Leatherman Juice S2: Gerber 30-000441 Octane Multi Plier, Red Review

Average Reviews:
3.0 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)While perhaps not of the highest quality, this is a very functional and affordable multi-tool for the minimalist. Holding the tool upright with one hand while pressing the two side buttons, the pliers are easily deployed with gravity.The knife is larger than with most other Gerber multi-tools and is also easily accessed (whether the pliers are deployed or not). This multi-tool also has a full-sized Phillips screwdriver (unlike other Gerbers), a full-sized flat screwdriver, as well as a small flat screwdriver which can also be used as a punch/awl. The most interesting tool is the retail package opener which basically operates as a small box cutter for those hard to open plastic clam packages. All of the tools have locks (the knife with a liner lock)and the pliers can always be deployed independent of the other tools. Overall, this is a nice little multi-tool where the two most-used tools (knife and pliers) deploy easily and quickly.This multi-tool is also relatively thin and lightweight and fits nicely in the pocket... and comes with a pocket clip (no sheath necessary!). Again, recommended as an affordable and functional multi-tool for the minimalist (like the Gerber Crucial, except that the Crucial is a two-handed opening multi-tool).PS: I have already used this tool to install a ceiling fan!

At a Glance:

When these durable Gerber pliers are opened they measure 5.5 inches, when they're closed the pliers are a compact 4.0 inches. Fast, Convenient One-Hand Plier Opening
At the center of Gerber Octane Multi Plier's efficient design is a sturdy pair of pliers that allow you to get a secure hold on a wide variety of surfaces, so you can tighten stubborn bolts, move hot camp pans, and pull tough knots loose. And the Octane makes use of Gerber's patented one-hand opening design, which allows you to snap the pliers into place and get to work using a single hand. This leaves your other hand free to stabilize the workpiece in front of you, keep fasteners at the ready, or hold a flashlight.
Sturdy, Half-Serrated Knife Blade
The Octane's dependable blade is big enough to handle the tasks taken on by any dedicated pocketknife, and it features a half-serrated edge for making quick cuts through rope and other fibrous materials. Offering the best of both worlds without the weight of two blades, the half of the blade that has a fine edge allows for accurate detail work and easy sharpening.
Nine-Tools-in-One for Job-Specific Performance
Beyond this tough, sharp blade and the easy-open pliers, the Octane offers a set of wire cutters, a Phillips driver, a small flat driver, a large head driver, a bottle opener, and a special tool designed for opening retail packages effectively. It also comes equipped with a convenient pocket clip.
Sleek, Trim Design Ideal for Travelers
Despite being a completely utilitarian accessory, the Octane still shows off sleek, contemporary good looks. Its stainless steel body and components feature a satin finish, and one side of the handle is finished in a brilliant red, which makes the tool easy to spot.
In addition, the Octane measures a length of 5.5 inches when open and 4.0 inches when closed, allowing the tool to fit comfortably in your hand during use and comfortably in your pocket or your pack between uses. And it weighs in at just 5.0 ounces, so you'll barely notice that you're carrying it.
