Ratings & Reviews for Gerber 15 -Piece Suspension NXT Butterfly Multi-Tool

Great tool.

Bought as a gift. Works great and looks even better.

Worked great until it broke simply opening it.

I had mine for less than 4 months and it didn't see much use until last week when I started finding more uses and excuses to pull them out and fix something. Sadly they broke where the bottom of the pliers contact the handle frame and the pliers are inoperable. It's basically brand new still and everything else worked great for me so I've sent it in for warranty. I'll see in a coupe weeks how things go.

Quality at a good price.

I really like how you can access the tools without opening the pliers. I also like the unlocking mechanism compared to previous Gerber tools. Why it's not 5 star: the plier handles have play in them. By this I mean they wiggle so the two handles are not even when folder, I would like them to feel sturdier. The scissors are awesome, wish all multi-tools had them. The spring slips to the side sometimes so I have to pull the handle back manually.

Enjoyer of Life

I wanted a nice multi-tool to keep in the auto emergency kit and saw this one at REI. Played around with it a bit and it'll definitely get the job done. I like the locking mechanism on the flip out tools, the pocket clip is sturdy and secure without being too tight, and the spring loaded pliers work excellent. I bought my first multi-tool over 25 years ago (and still have it) when I was in the Marines and I'm impressed with the progressive improvements over the years. A couple of points I'll nit...

Got the original suspension it was cost for the price sheath as we all know was a bit thin so I pit it in my leatherman leather case with the single light attachment. Fit snug as a glove yawl. Then I got wind of the NXT mhmm hmmm had to have it. First one was a but warped so I took it back to homedepot and the passed me another which we checked at the counter right and clean! On my belt loop it went and off to work... that all is great for scrapping char off a burnt up gas oven, I kind you not t...

I currently own the Suspension, MP600, as well as a Leatherman Signal. My primary reason for buying the NXT, was I simply wanted an EDC that was functional, and wouldn't weigh me down. At 6.7 ounces, this tool weighs 25% less than my Suspension. Two things that I really like about this tool, 1. A longer cross driver that actually looks like a Phillips. 2. The opening in the combo blade that allows for easy deployment. The NXT thoughtfully comes with a pocket/belt clip, which will keep Gerber fan...

Never had enough toys as a kid.

Gerber keeps finding ways to improve multitools and driving the cost down. I have owned the original Suspension, so when the NXT came our with a pocket clip, I had to have it. I love the weight feel of this tool. I was surprised there is no stud on the blade for 1 hand opening. The Phillips screwdriver is long like a real screwdriver. The scissors are stubby, but usable. I'm not fond of the wire spring. The tool feels good in my hand and has the basics. Just what I need. For the money, it's an e...

Machinist

Very disappointed. I have other Gerber tools that are great, MP600, MP400, and a Gerber Obsidian. All have been treated rough and performed great. I was excited when I saw the Suspension NXT, not too heavy with a pocket clip, until I took it out of the box. First thing I noticed was that the tips of the pliers didn’t match up. Then when I closed the tool again, one side of the tool had a noticeable gap while the other side fit flush. Then I looked at the tool from the bottom and the two sides we...
