Gerber Multi-Plier 600 Needle Nose

Well, it finally came in the mail yesterday. Having my first and last name engraved on it took longer than expected, but it is a nice touch.

To start things off, I was looking for a replacement for my old Leatherman Super-Tool (that I thought was lost). After ordering this Gerber Multi-Plier, I suddenly remembered where my Leatherman was... go figure

Anyway, on to my personal review of the Gerber Multi-Plier 600.

There were many options to choose from in the 600 series. I finally decided on the Multi-Plier 600 w/carbide cutters w/sheath option.

This tool includes:
Needlenose pliers with a 3 sided carbide wire cutter, large, medium and small screwdrivers, cross point screwdriver, lanyard ring, Drop Point kinfe blade, serrated knife blade, can opener, bottle opener, file, crimper, wire cutter and a scale. All blades lock open using Gerber's Patented SAF-T PLUS™ locking system.

Overall, I am impressed with the quality of construction for this tool. The blades have very nice edges on them, and should provide years of service. I haven't used this very much in the day that I've worn it, but with the canvas sheath, it is very comfortable to wear, practically unnoticable. I've shown it to a couple friends at work that carry similar multi-tools, and they like mine better.

I will add an update after this week of carrying/use to see how it performs.

Here's some pictures of my personal Gerber. Enjoy!
