Gear Dime 12-in-1 Mini EDC Multitool - Needle Nose Pliers, Pocket Knife, Keychain, Bottle Opener - Gifts for Men, EDC Gear and Equipment - Black

I'm my opinion, this is the best small utility knife for practical everyday use. Starting with quality, the materials are very solid and stainless tools are high grade. As far as tools go, everyone has specific needs but with the bottle opener being built into the body of the knife, you don't have to open anything up to use it. That's very handy if opening bottles is something you do frequently. Also the box opener is an excellent tool to have so that you know dull the main blade. I also really like that they're is a plyers and scissors and in such a small package they get the job done without adding all the bulk in my pocket, which leads me to the last point which is that it doesn't have bulk or any weight in your pocket, which makes it excellent for everyday use.

Do not listen to the negative reviews. They are from people who Baton logs with a 3 inch folding and call the knife garbage when it brakes. This is my first Gerber multi tool. I have expensive full sized leathermans, but wanted a small pocket carry for small every day tasks. This is the perfect key chain sized multi tool that will not do everything, but will do enough. The scissors are very good; not as nice as the small Swiss army scissors, but a close second. Drivers are of good quality. The spring loaded pliers are very nice and bite down nicely. This is a quality tool, made very well.

Great key chain tool. Had one six years and I finally wore it out. The small size is great and only thing negative I have to say is not the products fault. The small size does make it weaker if you put extremely high torque or power behind use. At which point you likely using it when you should be using a larger version. The blades are sharp, the drivers work as expected for small tool, the pliers are super useful as long as you don’t go crazy with the power grip. The scissors are perfect for those small jobs threads, cord, fishing line, etc.. Mike keychain will never go without one.

I have tried other brands and this one is the most useful, compact, durable, and sturdy. It is perfect for my mom bag. I use it to cut straws, open packages, and change batteries.

This is a pocket-size multitool with good mix of just the right tools. Quality of the materials meets Gerber standards (I also own a Gerber Suspension which I think is the best of its kind). The only issue I have with the Gerber Dime is the assembly. The first one delivered to me, the knife wouldnt open unless it was pried open. I replaced that one, but on the second one the file would barely open. I used WD-40 and 3-in-1 oil on it with little effect. Maybe it just needs to be broken in. I'll keep it. The blade is sharp and the box cutter is even sharper, so far its the most useful thing on board. The spring loaded mini-pliers and mini-scissors are handy, just dont put too much strain on them. The bottle opener is so small it takes multiple trys to pry open a bottle cap. There are also tweezers to help with the ever-present cactus needles we have in Texas. Compared with other pocket-sized rigs, the Gerber Dime is better designed with better materials. If you can get one that was assembled right, you should be happy with it for a long time. Update: Seems like the 3-n-1 Oil I applied finally made it to the point of friction. All the tools open more easily now. I used a knife sharpener made for pocket knives on the blade, now I have an edge. It's a keeper! This handy little multitool is going to live in my pocket from now on. Recommended.

The smallest keychain multi-yool that has a real functioning set of pliers. Part of my EDC. Highly recommended, Gerber makes a good product at a fair price point.

I purchased this and have been carrying it for just a few days shy of two months. I do a lot of work, and I do a lot of small repairs around my building as I find it. I was hoping to lessen the weight I have to carry around while still maintaining the ability to do a quick repair on the fly. First, as they came out of the package, the color. These are not red, but are somewhere around burgundy to maroon depending on the light. The photo attached is about as color correct as I can get. Second, the pliers. I have tried using these repeatedly. Opened, they are the size of a pair of mini pliers, and that is what I was looking for. The problem is that they are just about useless. Every single task I have tried to use them for has ended up with me going for a different set of pliers. The cut profile of the nose means they don't go into anything for a needle nose, but they also won't grip anything with a small edge, or anything at all that requires the tip as there is no grip cut into it and the tip edge is ever so slightly rounded. The pivot also has dings where the factory had to adjust it... But the pliers still feel slightly loose. As for the rest of the cut profile, the pipe grip as well as the rest of the grip simply... will not grip anything. I have slipped off everything I have tried to hold on to, and given myself a nice hematoma. Not very safe. The cutters sometimes work, but the ever so slightly loose play in them makes them fail to cut very small wires, fiber, or anything that isn't fairly rigid. The rest. They are smaller than I expected. The pliers section is larger than I expected, larger in proportion than a full size multitool, but the handles are smaller. The knife and file feel even smaller because of how relatively wide the handle is versus how short the tools are. The file part of the file is not even as wide as my thumbnail, and has very, VERY little actual cut grip. Without a significant amount of pressure, you just glide over the file cuts. With the fingernail opener cut into the outside part of the file, the only useful file is the inner one that is shrouded by the handle. They could have put the file on the package opener and been miles ahead. The knife is sharp, but with how small it is and how very close it is to the handle, which in relative width is very wide, it's usefulness is very, very limited. The good parts are the package opener, the scissors, the flathead and the 2D Phillips. So far all of these have functioned well and within their normal expected abilities. The Phillips won't do much for partially stripped screws, but that wasn't really expected of it. The bottle opener and the tweezers didn't work. The bottle opener kept slipping off and the tweezers, although angled, were rounded off like the pliers are and were springy. I reshaoed the profile of the tweezers and then hardened the tips and they work well. The bottle opener where it tucks under the crown cap was angled away and kept releasing. I had a machinist friend put a very small groove just past the angle and it too works well. Overall I have been extremely disappointed in this. It doesn't feel very durable, it is difficult to use and it has very limited abilities. At the price point, were I to buy new, I would prefer the classic SD or whatever they call it from the swiss army people. The small one with a file, knife and scissors. I am going to re-profile the pliers, see if I can get some decent grip grooves cut in them and hope I can get some use out of them. Otherwise I am switching back to the much larger multitools that actually have some versatile uses, rather than this that is so incredibly limited.

Małe narzędzie , ale w wielu moich przypadkach , cenne jest to aby za dużo ciężkich rzeczy nie dźwigając do pracy , mały i lekki ale poręczny multi tool.

可もなく不可も無く、至って普通だと思います。特にコメントは有りません。

Zu meiner Person. Ich bin eine Frau mit kleinen Händen und nicht handwerklich tätig. Eher im Outdoorbereich unterwegs oder Alltagsarbeiten. Ich war etwas hin- und hergerissen aufgrund des Preises und der nicht ganz so guten Kritiken. Härteeinsatz habe ich noch nicht hinter mir. Die Messerklinge musste ich nachschleifen. Aber einfach vom emotionalen Bauchgefühl her: Ich mag das Ding einfach! Ich habe es gern in der Hand und gucke es gerne an. Es fühlt sich wertig und robust an ohne klobig und zu schwer zu sein. Wieder zurück zum Rationalen: Es ist ein leichtes EDC für zwischendurch. Der Paketschneider ist ordentlich scharf und erfüllt super seinen Zweck. Auch wenn ich selten Flaschen öffne, finde ich die super, den Flaschenöffner sofort benutzen zu können ohne vorher irgendetwas mit den Fingernägeln aufklappen zu müssen. Die Kanten bleiben nirgendwo hängen und stören auch nicht. Es ist klein, handlich und leicht und fällt somit kaum ins Gewicht beim Packen. Die Optik und Haptik gefällt mir super. Die Größe ist ideal für die Hosentasche. Die außergewöhnliche Messerklingenform finde ich mal besonders. Die Feile ist denke ich Mist. Aber um die ging es mir beim Kauf nicht. Besser als nix und man darf den Schraubendreher nicht vergessen, der im Notfall sicher praktisch ist. Die Schere war schärfer als nach den Kritiken erwartet. Ich würde es wieder kaufen.... Irgendwie entwickelt es sich zum Lieblingsstück. Man will es dabei haben und benutzen. Allerdings waren 30 EUR im Verhältnis zu anderen Multi-Tools kein Schnapper. Paket- und verkäuferseitig alles prima.

E muito pequeno, cabe bem no bolso.

L'ho comprato per regalarlo a mio padre, ma mi è piaciuto al punto che ne ho comprato un altro per me. Piccolo e tascabile. Uso spesso praticamente tutti gli strumenti. Essendo molto piccolo lo porto dietro più facilmente rispetto al victorinox, il quale ha un lama più grande e non è sempre facile giustificarne il possesso di fronte a un eventuale controllo delle forze dell'ordine.
