Amazon.com Product Description

The Gerber Multi-Plier 600 Basic Fisherman with Sheath includes everything you need when out on the water in a pocket-sized package. Included in the tool are extra-long plier jaws with long gripping teeth, needle-nose pliers with small gripping teeth and precision-gripping flat tip, three sizes of fishing-line-splicing band crimpers, a bottle opener, a medium slot-head screwdriver combination tool, a carbide fish hook sharpening tool, a split-ring and slit-shot spreading wedge, a carbide double-cut file, a drop-point blade, a #2 Phillips screwdriver, and a retractable lanyard to ensure dropping the tool doesn't send it to the bottom of the lake. The multi-plier also features a one-handed plier opening for ease of use. No handle rotation or gyrations are necessary to open the multi-plier -- just a flick of the wrist slides the plier jaws into the locked and ready position. The locking system is safe and easy to use with components locking up against a solid bar of steel, rather than a spring. The multi-plier comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars One tool that does it all, December 31, 2002

For fisherman, this is a great multi-tool that does almost everything you need except tie on your tackle. The best feature is the ability to open the pliers with one hand. That comes in very handy when you have a rod or a fish in the other hand. The wire cutters went through fireline very well, and the scissors handle every other type of line. The file and knife blade came out easily and locked into place so you don't have the issue of it folding back on it's self. Not to mention it's a very sharp blade! The only down side was using the split ring spreader was a little awkward it's pretty far back on the tool. One piece of advice, USE THE LANYARD. My first one of these is at the bottom of a lake.

I was an Aerovac Medic for the US Air Force. I carried my Gerber with me as basic equipment. You don't have to peal open this tool, like a Leatherman. All you have to do is place it between your thumb and fore finger, flick your wrist, the pliars thrust out, and lock into place. It's great for one handed use. I used it many emergency situations. Great for cutting parachute cord, fixing medical equipment, cutting bandages, and eating MRE's. Fantastic Multi-use tool.

The quality and design oriented toward the purpose of use during fishing is impeccable. Other Multi-tools may be good but this couldn't be any better. I fish all the time and this tool will be going with me. I have no aspect of this tool that I am not in approval of and I particularly like that the carbide/cobalt cutters can be replaced.
