchase a new one and it's better than the other one I had. So I would recommend it to anyone.

Bought as a replacement for a Leatherman PST2 this ticks all the boxes for toughness and all round utility. It comes with a well made holder and was sharp straight from the box. The only issue I have with it is that like most other large multi tools it may fall foul of the UKs locking knife laws if carried in public places.

J'ai eu le même il y longtemps et toujours satisfait

La GEBER M-P 600 BLUNTNOSE de acero inoxidable es una fantástica multiherramienta. Sus alicates son fácilmente desplegables con una sola mano y cuenta con cortadores de alambre de carburo de tungsteno reemplazables, si se desafilan o se deforman, simplemente se giran 120 grados y se coloca uno nuevo, permitiendo tres rotaciones. Estas puntas de alicate son muy robustas y trabajar con ellas es igual que hacerlo con unos alicates normales. Para usar las demás herramientas hay que desplegar primero los alicates y luego plegarlos de nuevo. Pero una vez seleccionada la herramienta concreta, ésta queda bloqueada gracias a un potente y robusto muelle. Los atornilladores son algo cortos, pero nos sacarán de más de un apuro cuando no dispongamos de unos. Cuenta con una funda para colgar del cinturón, es de nylon de color negro, abre y cierra con un velcro, no parece de mucha calidad y me da la sensación que de se deteriorará pronto. En resumen, la Multi norteamericana es de muy buena calidad de construcción y durará mucho tiempo, siempre que la utilicemos de forma adecuada.

Bought for husband as he had lost his. Same one as he had lost but black, he is delighted and he has found the one he lost. He says he could not do without it as it is such a strong little tool to have. Brilliant.
