Gerber Dual-Force

So much more useful than regular multi-tools

Gerber Dual Force is still a new tool for me. The tool handles the small tasks that I usually have a multi tool with me for, and for the more challenging tasks. That's why I bought it. It seems to be reasonably robust. Steel and saw and steel file work fine for the smaller tasks. Centerdrive screwdriver is also a really good idea. Especially since you can use standard bits. So far it meets my needs. As with all multitools. They are limited. But Gerber Dual Force is a nice extra tool, just to have on hand, and much more powerful than other similar multitools/tools I have. So far so good.

The price-quality ratio is right. I immediately put it to use and it has worked well. I replaced the Gerber Multi-Plier 600 with this one and have been satisfied with the larger size of the Dual-Force. Instead of sharp tweezers, I've needed extra strength.

Very happy with this buy, works really good!

Quite solid, quite functional, good quality... Anyway, the only thing I don't like is the way the pliers close going into the handle, it's not so quick and simple as in other Gerber models, so a left only 4 stars.... Anyway for the price it's a good multitool.

It seems like a working tool, there are enough tools, i.e. the essential ones, the file is just a little unlucky, but it's good for a little tinkering. A big plus is the screwdriver's changeable tip feature. In terms of sturdiness, I think it will last.

Good: -Strong and durable pliers, the transfer jaw feature is really functional and necessary for personal use - The chisel is well thought out and significantly more ergonomic to use than e.g. Leatherman equivalents Bad: -In general, a cheaper and sloppier feeling than in more expensive brands - The geometry of the pliers leaves much to be desired. The joint point is too far away from the gripping part of the jaws, which means that the pliers do not have a proper compression force - The file is honestly bad and almost unusable. Too smooth in texture - The saw is also a miracle of smooth and soft iron, the teeth already broke when sawing dry pine. I did a test cut with a Leatherman and this one on the same tree, no problem with the pipe saw and this one made me sweat. No further. - The knife is not great but usable, not much to say one way or the other In summary, we could say that the idea in this tool is incomparably good, but the cheap implementation and bad materials spoil the whole. It's a shame in itself, you could pay much more for this if it was done properly. I weighed for a long time between the Leatherman Surge and this one, and I think I'll still get the Surge. However, I leave this for work, where 90% of the time the use is pliers or a chisel. They work just fine here.

Great thing! Searched for a long time, almost nowhere to get it, I am very happy with it and use it in my work!

just as it should.... strong and easy to use

One of the turbine overhaul installers was involved in the experiment, and maybe even exceeded expectations. The pliers work well, and these really hold at least another 36mm stem really nicely, handy when the nut is just tight enough that it can't be turned by hand, but you can't bring yourself to get the key for some reason. A screwdriver also works well, as long as you remember that it will not withstand any kind of twisting. Also a plus for holding two extra tips, at first they seemed a little toy-like, but they work well. The knife has nothing to complain about either, and at least in your own hand it opens and closes with just one hand when it gets a bit weathered. The most used feature in my case is the chisel blade, which works excellently for cleaning various flat surfaces of sealant residues, etc. It also works as a light pry bar when necessary, so you don't have to break the screwdriver. The chisel blade does wear out, but a little touch with a file and a whetstone makes it like new again. The only minus comes from the file, which has almost no blade. I have doubted whether I got a Monday piece, because the toothing of the file on both sides is so shallow that it doesn't file anything. It's a bit big and heavy, which in my opinion is a good thing, the smaller ones are easily lost when you don't feel the weight on the belt, but you can feel its presence or lack of it. From the first contact, the thoughts were that this will last, the previous cheaper model from the same manufacturer did not withstand work use, but in this case, the matter seems brighter. It seems to sensitize and patina very nicely, but without loosening. It came with a really great belt holster, which, to my pleasant surprise, had a small additional pocket that could hold a few other things that normally go around in the bottom of the pocket. If the file was better, I would give the full five stars, but I will give them anyway because I suspect a manufacturing defect in mine. A game that feels really great, and the first multi-tool that I can seriously justify hanging on my belt at work.
