Gerber 08251 Urban Legend - Multi-Plier 700

by Gerber

Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Balancing compact size with full function performance, the Gerber Urban Legend Multi-Plier 700 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. It also features independent tool rotation, allowing access to components you want without other tools following it out. Other highlights include superior wire cutters, and a secure ergonomic grip. The Urban Legend's replaceable tungsten carbide wire cutter inserts are much harder than any stainless steel, and feature the ability to cut through #2 hard carbon steel fishhooks, 1/16-inch piano wire, and 278-pound stainless steel offshore fishing leader. In the event of damage, the triangular cutter inserts can be rotated to a new edge with a Torx head wrench. Other tools featured in the multi-plier include a knife blade, scissors, Phillips-head screwdriver, small, medium, and large flat head screwdrivers, bottle opener, and tweezers. The multi-plier comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

I received this tool for a Christmas present. It is my second Gerber. The other one works fine, but it lacked the locking tool feature. The locking tools work wonderfully, easy open, lock, and close. I use this tool everyday at work, and I mean everyday. It grips well and is very light. The tools are arranged well, and it is very sturdy. The pliers grip well and the cutter works flawlessly. I highly recommend this item to anyone that needs a multitool.

This is a basic multi tool designed for people who need wire cutters. The screwdrivers are adequate, but do not have the greatest bevel. The black plastic in the handles will come off eventually. Also this tool (and the larger Legend 800) do not have a can opener. I own one of these and it is in the bottom of my tackle box....at least I think it's still there.

Purchased this tool for about 3 yrs ago. Also picked up the accessory Tool Kit with this which gives you a little more functionality.

Have used indoors and out with no problems. Its been dropped, kicked, etc. and has always worked fine. Have used the screw driver both for normal use as well as to pry things up and haven't had any breakage issues.

Re design ... Gerber multi tools have all the 'tools' fold out from the outside. This means when you open it up to use the pliers you have a flat surface against your hand when you grip it. To me this makes the Gerber tool more comfortable to use v. other other tools (eg, Leatherman) have the opposite approach.
