Multitools
A useful multitool does not need the highest possible number of functions. What matters is having the tools needed for the intended jobs in a size that is practical to carry. Start by listing a few common tasks, then compare them with the exact components stated for each model.
This category contains the Gerber Multi-Plier 600 D.E.T. Black, with a listed closed length of 13 cm. Its full name identifies a specific version, so components from other Multi-Plier 600 variants should not be assumed to be the same. Check the individual product page for the tool list, opening method, locks, material, weight and supplied case or accessories.
Before starting a job
Make sure the tool fits both the hand and the task. Consider whether it will be carried in a pocket, bag or separate case. Closed length tells only part of the story, since thickness, weight and handle shape also affect comfort.
Inspect the pivots, locks and working parts before use. Dirt or looseness may prevent correct operation. After a job, clean the multitool according to the material guidance, dry it thoroughly and never fold wet components into the handle. Sharpening, lubrication and adjustment should follow the maker's instructions.
