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.

Overall a very good little mulitool. The package opener and the knife were pretty dull but once sharpened they were great. the scissors could barely cut paper and you can really get in between them to sharpen them, but is use this tool everyday and its always on me.

Super awesome
Best compact multitool this is even better than a leather man squirt

Disappointing
Weak scissors and one side of the pliers broke on first use (and took a chunk out of my hand as well)! I know this is a lightweight tool, but I expected more from a Gerber.

Mr.
I just got this Dime Tool yesterday for my birthday and when I went to open a stuck super glue bottle with it, one of the pliers jaws snapped right off. Just like the Mr. Aaron's report. Would not buy again. The metal is way too brittle and thin and possibly not heat treated correctly; bad combination. Sad too, because I like the design and color options, although the color seems to wear pretty quick (had it in my pocket with my keys and it is already flaking off). Bottom line, would not recomme...

I agree with Dime owner / user... this tool could use a tin can opener. A bottle can be opened with a common BIC lighter or any other plastic pry tool... otherwise, a very nice pocket tool. Nice bang for the buck! I own several GerberGear knives/tools and they are simply awesome.

Disappointing Quality. Mini Leatherman are much better. Some good features but the plier and scissor are toys. First time I used plier one side broke off with very little pressure applied. Haven't found anything the scissors will cut yet. Other blades have been useful.

design flaw
The anodizing at the tip of the narrow ends get scratched off every time i open and close the tool to access the pliers. Although the angled design looks good at first, just few times of opening and closing the tool scraps off enough anodizing to leave a visible mark even when the tool is closed. Its a good tool otherwise. Wish i bought the green or red instead though

This is a well made and compact multi-tool, minus the tweezers which are not the best. I had hoped to use this on my keychain but it is just too heavy for me personally.

After loads of research trying to find the perfect EDC MT I found it in the Dime. The tool selection is excellent in this size of EDC. Quality is above average and I'm sure this MT will be in my inventory for generations. I've never owned a package opener but have to say that after discovering this device on the Dime I can now enjoy birthdays and holidays without the worry of dealing with those pesky plastic packages! I live around citrus farms and the package opener serves as an excellent peele...

Perfect Pocket Tool, until...
Loved this tool...very versatile. After a few months of ownership, was cutting-up boxes with knife blade and bar that prevents blade from opening too far bent. Tried to fix it, but broke the hex screw for the hinge when tightening. Construction and durability a concern.

Great tool. Kept in on my key chain for years, until TSA made me leave it at airport security. It's so small you forget it has a blade that you can't fly with. Luckily they make a travel version now that I think I'm going purchase!

Does everything you need
It does everything you need it to do with no problem. The blade is super sharp and I mean super sharp. I only had one problem and it was my fault, not Gerber. The pliers bent because I applied to much pressure and bent it but that was my fault, not the tool. The paint comes off really easy but it doesn't bother me. I know others it will but not for me. It does the job and thats what I bought it for.

bad steel
bad steel Gerber!!! Charge us more for 154CM like on the gator series and you would have the best ever keychain multitool. The current steel is like ice that does not melt, it gets sharp, but then you cut something and you have to sharpen it again

Goodbye Pocket Knives...
I've always carried a pocket knife until I stumbled upon this little piece of engineering. Compact and light, it carries in your pocket as any pocket knife would. Handles light duty jobs well. I would have ditched the "retail package opener" for a serrated blade or saw. Also the scissors are difficult to sharpen since they only open to a fixed position. Still very pleased with it. I even picked one up for my brother given the good price point. I will be looking to Gerber for any multi tool, forg...

Bad Steel
It is a great tool, but BEWARE!!! the steel is quite bad. It is almost like trying to sharpen ice that will not melt. As soon as you get a nice edge on it, after a little bit of use it would have dulled again. The Scissors are too small to use and the steel makes them have a short life as it is practically impossible to sharpen. Not rust though. Gerber, you should just make a better "pro" version with AUS 8, 8Cr13MoV, VG-10, etc. and have it more expensive like the gator, which has the 154 CM ve...

Awesome tool
Every day that I leave the house without this in my pocket, I regret it. It comes in handy in more ways than I can imagine, especially the pliers and the tweezers. My only complaint is that the bottle opener is a litle small, so it is hard to use, but it gets the job done. Also it is not extremely durable, mine broke when I put pressure sideways on the knife, but I was using it for the wrong job and I can't really blame the thing. Still ordering a replacement.

Great, but . . . . .
I love this little tool but after about 6 months of ownership, I somehow put too much pressure on the plier handles and bent the backing spring that secures on jaw of the pliers, rendering them useless. Minus one star for durability issues.

Mr.
Love the design however the first time I went to use the pliers the jaws broke trying to fix a key ring . I swear by my Gerber pocket knives but not sure I would buy the dime again.
