What Customers Are Saying
The Gerber Dime is a versatile and compact multi-tool. The knife blade is sharp and useful, though may need occasional sharpening. The package opener and bottle opener work well. While the pliers and scissors are not as robust as full-size tools, they are still functional for light-duty use. The overall design and construction is praised as durable, though a few users reported issues with components breaking under excessive force. The small size and lightweight make it an excellent everyday carry tool. While not intended for heavy-duty work, the Dime excels at handling a wide range of everyday tasks and small repairs. Some users found the scissors and other tools a bit stiff or difficult to use initially, and the tweezers are not very effective.

I was glade to see there was an option to my standard Swiss Army Classic. Same price range with more tools. Great Job. But the file is very short. Easy fix is to make the file longer and put it on the Retail package opener. Easiest job in the world Critic.

Did not come with floating tweezers.
As near as I can tell there are supposed to be tweezers floating in the air next the handle. I can't find anything that indicates they're anywhere else and I can't see any tweezers tucked away anywhere. I'm still searching. Other than that it seems like a nice enough light duty pocket tool. As is the case with every multi tool I've ever bought, I'm going to have to soak it in something like WD40 so I don't have to carry a screwdriver to pry the tools out of the handle. It's not expensive and I w...

Excellent for ultralight backpacking, hunting, and daily needs
I got this as a "what-the-heck" item to thrown on my key ring, and it has been a surprising game changer. I ultralight hunt and backpack, and this little tool is the perfect way to keep my keys in one place in my pack. I used the little scissors to punch my archery elk tag and a few other big game tags this past year. The bottle opener was perfect for cracking open drinks after the hunts. And when I get things in the mail, the scoring tool is perfect for cutting tape.

Sicssors failed
The scissors broke up at the second use, just opening it and they fail. And cause I dont live in US, Canada, Puerto Rico or Guam, i'm not able to request any warranty. It's a shame

Pretty Great Tool
I've had a couple of these little tools and loved them. They're great for a pinch or a light job. This works great for most light jobs. If you are going to use this for a heavy duty task get a "full sized" multi-tool that's what they are made for. If you want something small that will easily fit in your pocket to use for opening up small packages and tightening a loose screw here and there this is great. Holds up well have had mine for almost five years and still going strong. I've had to sharpe...

I have read the reviews and many buyers are using the "key chain" multi-tool as a replacement for a real solid hand driver or plier. This multi-tool is meant to be used as an emergency, or a convenient pocket tool, when in need of something on the fly. For harder solid tasks, or an actual job for need for continuous use, say as a theatre technician, purchasing the standard Gerber multi-tool is ideal, as the construction and grade of material used is of a higher standard, thus stronger. Anyone no...

Not worth a "dime"
I have had other "mini" multi tools in the past, and the Dime is likely the worst! The quality doesn't come close to the SOG multi tool I lost or the Leatherman. I still own a couple of Gerber knives and the quality is very good. The Chinese made Dime is a waste of my money. The pointy screwdriver tip doesn't fit well in a Phillips screw, and the file side of it is a joke. About the only possible plus to the tool is the pliers. Gerber's quality has really gone down from what it used to be!

I enjoyed this knife till the fat blade lock broke on it. That's why it gets 3 stars.

The only useful features here are the bottle opener and possibly the pliers for minuscule tasks. Come on Gerber, you can do better than this!

Great little multi tool I've had it for almost 5 years now. None of the issue like some of the other reviews. Even with using the screwdrivers on parts at an automotive plant, with them working just fine. Although it's starting to get a little difficult to open the players but what do you expect after five years of almost daily use. Like the bright color so it's not as easily lost ( I don't know how many times I've lost others that were as bright) some don't like the color but they make the same...

Although the tool was very affordable and compact, the pliers' teeth warped while calibrating a kitchen thermometer. The tool was convenient due to its compact size and selection of tools, which is why I gave it two stars. But, pliers should not deform while rotating the calibration hex nut on a food thermometer.

You know what would make it even better? A black and orange version! Something to remind me of... oh I don't know, Gerber perhaps? I know it has the logo, which is cool too, but orange and black should've been the first color scheme for this! Please? And then you can take my money. :D

Piece of junk. The flat screwdriver twisted the first time I used it, and one of the springs for the pliers is bent and gets worse when I use them. I've only had this thing for a week. What would otherwise be a great little knife is ruined by poor quality materials.
