Gerber Compact Sport... How Tough?

[Tree]

Hello everyone,

I was thinking about getting a Compact Sport from Gerber. It has all the tools I need: pliers, knife, small flat head screw driver (to fit in XLR connector), philips head screw driver, wire cutter/stripper, and does not cut into you when you use the pliers. The main reason for selecting this model was it's weight 6oz. I figure this and a G2 or E2e (depending on the surprises at the shot show) would be my lightest weight combination. My current combination (Craftsman Pro and 8NX) wieghs me down too much.

Sooooo... The questions are, has anyone owned one of these? and How sturdy is it. I have a Craftsman Pro multitool

(see this thread http://www.candlepowerforums.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=18&t=000034

and have brought it back 3 times for breaking some part of it. Although Sears replaces it with a new model every time, this last time the model design has changed a bit and it does not have the small flat head anymore. I use my multitool heavliy at work so it has to hold up well, or have a great easily exchangeable lifetime warranty

Hey Tree, I have the Leatherman Juice S2, and I know for sure it fits the XLR screws

Actually it has two that fit that size. It is the lights multi-tool I have used to date and haven’t had a problem with it. I can tighten C-Clamps without a problem. It does have the wire cutters on it though.

Sweet!!! Thanks Brock. 4.4 ounces and Botach has it for the low low price of $37.50 (kidding)

Now to see what SureFire to get, all these new developments are getting exciting.
