Picked up a Gerber set yesterday at Costco that included a mid-size multitool, a small (keychain) multitool, and a 2xAAA penlight that has 4 interchangeable different color 5mm LED heads. I was looking to pick up a multitool anyways (was going to get the Gerber Suspension, or possibly a Leatherman, but the Leathermans are so much pricier). This Gerber multitool looks similar to the suspension, but isn't skeleton-framed, still nice.
Anyways, on to the light...the body is made of aluminum with a rubber sleeve. The heads and tailcap are made of plastic. They thread roughly into the body, but work well enough. The end of the body that the head screws into has a spring to contact the metal contact in the head. The tailcap is a press for momentary, twist for constant on. Build quality is just decent, but output is actually quite decent for all the colors. The White LED is a bit bluish in the center, but not too bad. The Green, Blue, and Red leds are all quite useful in color. I didn't think I'd like the light and thought I might return it if I didn't like the multitools either, but I actually like all the items. I got the package for $40. It comes with a pouch to hold the penlight and 3 stretchslots for each of the heads. Just thought I'd put this up cuz I actually like this quite a lot.
Here's some pics:
