Gerber Dual Force vis a vis Dual Nature
Gerber manufacturing dynamics have always intrigued me. Similar to SOG, I see strokes of genius, innovation, along with careless issues that make me shake my head. If Victorinox is the pinnacle, Leatherman consistently decent, reliable, I see Gerber as a mercurial force zig zagging between carelessness and true innovation. The Dual Force is a solid effort. It is well constructed, attractive, but God Forbid Gerber puts it all together... the carelessness shows. Nice robust tools that almost lock into place crisply, a file that rubs when returned to the closed position, a locking mechanism on the pliers that makes one have to use two hands and close one side first... These are easy things to design properly... Why Gerber? Did you take a page from SOG's manual on "tool clumping?" But alas, four stars are in order here! This pliers is nicely reinforced with the outer casing, the tools are robust, and the screwdriver is Gerber's trademark, full sized centerline... and YES! they let you Lock it! This is a full size multi tool that can be carried with a bit kit, extenders, sockets, and do the work of full size socket driver, driver, pliers and (with caveat) blade. The design is robust, and yes the metal on the pliers is softer so it grabs better... And they grab fairly well, at least as well as a standard pliers. I often wonder if I buy Gerber in anticipation of their little imperfections, and if they ever put it all together if it would be as interesting: The Arm Bar where perhaps the best drive of a small tool exists BUT fails to lock!! The nice square tool with exacto, file, blade, file and driver with the horrid oversized tabs... that cannot be opened properly... Alas the Center Force is a nice effort and IMO worth under $100 dollars... Think what it would cost to have a decent slip joint pliers, (decent, not great) a few nice screw drivers, and a few additional tools that are good in a pinch: (there are of course better knife blades, files, etc... And think of the price for the convenience of having those tools abbreviated into one unit and you will see how I perceive the value in dollars of this tool.
Excellent tool for the job
Excellent sturdy tool…I’ve used gerber multi tools for years and this one is the best by far …the tool selection in the handle is perfect…
Gerber Dual-force Multi tool
This is by far the worst 'Leatherman" tool I ever owned. It takes the full force of both hands to open. It doesn't have a bottle opener or can opener. I have approximately 20 other multi tools and any of them are superior to this. Stay away from this junk. You would be much happier with a Leatherman
Awesome
I only have 2 multi tools because I think they are stupid and bulky. But I really like this one!! Slip joint!! And a razor sharp blade( now that I sharpened it). I'm gonna carry it . I usually only carry an ESEE 3.
