Review of Gerber 05500 MP400 Compact Sport Multi-function Tool

I am in the Army and currently serving in Iraq.Being here I have received several different models of multi-tools by manufacturers such as SOG, Leatherman, Kershaw, and Gerber.This particular Gerber is by far my favorite and the only one that I brought from home.It contains the tools that I need most, and is at a size that I find comfortable to wear on my belt and it's being there does not interfere with the fit of my body armor or other equipment.I'm amazed at how often the scissors come in handy too.I thought that a goofy thing to have until I got this tool, and now I cannot imagine not having them handy.The pliers are just the right size for most jobs, and the cutters are just fine for cutting the bands off of equipment when needed.For my money Gerber has a winner here and if I ever lose this one I will replace it with the same model.

About the Compact Sport Multi-Plier Multitool
Gerber's Compact Sport Multi-Plier can best be described as the lighter, tighter version of Gerber's 600-series multitools -- but it's no less useful and versatile. This ultra-compact workhorse brings together all the functionality and performance of its big brother, with stainless steel hardware and Fiskars scissors that come tough enough to tear through seatbelts. Strong, durable, and easy to use, the Compact Sport boasts one-handed opening pliers and the Saf.T.Plus locking system to keep everything secure when not in operation. Stay safe, and stay ready for anything -- on the road, around the house, at the lake, or in the woods.

Gerber's History of Ingenuity
Savvy. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that contributed to Gerber's emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910, and one Christmas, he hired a local knife-maker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular, Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939.


It makes sense, really. An idea man gets the idea of a lifetime and turns it into a major outdoor brand -- one that commands respect among knife-lovers and knife-makers alike. And now that same high regard is spreading in new directions, in the form of many outstanding products such as tools, personal L.E.D. lighting, and backpack hydration.
