## Description

desertcart.com: Gerber Gear Center-Drive Multitool - Includes 3.25” Outboard Knife, Pliers, Pry Bar, Bottle Opener & Awl - Comes with Bit Set & Sheath - Silver & Black : Baby

Review: Not only amazing tool, but top notch warranty service! - TL;DR Gerber replaced my entire tool when I broke the Screwdriver Arm after 6+ years... I bought this tool when a coworker showed me theirs about 6 years ago, where it quickly replaced whatever Leatherman I had at the time. As a Theater Electrician, there's often times where I need quick access to a knife or pliers (wire strippers too) and even a Screwdriver, so having those 3-4 tools immediately accessible was perfect. The fact that all of those are also one handed access, comes in handy on ladders or lifts, and the standard bits are just a bonus! I've used the Center Drive for every load-in or load-out ever since, and can't even count the number of times it's saved me running for another hand tool, or even occasionally a power tool for smaller fixes. The screwdriver being centered, and easy to use, alone has caused me to grab this over regular tools, even if the grip isn't always as "ergonomic", I just know if I need a second tool, I won't need to go back or fumble for anything. I think my only minor gripe is with the belt holder, there's no pen slot for a sharpie or anything, but I had my old holder, and there's new 3rd party versions at a reasonable cost (just make sure you get the larger variety, Center Drive is slightly bulkier than your average multitool). Still worth every penny I paid for it. And to top it all off, after all these years, I managed to "misuse" slightly the screwdriver and in trying to pry a little, snapped the bolt that holds the driver arm on the tool. I took a picture, sent it to Gerber (as a Limited Lifetime Warranty claim) and hoped. If there was a way to remove the bolt, they probably could have just sent that one piece, so I wasn't sure what would happen... Got an email shortly after that my "Tool or Parts" had shipped... Well to my surprise, what arrived today was not only a brand new Center Drive, but the WHOLE PACKAGE (based on my reciept) with an extra holder (see above) AND a full replacement Bit Kit, which I still had! So now there's a backup! 5* for the tool, 4* for the belt holster but 10* for the customer service and warranty! Take that as you will!
Review: Best multi-tool ever! includes full-size drill bit pack, fits in supplied belt case, blade flips out without opening tool - Best multi-tool ever!! Comes with full-size drill bits that are just like what you would and can use in a full size drill or screw gun. Comes with multiple sizes of flat and Phillips including the normal average #2 as well as bigger and smaller, multiple torx bits, hex bits, and even the illusive square bits, all in a tidy strip that fits in a divided section of the case with the multi-tool itself. Yes it turns screws way better than previous models or other brands like a Leatherman that are kinda wobbly as you turn. Another great feature is that you don't have to open the multi tool to use the cutting blade or the screwdriver. They are both on the outside instead of inside the handles like the other tools. So unlike a leatherman, where you have to use 2 hands to spread out the handles and then dig inside to get to the blade, with this one, you just flip it out one handed like a pocket knife. So awesome!! Love this thing. Takes some practice, but you can pull it out and just kinda flip out the needlenose pliers like your cracking a whip. Again, way better than the 2 hands it requires to open a leatherman. Belt case can actually be mounted vertically or horizontally too. Awesome deal! Quite a bit cheaper than buying directly from Gerber. I almost bought a previous version of this that wasn't center drive and bought an adaptor with bits sold separately that goes on an inferior sized driver and used proprietary bits only. Instead, for a similar price, I indulged in this and it's so awesome and you won't be disappointed. You can replace the bits with same or other types of bits, you could have all Phillips if you wanted or add in a more diverse variety of torx or whatever you want! There's even a small holder of a "spare" bit inside the handle of the multi-tool so if you didn't have the case or bit holder with you, you could still have another option with you ready to go. I keep a #2 Phillips in the driver and a #2 flat head in the backup. If you're looking for a small multi-tool to fit in your pocket, maybe a small leatherman would be better for you as this is kinda heavy and should definitely be worn on the belt in its case. That's the only drawback really is it being so heavy and a little bulky for everyday leisure carry in shorts and flip-flops so consequently, I don't carry it on me everyday, but rather keep it in my console in my truck so I have it if I need it. When working on construction projects or backstage on props and stuff at a theatre, however, it's a must-carry. If you're considering this at all, go for it!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If i order the multitool for $89.97 does it come with the sheath and bit kit? not really fussed for the other option as i have no interest in the pen.**
A: Yes that option comes with the sheath and the bits.

**Q: Is it original made in usa ? if made in usa so i will buy it, i will cancel it if made in china**
A: Hi Nick - Wendy from Tall Ridge here - Thank you for your inquiry! Tall Ridge is an authorized seller of Gerber Gear and if you purchase from us you will receive an authentic Gerber Center-Drive. Gerbers Center-Drive is made in the USA. I hope that is helpful!

**Q: What's the knife blade metal? Anyone have insight on how well it sharpens and holds an edge?**
A: 420HC, which is NOT what all the leathermans use.  It's ok steel, but IMO, some have S30V, which is a FAR superior metal blade.  Overall, this is a great tool for what you're paying for!

**Q: What about tool, sheath, and bit set without the pen? Where's that option?**
A: Previously there was a bundle that included The Tool, and the tactical pen, as well as an additional Gerber modular sheath.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a gerber. Of course it's a top of the line, best in class multi-tool.
*by P***L on September 5, 2020*

I've loved gerber multi-tools since I was 18 in the Marine Corps. The early ones you flicked out just rocked. Comfortable and one-hand opening. I even had the ones for crimping blasting caps as I was a combat engineer. I still have one of those old gerbers and it still works just fine. I almost always get Gerber everything. Got Gerber knives, multi-tools, the little Shard keychain tool which I love because it is airplane friendly. Just good quality and the warranty is great. This tool is no exception. What a beast. I didn't expect it to be quite so big and beefy. I wasn't sure I'd really dig the driver. But I love it. Putting little 1/4" sockets on there is super handy. The prybar seems useless. But then, I always have the Gerber Shard tool on my keychain. The serrated knife is meh, would have rather seen the full outboard knife be half serrated. Replace the serrated knife and prybar with a remgrit blade and a pair of the nice spring-loaded scissors like on a couple of my other gerbers, and that would be more ideal. This one might not replace my everyday carry, the 800 legend. That's just still the most solid/useful multi-tool I've ever used. I've had it for quite a long time. But this one here just might, maybe. Depends on how well it holds up. All the pics of the knife blade breaking concerns me. That knife blade really needs a thumb stud for easier opening. We'll see how it holds up. It's Gerber, so of course I have high expectations. I don't plan on using the knife blade much anyway, as I always have a very good Gerber knife clipped in my pocket. None of my multi-tools have a knife as good as a real knife on them. For now though, a quite impressive tool. I'm a huge fan of that center drive bit. Best one I've seen on a multi-tool. Only one I've seen that actually seems quite useful and wouldn't have me throwing my hands up and going to get a normal 6-n-1 screwdriver.
