I find the black coated gerber pliers have been phenomenal, ive had a mp600 basic for over 6 years and just got a custom centerdrive plus with the same coating, which i find is just better protection than the silver finish that ive had on a gerber truss. I also find the sliding jaw or out the front pliers from gerber have insane stability compared to butterfly jaws, plus you can flick it with youe wrist and open them one handed. If leatherman has one similar, i might have to test it out

Clone automatically means trash. Clone companies not only steal designs but they also lie about materials and heat treat

The B bury wave clone and Gordon wave clone are really well made. i own both and hope you get a chance to review them if you have not already. 🦉

A small modification can reduce the weight of this tool and bring it close to the Gerber.

I think in this case better than the original. My reason for a 'knock off' or 'look alike' is overseas backpacking trips where you don't know the laws. If customs confiscate your 150 dollar Leatherman Wave you're off on a bad start compared to my 25 dollar (free delivery to my door) China tool (no brand name) that's build like the Wave but actually has more tools and all locking. The tools, clip and pouch are all sturdy. The pliers have no play and replacable wire cutters. On the outside it has a straight edge sheepfoot blade (less agressive looking), woodsaw, metal file and scissors and all are full size with liner locks. On the inside the other tools with a differnt locking system. The philips head is 3D so you can use an adaper set. The tool is rather heavy because of the heavy duty build but not a problem for in my backpack.

我有这个包，ccw的zipper坏了，质量太差😂

On a tight budget a Milwaukee fast back utility knife/driver, slip joint pliars, and SAK knife of your choice be a better system IMO vs a multi tool. I do own a couple leatherman tools I've had for years that I use and enjoy. 2024 leatherman have gotten crazy expensive. Thanks Aaron for a good review. Take care. 🇺🇲🔪🌲🔥

I get where you're going with these Leatherman/Gerber clones. My Leatherman Surge is built like a tank and nearly as heavy. But not everyone can afford it or need something that massive. These inexpensive multi-tools definitely meet a need for lighter duty, affordable tools that can handle a lot of tasks without carrying a toolbox everywhere you go. The Rocktol 12 in 1 you reviewed a while back is a great example. Surprisingly, I use my small $25 Leatherman Micra more for incidental stuff than the larger multi-tools. The drivers work for the small tasks and the scissors are better than what comes on the bigger tools. I just don't need a pair of pliers all that often and when I do I go out to the SUV and get my Surge. No way I'm lugging it around in my pocket.

That kershaw is a sweet knife

It's an urban minimalist edc. A nice back up tool. Nothing else . Not a primary tool.

Imagine after each video cut he brings out a new one lol

In Canada its $80 plus tax and shipping so $90.40 mine came to. Can't wait to use mine.

cool that it,s that cheap ,looks good 👍

Was hoping I can have a kukri shape with a sabre grind but you can't change blade shape (at least when I tried unless I'm missing something), it's default on drop point and no coating options. Meh, not for me.

Yeah my Gerber Suspensions both of them the pocket clip got wanky on me

I just got a Rocktol with the fire starter on it I broke a Gerber suspension cutting chainlink fence so I bought a new one and now it’s in a bag lost somewhere around here lol That’s why when I seen you review the Rocktol I had to get one ☝🏼

I'd still rather go to a Pawnbroker and buy a secondhand Leatherman 👍 This thing looks full of sharp angles and hot spots....

Never owned a Leatherman the only thing I've ever owned is gerber

Why keep buying Gerber? It’s literally gas station quality knives n tools

I was expecting another bad knock of from China, but in fact looks really good

Hey Aron, I have much respect for you bro, but I will never again buy a Gerber product and I haven’t in over twenty years. I bought a few Gerber products many years ago and none of them lasted more than a few months, including three multitools. Their quality is sub par to the extreme. My Leathermans just keep on going. It’s far less expensive to just buy the Leatherman in the long run and you don’t have to worry about failures.

Great review Arron ,, but as for myself I’ll stick with all my USA made Leathermans 👍👍

Good value for sure

What watch are you rocking in this video?

It’s way cheaper to buy an Esee. Plus you get Esee’s incredible warranty. I built some of their knives on their website and feel like Architect is a giant price gouge compared to the competition.

The best thing, in my opinion, about the recent Gerber multi tools is the sheath. I use the extra straps to put the sheath on my belt horizontally, straddling a belt loop so it won't slide around. Then I put my Leatherman in it!!

G'day Aaron, goes to show how much mark up there often is on mass produced products and for the sake of a coupla tweaks, a shipload more sales, outweighs the cost of the extra effort to start with. Incidentally, a mate of mine picked up a ripper cheapie in the specials bin at one of our outdoor chains for 5, yes 5, I'll say it again 5 AUD, (around 3 USD). Unfortunately unbranded and unpackaged, no model, serial number, to be found, not even a "made in" from memory, (fair bet, alphabet steel from NW of Taiwan, the blade reminded me of 8Cr, which aint too bad), ultimately, I couldn't tell ya what it was. And nor could the sales staff, I went back for one a coupla days later, but alas all gone, (I reckon word had got out), and no clue from behind the counter, ...... not that they'd admit anyway ; ) As far as multitools go, it was one of the better designs, build and ergos I've ever seen with about half the tools liner locking and no play anywhere, ...... at least as new ; ) Main point is; yes there's plenty of rubbish to ferret through, ............ but dont ignore the specials bin !!! Cheers Duke.

awesome review , however here in the UK the amazon link you put up wont ship to my country , would there be any way you could supply British Amazon links??

Flissa and other brands have knockoffs of the Wave for fairly cheap. Not as high quality as Leatherman but not bad, especially for backups.

Why is this ging' screaming tactical, but it seems he never experienced a tactical situation in his life? Am I mistaken?

I went with the F4 scandi and F6. Seems like the perfect pairing.

If it's not either a Leatherman or a victorinox swiss tool, you're pretty much wasting your time, and your money too. Leatherman and victorinox are king 👑👑.

Lmao!!! This is very old & no doubt, you could answer your own questions concerning the function of some of the tools if you were to revisit this review... To answer a couple of your questions... What you called doors are covers. Their purpose is to make using the pliers comfortable. With almost every multi-tool out there, using the pliers is very uncomfortable due to the sharp nature of the metal frame. The SOG multi-tool would be even more uncomfortable without those covers because of the geared pliers. Geared pliers are much stronger & less prone to breakage. So, thank SOG for those geared pliers & the covers.

i think leatherman is in real trouble- I have a bibury and have had good luck with it. I have a Gerber as well but not this model

Great review! That's a lot of tool for the price.

Kool...I paided 17 for the flissa with g10 scales pretty amazing what's going on in our space right now

I personally hated the gerber suspension and nxt... their tolerances and quality were terrible compared to leatherman

Nice (and valuable) review!! Thanks very much!

1. great review 2. I am older. When the multitools were not available, the late Ron Hood and I had a disagreement about which SAK to buy at the low end as a "pre Leatherman multitool". He wanted a wood saw. I wanted a scissors. The Huntsman model was the SAK knife that had both features. 3. I have multiple Leatherman Wave tools: in the car, in the dance shoe bag, in a suit case and at home. 4. If I were starting over, I went pick a Chinese leatherman like tool with a scissors as my backups and occasional use tools.

I bought three suspensions for my kids. They are garbage when trying to use the pliers. The grip is way too wide for small hands to grip. If you have banana hands, fine. But normal hands or smaller hands, they suck!!

brotha i own n use a mossy oak multi-tool here , great n solid backup option + i own 2 others for e.d.c. i rotate time to time + harbor freight just came out with a gordon multi-tool , ie leatherman wave clone for 40 $ , thanks n great vid n keep em coming > tom !

The name is bond Leatherman bond 😜

The Harbor Freight Gordon Leatherman wave clone is pretty good for $40

Half empty bottle is noisy.. Won't work for hunting.. I still love the channel ❤👍

$16 wow someone’s running a slave shop 😂 I’ll stick with American made (Leatherman) 😃

Hi Aaron. If you could only own either an ESEE-6 or a Ka-Bar Jarosz Turok, which would you choose?

No thanks I'm only looking for knives with FULL TANG knives not skelotonized tangs

Even thin pliers, basically the scissors without being ground down, sort of like SAK pliers, might be useful with no changes to the tool. I mean why not offer two models. Sure they wouldn't be heavy duty pliers but you don't always need heavy duty pliers. Slim needle nose pliers have their place.

I carry a Boker automatic knife I purchased half-price from BladeHQ for $40 and it has a D2 blade...and I absolutely beat on this knife daily. Love it and now I'm going to buy the Roxon tool!

That HAAAAYYYYY ON 2:43 😂😂😂😂
