      Comments about Gerber Clutch Multi-Tool:

      This is a great handy little mini-tool. It's so small it's easy to stash anywhere, you never have to worry about not having necessary tools around. The only negative is that because it's small, they aren't super strong tools and you can't get much force behind it. It's a great thing for the car glove box and when out on the trail to tinker on your camp stove.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Gerber Clutch Multi-Tool:

      I used the pliers as I would use any other pair and the metal in the handle bent gave and bent all the way through. It's handy but not as durable as I expected.

      Pros

      • Handy

      Cons

      • Gets loose
      • Little bulky

      Best Uses

        Comments about Gerber Clutch Multi-Tool:

        I have these on my work keys and they are okay. A little bulky for their purpose, and mine got loose quickly, but it always seems to have the right tool in an emergency.

        I like the leatherman squirt better.

        Small but useful

        Pros

        • keychain sized
        • Sharp Blade

        Cons

          Best Uses

          • Glovebox

          Comments about Gerber Clutch Multi-Tool:

          This is a good item to have on hand for just in case situations. Great for the unexpected, but not quite ready to do everything down the stretch. It's small enough to fit on a keychain though still a bit heavy there. Like the name implies, it's good in the clutch, but I'd be more comfortable with a bigger tool in situations where I'd expect to need tools to begin with.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Little tool for very little jobs

          Pros

          • Functional
          • Small
          • Variety Of Tools

          Cons

          • Bends
          • Poor Craftsmanship

          Best Uses

          • Tinkering

          Comments about Gerber Clutch Multi-Tool:

          While it has a lot of functionality that I found useful, especially in it's compact form, the tools are not up to Gerber snuff. Squeezing the pliers too hard bends these long arms that are supposed to react the load - and it doesn't require that much force. The knife blade just flops around now, too.
