Ratings & Reviews for Gerber Multi-Tool12 Tools2-3/4 InGreen/Black 31-001132

Gross

I was looking for a lightweight multi tool for hiking. The Dime seemed to be exactly what I was looking for @ 2 oz having a cutting blade, scissors, pliers, tweezers and a few other basic tools. The Dime has failed me in every way except being lightweight.. The knife is dull, when sharpened it loses its edge quickly. The scissors failed to cut mole skin or duct tape. The rod that stops the pliers from folding backwards failed while trying to straighten a bent aluminum tent stake. The tweezers do...

I like the general idea of the tool and have used it a few time with success. However, the files seem like a "concept" that never really saw the true light of day. The scoring or knurling of the cutting surfaces appears to be negated by the coating-there is just no "bite" to the cutting surface and they are rendered useless. Will I return it? only if I can know that the surfaces have been reviewed and fabricated correctly

Dont Buy

I use this maybe once every two weeks and it cant take the wear and tear. dont buy

Mr.

I am on my 3rd Dime the first one was great used it for multiple thing even cut a coat hanger for a project. Then I lost it, so I got my 2nd one expecting the same quality and strength but unfortunately it was not even close. With in a couple months the springs broke in it so the pliers where useless. I contacted Gerber they replaced it no charge which was great, however the replacement is worse than the one I sent back. none of the cutting tools will hold an edge. Consequently I will never buy ...

I have owned my Dime for over 5 years. There is hardly a day that goes by where it is not in my pocket (including with dress pants). I have read negative reviews about this product on this website, and the websites of several different big box stores. From my personal experience, and their comments here is what you must keep in mind: 1) You will not build a house or break down a motor with it. 2) The bottle opener takes a little getting used to. When I first started using it, it took me two trie...

Totally disappointed in this tool. I have had it for a month. I have used the knife and tweezers with no issue but last night I attempted to use the pliers and one of the tangs snapped off at the pivot point. Will be seeking a free replacement for this.

Pliers break easily!

I really liked my dime until the pliers snapped on them. They didn't take much force to break at all. I expected more from Gerber than this flimsy piece of engineering.

On my second use of the Dime, the handles gave in, forcing the pliers to remain open, and forcing me to warranty the Dime. I used the Dime just to crimp a 16ga wire connection, I'm hoping it's just a defect, because I really like the size of the dime. My only other complaint is the bottle opener. I don't drink, but beside that it can get in the way of using the Dime. Hoping I won't have to seek fully returning the replacement.

I am on my 3rd Black Dime. I carry and use it daily. My only complaint is the retail package opener opens past it's designed stop i.e. instead of stopping in line with the body like the knife blade (180 degrees), the package opener actually goes past the stop to an approximate 200 degrees. The opener then becomes difficult to use. Great idea and concept. Just needs to be beefed up.

Don't buy it for the pliers.

Went to cut some fishing line with the 'wire cutters' but that was met with failure, the knife became the primary choice. After that I went to crimp some split shot onto the fishing line, not with much force mind you and the one handle over rotated rendering the pliers useless. Enough said.

Very happy with the tool until the main cutting blade over extends and does not have its usual "springiness". It is about 1 year old and is not my daily carry! I am in the process of sending it in for warranty work. Other than that it is a GREAT tool.

Not bad, not great

Good for the key chain. Knife is a good slicer with a nice belly. Screw drivers are functional. I really like the spring on the pliers. However, the file is crap. It's first, too small to be really useful, and second, it barely works. It might be due to the black coating clogging up the groves. I'll probably have to take a Dremel to it to remove the coating. Coating is already wearing off - wish I got the one without it. Plies are not the strongest, but are probably sufficient for this type of t...

Fantastic looking and even greater when it comes to practicality and usefulness.... the quality of the multi tool is obvious to anyone holding one in their hand or opening it up ; The hefty weight and the strong spring assist of the pliers are both good signs of high quality. I havent put it down yet, lol, I am still admiring and playing with it

It's Great! It belongs on your keychain, always. Always!

Be warned?? It's upgraded and masterfully engineered

Anyways the updated it an the pliers are spectacular and with the perfect minimalistic size the are extremely accurate. Plus there are basically two extra tools in the pliers mouth where there is an unclosed serrated bar stretch as well as an unclosed oval stretch with a larger size serration fit to it. Also there is an added miniature hook knife and the design of the regular knife is no so regular, it's incredibly sharp like a mini chefs blade. It is like a little razor blade but it is not so t...

It will not keal...this tool is a good idea, a small pocket tool that you can throw in your pocket and forget about it until you need it but when you do need it don't expect to do much with the pliers, it WILL break, i am sending in my 3rd one for warranty service due to the pliers breaking, why do i torture myself and keep sending it in? because as i stated it is a nice tool but the pliers could have been made of a stronger material.

A Bartender View

I´m a Beer Bartener and a i open a lot of beer all night and the bottle opener it´s onw of the best tool for me. THe knife need to be sharp a little more out of the box and the wire cutter too. Overall it´s a cool and useful EDC multitool.

I really like mine, nothing has broke. For the price/size I think it's a grate tool. People are expecting it to work to the same standards as there full size tools and thats just not a realistic exception from something thats the size of your thumb.
