Gerber Suspension NXT Black

This multi-tool from Gerber is extremely well made and is certain to stand up to most tasks you could throw at it. The silver model I have comes with 15 tools and, I would say, three features (the packaging only claims two, those being a Pocket Clip and a Lanyard Hole). I would add the tool lock as a clear feature, as this helps make all the other tools work properly. The chunky feel is industrial in nature, with cut-out making it appear more like an aviation tool. This multi-tool is ideal for anyone who needs a good, cheap and reliable tool for EDC or for a gift.

Great item, really solid pliers - way better than my previous Swiss army penknife. I didn't find it stiff as some people have mentioned although taking some of the tools out is a bit more tricky as there aren't finger nail grooves to use. The locking/unlocking catch for tools once in use is good for peace of mind - I'm not worrying about the tool closing on my hadn't while in use!

Value for money

Decent enough quality for the price. It's a personal choice as to if you think it's an improvement over the original. I like the blade, pliers, scissors and can opener on this new one. But the blade buttons for one handed opening were way better on the original. I think the new one looks nicer, but the original is a bit more comfortable to use. I do miss the saw, but i do like having a file. If they had put a file on the original instead of the second blade I think that would have been perfect for my needs. Overall it's ok, but it's not up to Leatherman quality. I almost went for a Wingman but I hate having to open the pliers to access tools on the inside of the handles.

Gr8 value Gerber product bought on offer on Amazon with free delivery. This was highly discounted at time of purchase on Amazon and was significantly the cheapest across the Internet for this same product. Bought as a present for a friend, who reports they are very pleased with it, it appears well built, sturdy, is very practical and looks the part. Gerber could improve this product even more by providing a trouser/shorts pouch or sheaf for the Multitool within the pack, even if this was made of nylon with Velcro fastening etc. This wouldn't cost much on overheads, but would instantly make the product more attractive/desirable to buyers as well as making the item more practical to use and safely securing whilst not in use. Apart from no pouch being provided by Gerber, product recommended.

Great little tool

I used a broken leatherman for years and decided to buy something with a clip as I’ve stopped wearing a belt so can’t use the pouches that you normally get. This tool it solid and I’ve yet to break anything on it. The knife has blunted but that’s probably more my abuse. I had definitely broke a few parts of my leatherman in the same amount of time.

Actually for this ridiculously low price I just cannot fault my Gerber Suspension NXT. This is my backup tool and I have a suite of Leathermans each for particular jobs and places, but they retail over 100 GBP each. This Gerber is the emergency tool for the Car glove box. This Gerber feels great in the hand and has a lockable blades and all the tools I'd expect at this price point. Spring loaded pliers too. I really can't understand the severely negative reviews I've seen posted. This is a QUALITY constructed tool, easy to use, with a whole host of blades and tool ends. REALLY RECOMMENDED as *the* entry level multi tool.

Handy tool to have readily available at work.

Buon rapporto qualità/ prezzo. Finitura non al livello victorinox, ma per il lavoro è ottimo

Una excelente multiherramienta se siente fuerte y resistente con múltiples herramientas muy útiles, tiene un mecanismo que bloquea la herramienta abierta evitando que se cierre con su uso. Al principio es un poco dura para usar pero vale la pena por la calidad y dureza que se siente

Have used it already upon delivery,material is good and feels durable while in use.

Pros No need to open plier to access other tools. Spring mechanism is helpful when using the plier. Lightweight Built in clip makes it easy to carry in pocket. Cons: Handle easily mis-alligned after several use. no portable saw and file is short.
