Comments about Gerber FliK Multitool:

I had an earlier version of this tool which worked much better. The plier deployment setup on the newer version is too complicated, and seems to be adding quite a bit of weight to the tool. Not to mention is doesn't work as well as the older design. The worst part is that the pliers won't stay retracted, and always slide out when not in use.

Comments about Gerber FliK Multitool:

Even though there have been mixed reviews of this product, I've had nothing but good experiences with it. The pliers extend with a quick flick of the wrist and the blades and other tools lock firmly in place. I have not had a single lock-up or unwanted snag when deploying any of the tools, and I especially like how firmly the blades lock into place and will not slip until unlocked. Compared to the other similar products out there, especially from Leatherman, this tool is much more reasonably priced and more full-featured for the cost.

I would recommend this tool (and have) to anybody who needs a tool to simply keep around the house or to keep available on the next camping trip.

Comments about Gerber FliK Multitool:

After struggling with this thing I finally took it back. I've always trusted Gerber knives so had high hopes that this would be equal in quality. Wrong … Extending & retracting the pliers or opening this thing was extremely frustrating … only after whacking it a few times could I finally get it to open. Bad design for a what could be a great tool.
Another minor problem was the pliers, when sheathed & pointing down, would extend. Just another irritation.
A good thing is that finish and craftsmanship was excellent keeping with what I would expect from Gerber.

Comments about Gerber FliK Multitool:

Used it three times. The pliers stuck halfway in and would not retract or extend. The whole tool locked up and cannot be unlocked. This thing is over complicated and designed to fail.

All around tool

Comments about Gerber FliK Multitool:

Owned a previous version of this tool and my ability to keep track of it was its only fault.

I purchased this one to replace my old one as an everyday carry multi-tool. I find having one at all times is far too handy. I prefer the Gerber Flik to offerings from Leatherman because the pliers are dead simple to deploy. As something to carry everyday, I found that the Leatherman Wave was a bit too large to do so comfortably.

This updated version feels more solid than my previous one.

Pliers get stuck sometimes

Comments about Gerber FliK Multitool:

I have had two of these multi-tools and have experienced problems with both.If the tool is stored in the sheath with the pliers facing down, the pliers will slowly slip out of the locked position and be visible outside of the sheath. This is not normally and issue, but it can cause damage to gear if you don't notice that the pliers are exposed. The only way to resolve this issue was to store the tool with the pliers pointing up in the sheath.The other issue was that sometimes after using the pliers they would not unlock to be stowed back inside the tool. I had to repeatedly hit them on a piece of wood to get the release mechanism unstuck.The knife blades and other tools worked well, but the plier problems caused me to return this multi-tool.[...].I think I will stick with the Leatherman Wave.

Comments about Gerber FliK Multitool:

Gerber has done it again. I've owned a few Gerber tools and all have outlasted my ability to keep track of them. This one combines Gerber's famous one-handed opening pliers with one-handed-opening knife blades. I've only had it a few days, but it's solid, well-crafted, and on par with the fine workmanship of the other Gerber products I've owned.

The blades are easy to deploy, the right size, and well-designed. Not only would I recommend this to a friend, but I would recommend this tool to anyone. We should all have a tool like this so that we may "fend for ourselves."
