Gerber Radius Multi Tool at Target

[lightinsky]

Anyone try one of these newly realesed multi tools from gerber. Looks cool but not sure about the quality or finish when compared to Leatherman or Victorinox.

Just a few years ago, Gerber quality was just half a notch below Spyderco or Benchmade. Sadly, those days seem like a distant memory....

Everyone I know who owns a Vic Multi-tool, praises it! I have quite a bit of experience with Leatherman multi-tools. Other than watching out for a bit of surface rust, Leatherman is a Winner. SOG's Power Lock is my current large multi-tool of choice. So far, no complaints! You can also flip it open, one-handed.

Yeah, I recommend a Vic or Leatherman (or SOG) multi-tool over one from Gerber.

Thanks for the input. I do like my Gerber but I also my leatherman and my victorinox a little more.

Costco set from Gerber with a flashlight+multi tool has the tool made in China with only 1 year warranty.
Can someone check with Gerber is no more lifetime?Or is only for China models?
