Well, I gotta give this item TWO thumbs-up!This thing is amazing! Very cool design, but more importantly, it's a very practical tool! It has just about any feature you could ask for in a multitool, and I'm pretty sure it could withstand anything you can throw at it.
All the individual blades (scissors, saw, knives, file, drivers, etc), are all easily accessible from the outside, meaning you don't have to unfold the item to use any of the blades, and all of these items, including the lanyard eye hole, all fully lock into place, and the only way to release them, is to use the built-in unlocking-levers. Very clever feature! This means no fear of cutting your fingers while using each blade.
Features of the Gerber Ripstop include: Scissors, regular blade, serrated blade, bottle opener, slotted & philips drivers, spring loaded pliers, lanyard eye, and a VERY sturdy saw blade, with an excellent cutting pattern! Right out of the box, all the blades were very sharp, and the tool comes with a very durable nylon sheath, which can be mounted on your belt either vertically, or horizontally. It has both sets of belt loops sewn right in!
I only have 2 small issues: (and they're very SMALL issues for me):
1) The Philips screwdriver was not stamped properly during the manufacturing process. It works (to a degree), but, mine has a tendency to strip a Philips screw head if I'm not careful. Is it a big deal to me? No, not really.... Again, it might just be a fluke thing that happened during manufacturing? Who knows?
2) It's fairly heavy for a multitool. This might be a turn-off for some hikers/campers, who really want to travel as light as possible, BUT, in my opinion I feel that this is "good weight", not "bad weight".
Conclusion:
Best "bang-for-buck" out there, for multitools! Great product for anyone, any hobby, or any profession! Musicians, hunters, mechanic, camping, handy-man, EMT, Policeman, Fire/Rescue, tradespeople, etc etc etc...Or just someone who likes awesome gadgets! Overall, this is an EXCELLENT product, extremely ergonomic (it really fits your hands very well), and it's VERY well-built. For the money, I'd take this over a more expensive brand ANY day of the week! In fact, I like it much better than my very expensive Leatherman! You would TRULY be foolish not to grab one of these, especially at $30 BUCKS! It's literally a "STEAL"!
