   Impressed with the Gerber Gear Suspension-NXT 15-in-1 EDC Multi-tool! I’ve had my fair share of multi-tools, but this one stands out from the rest. The build quality is exceptional, with a rugged, ergonomic design that feels solid in the hand. The stainless steel construction is durable and resistant to corrosion, ensuring that this tool will withstand the rigors of regular use. The 15 functions are thoughtfully designed and well-implemented, including pliers, wire cutters, scissors, knife, saw, and more. The pocket knife is particularly useful, with a sharp, sturdy blade that’s perfect for everyday tasks. The tool’s suspension system allows for smooth deployment of each function, making it a joy to use.

   The original Gerber suspension I bought at Walmart for $29 and carried for years in the Army was a much more useful tool than all the $100+ Leathermans many of my fellow soldiers carried. Depending on your MOS and unit, “Gerber” or “Leatherman” were often used in place of multitool, just like in parts of Texas if you order a “coke” they interpret that to mean soda in general and respond with “what kind of coke do you want?” Dr. Pepper. In the Army Leathermans are more common so when someone asked to borrow my “Leatherman” I’d hand them my Gerber suspension and they’d fumble with it, confused by the little nubs that make one handed operation a breeze, and then more confused about the locking mechanism, although both seem pretty intuitive to me. I’ve always found this tool to reign supreme since it’s truly easy to operate with one hand, includes a high quality belt case, and has all the necessities. Although a little stiff at first, with some extra lubricant and break-in, opening and closing the knife, saw, and even pliers, were easy with one hand only. Being spring loaded is a seriously important bit too, and after years of use they still work well.Since the same product page has the original suspension and the new Suspension NXT, I do want to mention the NXT is pretty mediocre. You get a couple more tools you don’t need, but completely lose the ability to operate with one hand. Instead of the nice little nubs for your thumb to flick open the outermost tools on the Suspension, the NXT goes back to basics so you need to use your fingernail(s) to pull out any of the tools. The sliders to unlock tools on the NXT are more flush and the springs seem stiffer, aka much harder to use. No case is included, but if you want to actually carry it and are willing to sacrifice a pocket, you can use the attached pocket clip. Hooray. One of the few examples I’ve seen where the new version of a product gets worse in nearly every way.
