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

Overall good

I've used this tool for 2 years now overall a very handy tool. I love and hate the pocket clip. I like that I have a wide variety of tools without a belt pouch. Makes it good to carry everywhere. That being said the belt clip is very soft out of the package. I have lost this tool many times in my truck or tight spots.. A solution I found was to take the clip off and bend it inwards alot to create more pressure. Haven't had an issue yet been about 6 months since then.

Good and bad

The multi tool itself i thoroughly enjoyed when you treat it properly as a light duty tool. But the pocket clip is the issue. The pocket clip is originally why i picked one up and why overall i hate this tool. For weeks it would just fall out of my pocket, bent the clip to be tighter and it didn't help. Eventually i got home from work one day it was just gone entirely. Someone elses problem now.

Not good

I had my suspension nxt for a few months and one of the screw heads broke off. Once this happened the tool was pretty much useless. Reached out to gerber several times about a replacement but never got a response. Don't think I'll be buying anymore of their products

The right size for everyday carry.

I liked the pocket clip. The tools can be used without opening the pliers.

Awesome Multitool

I bought this multitool to replace a worn out ozark trail i had for years. It offers so much more than the ozark trail. A nice pocketable form factor with pocket clip. Spring loaded pliers and for the first time on a multitool I've owned really good springloaded sizors and so much more. I never leave home without it.

still a handy tool to have on you but not as good as the orginal suspension. the philips doesnt fit small screws and the 2 flat heads are just awkward to use the small blade is kind of useless cause its too small i still have my other broken suspention tool and im thinking to swap out the philips, falt head and the saw type blade into this one

decent quality for the price

i've had 2 of these. first one grew legs. and the one i have now. im sending it back after 3 or 4 years of using it al the time. not a lot of tools can keep up with how hard i am on them. ive destroyed cheaper and more expensive multi tools. some how this one kept going. i am super impressed. that said. jaw are a little brittle as i split it at the hinge pin. screws tend to back out after 3 or 4 months. #2 Philips is great. a third flathead 1/8" would be perfect for me. all in all i love it.

not worth it

I have a Gerber multi tool and it built up rust in the tool and the locking part for the tools broke , so I went out and got a leatherman and never turned back to Gerber.

Just got mine last week in the mail. So far it has been Awsome! It appears they have fixed the handle alignment issue when it's closed. All tools seem to work ok for now. Will see how it goes down the road. Bought this to replace a Leatherman Wingman that didn't hold up to my daily job tasks. Have had Gerber tools in the past and always been happy.

Industrial controls

Jaws misaligned, clip is is the most flimsy thing I've ever seen on a knife ir multi tool tools hard to open, major flex in handles as if the metal structure is too weak. This thing feels like it would bend in half under serious use.

mr

Generally seems to be a reasonable multi tool but who came up with the idea on the scissors to use a round profile spring that hits up against a section with rounded edges on the upper scissor section?? the spring gets pushed out of the way then the upper section wedges in between the spring and the lower scissor section, doesn't close fully and doesn't return to open on its own!! honestly the Gerber Dime has a better operating scissors... :(

I bought this a few months ago and it works for everything. The alignment of the handles are a bit off, but that hasn't inhibited the functionality at all. All the tools work great for all sorts of things. Whether it be small crafts, projects around the house, cutting rope, or misc. hunting activities it has always come in handy. I've enjoyed it for the price point, especially. I am getting more than what I paid for it.
