Leatherman or Gerber

I currently have 3 Leatherman tools in my truck anyone else carry a Leatherman or Gerber? Ill be honest I'm a bit biased since I work for Leatherman.

 

I just carry a Benchmade knife. And the tools i need are in my tool bag.

 

Lol how about a GB on some Leathermans?? I have the Leatherman Wave my self and love it.

 

I carry a leatherman Wave with me at work. Everyone does. If we didn't have that single tool I swear I'd go crazy... LOVE IT to death. I have many other tools for the job, but they are usually 300' below me when I need it.

 

Obviously multitools can't fix everything but I like having a tool on hand at all time for small jobs.

 

Dont get me wrong, I like the idea behind them. I just feel they are too bulky and difficult to handle sometimes.

 

I have a Leatherman MUT and a Benchmade in the truck.

 

I've carried Gerber since they came out. Since op works for leatherman,going be hard to persuade this plumber to change.

 

I have 4 leathermans and a Gerber multi-tool.

The gerber is the 'Diesel'. It's nice, but I HATE the slide feature to open it up. It's a pain in the butt.

The leatherman I keep in my truck is a 'Charge' It's a nice one with all the basic features.

I have one 'Wave' that I keep in my tool box in my garage. It's nice. It was my first one so It's like the "ol-trusty" one.

Then I have two for military use. I have a OHT in coyote brown that I keep in my assault pack. Its nice, especially the spring loaded pliers.

My baby that I LOVE, is the Leatherman MUT. Its fully designed as a multi-tool that works with the M16/M4 variant rifles. I keep this puppy in my vest. It's an amazing little tool.

I have a Gerber myself. Honestly, they're pretty much the same difference... both are great products.

 

Besides my leatherman, I have SOG auto open knife.

 

Now that's one I'd like to have.

I would argue with you but it would only end in the demise of view of Gerber.

 

I use my Gerber pliers so much. So easy to flick it open. Can the leatherman be opened one handed?

 

Yes they can if you buy the right tool. Leatherman OHT (One Hand Tool)

 

Thanks,was just looking at mobile site.

 

Well not much persuasion needed to try the oht,thanks op.

 

Glad I could help
