5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Gerber Multi-Plier Addition, January 25, 2009

By	J. Williamson "JargonTalk" (Bucks County, PA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

You can add to the versatility of many Gerber Multi-Plier models with the addition of this Gerber 22-49445 Tool Kit. There are many excellent tool and blades that come built into these multi-tools, but if you're looking to expand the functionality of these products, then this is a reasonably priced way to do it.

I have a Gerber Suspension Multi-Plier, which is used on an almost daily basis. Sometimes it's just not convenient to go running for a tool kit when doing those 'quick-and-dirty' jobs, and this tool kit looked like a great convenience, so I bought it. The single-ended bits that came with it were:

* Three flat bits, marked #3, #5, #7
* Three Phillips (crosshead) bits, P1, P2, P3
* Three hex bits, 3mm, 4mm, 6mm

The heart of this tool kit is the magnetic bit adapter, which slips easily onto the multi-pliers' extended Phillips (crosshead) screwdriver blade. Once this is done, it holds the bits easily. The adapter and the bits are stored inside an included black molded flexible holder, and a black ballistic cloth nylon sheath with a belt loop comes with it. See the customer image that I posted here to see it all in action.

The adapter accepts any standard single-ended 1/4'' hex bit on the market, be it slotted, Phillips, square, Torx or hex. For example, I had a need for a Torx Driver Tamper Proof Security Bits Set for use with certain computer and general applications. They worked quite well with the magnetic adapter, and there's enough room to to store this and other bit sets in the tool kit's nylon sheath.

According to the manufacturer, this Multi-Plier Tool Kit fits the Gerber Flik, Freehand, Diesel, Radius, Method, Tread, Crus and Suspension multi-tools. If it has one of those flat crosshead blades, as do these, it should work. There may be other Gerber models that will work with this handy kit, but if you have one of those, it might be best to check the directions that came with the product. There's a different 10-Piece Tool Kit available for Gerber's MP400, MP600, MP650, MP700, MP800, but I have no experience with it. I personally wouldn't use these with a model that didn't have a locking crosshead blade, if just for safety reasons. One thing for sure is that there will not work with the Gerber Clutch Mini Pliers... it's just too small.

This Gerber Tool Kit is a great idea, one that allows you to extend your tool usage immensely by adding any 1/4" single-ended bit to your multi-pliers. It's an excellent solution if you're looking to maximize the performance of your Gerber Multi-Plier, while still maintaining a high level of versatility.

Highly recommended for those with such a need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great price. Nice tools., February 22, 2009

By	J. Lewis - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Toolkit is relatively small. Fits on back of my belt. Can sit in car, carts without problem. There is a little wiggle when the adapter/add-on tool is slid over the slim Phillips in the Gerber Diesel multi-plier but someone with a Leatherman product exclaimed that the fit and feel was great as compared to his add-on toolkit.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful tool, October 12, 2009

The Gerber multi tool, and for that matter multi-tools in general, are great tools to carry around. I am always fixing things instead of having to wait for someone else to come and fix it. Its almost like having a toolkit on your belt.
