Gerber 22-41506 Clutch Mini Pliers Keychain Tool - Special Ops Gray-Clam |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: Great tool to keep in your pocket while working outside
Comments: Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R27N14V5WMRCR2 The Mini-Clutch is a useful tool to keep in your pocket while doing odd jobs. It is small and relatively light (Although I would NOT want it on my keychain) and can be useful for odd jobs. Small jobs like putting up Christmas lights to hanging a bird feeder - you will find that the Mini-Clutch will come in handy.
Things that I like -
- Seems to be high quality - I have used it for over a year.
- Pliers are a little on the small side, however they are still useful - especially for cutting wire
- The blade is a little soft, however it is relatively sharp and it has lived up to my expectations.
Final tally - While the Mini-Clutch is not as useful as a full sized Leatherman - however it is significan notly small and less expensive.
5 Stars. |

Summary: Handy little tool
Comments: I got this tool as a gift from my wishlist. I had previously always been a Leatherman owner however wanted to try out a Gerber. I have to say I am impressed with the little tool. I find it to be solidly built and like the way the blades and pliers "clunk" when pulled out for use. It is a nice size for carrying in a pocket and not too heavy. (Although I do agree with the other reviewer who said it might be too big for a car key ring as it would bang about when used with a key in a car ignition)
Overall I expect this to prove to be a handy tool for many years to come. |

Summary: Compact and great as a daily carry-around tool
Comments: When folded, this item isn't much bigger than a box of matches. For daily use it's been really great for me and it has come in handy on several occasions. This is not meant for heavy duty work, so do not purchase it with the expectation that it will perform anything more than light, daily tasks. This is well machined and has proven to be durable. The blade sharpens well. I put a large strain on the pliers the other day while pulling heavy duty staples from packaging, however the tool held up quite well. Considering that the pliers are the distinguishing feature of this tool, I am really pleased with their durability and usefulness. I also have used the screwdrivers and tweezers several times without any trouble.
Pros: Tiny and easy to pocket. Well machined and durable for such a tiny size. Useful set of tools makes it a valuable daily pocket item. Excellent price for the quality.
Cons: A little heavy; probably not great as a keychain. Phillips screwdriver appears a little thin on the cross-axis, however so far it's worked well. |

Summary: Pliers broke after 5 uses - bottle open is poor
Comments: I am unimpressed with the strength and quality. The lockout on the pliers broke the 1st time I needed to apply some moderate grip strength. Now I can fail the pliers by squeezing my finger. The bottle opener is poor. I often ended up using the pliers to open bottles. After 4 weeks, its in the trash. |

Summary: Just doesn't cut it...
Comments: The pliers are OK, however the blades are hard to use, and not useful. |
