Don't expect great pliers
I really wanted this to be my everyday carry. I love how it fits in a pocket. Most of the tools were really good. The package blade was weird for most things, but worked great for plastic blister packs. The regular blade didn't come with a good edge, but seemed to hold it well after sharpening. I was excited for the pliers, but they're really more like big tweezers. The second or third time I used them to really grab onto something, the body of the tool bent. After closing, it won't even open up again. Unfortunately, I'll be returning this.
Little tool, Big Results
I bought this tool as an add on for my keychain. Now it is a standby in my daypack, car and at home. It is a very useful tool for smaller jobs not requiring a lot of muscle or heavy duty use. It seems perfect for a lot of smaller jobs that requires more finesse. I am impressed with the overall workmanship and quality. It has limitations (what tool doesn't) but it is more handy than you might think. It is worth every cent to me and is light, doesn't take up any room and is right on for all the tools it comes with. It compares favorably with a size larger leatherman that was heavier and not as convenient to carry. I love it...!!!
Made of soft bendy metal
The flat screwdriver twisted the first (only) time I used it. The springs for the pliers bent under normal use. I sent it back for warranty replacement, had to pay postage, and the replacement had the same problems.
Great lightweight convenience multitool
Got this as a gift and I love it. It is small enough and light enough that I can carry it all the time and I use it almost daily. I have researched compact multi tools, and you will not find anything better. Looking at some of the complaints, know that this is a convenience tool - Not meant to replace a full size multitool, but something that you are more likely to carry all the time. If you expect this tool to do everything on a camping trip, this is not the tool for you. If you are on the go, and you suddenly need a pliers, scissors, knife, etc, this is perfect.
Best keychain tool
I’ve had my blue dime on my truck keys for probably 10 years. Sometimes I fidget with it opening and closing the bottle opener side. 10 years of fidgeting has caused the pliers and lock to wear out. Probably my fault I don’t know how many thousands of times I’ve opened and closed just the one side. The other side is perfectly good still. Wish I could still get blue. I’ll probably buy a green one and swap on the scales from my old one.
Great little tool!
So this little guy is awesome. I carry the Dime in my backpack because I like the option to have a small assortment of tools with me for an emergency situation and the Dime is a ultralight option that works for me. The blade came sharp but did touch it up with a diamond rod. The box cutter/package opener is nice and very sharp. The phillips driver is for ultralight duty only, lol. The flat driver can handle a little more torque. The scissors are nice and work well. The tweezers were a nice touch, and come in handy from time to time. The pliers actually have surprised me with what your able to do with them. Cutters work well too!
Overwhelming Favorite
I've owned quite a few 'pocket multi-tools' over the years (thank you TSA:)) and this has very quickly become my overwhelming favorite. The Gerber Dime is truly 'pocket-sized.' this is huge for me as I work a white-collar position and wear slacks daily. Although smaller, it does not relinquish usefulness. Let's face it, no tool at this size, is going to be as good as a specific-use tool; however, the Dime doesn't include a tool that isn't useful. Quality is excellent, hinges are strong.
A Dime in my pocket
The Gerber Dime is everyday use, around the city, in the office and even when I'm on the trails. It fits easily in my pocket and its light enough with my keys without it having to drag my pants/shorts down. I would have given it five stars if there was a can opener. That would make the Dime multi-tool great.
Expensive junk
Overpriced. The spring used to lock the knife in place when cutting bent while cutting a cardboard box, so the blade moves as you try cutting with it. The scissors are not sharp, and the finger pad doesn't provide the leverage to cut through regular printing paper.

Maintenance
A handy little tool, I have the black version. Objections, useless file / phillips screwdriver, tweezers are unnecessary and poorly performed compared to the SAK tweezers. Tools are difficult to open, and the black color tends to be losing from the ordinary carrying in pocket. The good side, I got it pretty cheap on the action, the blade is sharp, tool to open the package is a great thing same as a beer opener. Pliers are in general tweezers, top connects perfectly and replaces tweezers, but not for the more difficult tasks. Every day is with me in my pocket, and it is no load like a true multi tool type Swisstoll ... But in end dime is a toy...
