Gerber MP600 Bladeless Multi Tool

Product Information

The Gerber MP600 is a military multi tool that is also fairly useful around the house. It’s got interesting features and is a durable, well made tool. I used to joke that you could center your entire collection on MP600's and probably never get all the variants.... well, it seems that statement is a bit more accurate than I thought!

The DET isn’t something most people will need. For the highly trained men and women of the US armed forces who do need it though, it’s a useful and well designed multi tool. Gerber mp600 Review For both the plain and serrated edge blades, the edge retention was quite good. I cut up all sorts of cardboard and fibrous materials and both of the blades are still fairly sharp. The serrated blade is patterned in such a way that you’re not relying on the same common edge when cutting. There’s a benefit to having a pattern like this—it’s called longevity. All in all the Gerber MP600 is a pretty good multi tool that falls just short of great. For its price we still think the MP600 is a good value. Its sturdy, has a tool loadout for just about any user, and looks sharp. This is a handy-person's dream. It's sharp lines and bulkier carry make it less appealing for every day carry, but the pure function and unique one-handed pliers engagement will make it perfect for the mechanic or home improver. ValueNo multi tool would be complete without optional accessories. In Gerber’s case there are some that can really amplify the value of your multi tool. Interchangeable and replaceable saw blade attachment (where RemGrit saw blade is currently mounted). The saw blade can be replaced with any 2-inch (or 5cm) universal jigsaw blade. The Gerber Center Drive is clearly designed with the handyperson in mind. It uses Gerber’s one handed open plier design along with an outside accessible knife blade and bit driver. The central draw of the Center Drive is the full size bit driver. It extends out several inches and lets you get the functionality of a regular bit screwdriver in a multi tool.

This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items. Gerber doesn’t have any bit drivers in their MP600 line but they do offer an interesting accessory to get around this. More on that below. Can Opener, Bottle Opener, File As with their approach with form, Gerber isn’t going out of their way to make the needlenose pliers and wire cutters anything more than what they should be. They function great, but the wire cutters could benefit from being replaceable (which can be found on other models of the Gerber MP 600 line). Designed expressly for the unique needs of industrial facilities, hospitals, and other similar institutions that limit the kinds of items people carry on their bodies, this do-it-all tool helps ensure safety in the workplace, while still giving you the benefit of this industrial-strength MP’s muscular multitude of tools. Its needle nose pliers work when you require a precise point that can grab fine elements in small spaces, while its one-handed open greatly simplifies a wide array of tasks. It contains rotatable, replaceable Tungsten Carbide wire cutters for use in snipping a variety of stubborn wires. This smart MP600 also holds a brawny, removable RemGrit saw, so you can take it along or simply take it out, giving you maximum flexibility with the tool in just about any situation. MP600 BASIC07505G0-13658-07505-4Multi-Plier 600 - Bluntnose Stainless w/ Carbide Insert Cutters, Leather SheathBoxThe design of the MP600 makes the ruler less useful that it would be on a traditional butterfly open multi tool. It just comes down to the overall length of the tool’s body. The ruler is 8 cm/ 3 inches long depending on the side you’re looking at. Your right it's almost all new exclusive tools. I misspoke. What I meant to say isn't so much that the "Center Drive is half-MP600" and more that "Gerber likes to reuse components and engineering when possible". With the Gerber MP600 Pro Scout, you will get a unique, single-handed opening plier design containing easy to access internal tools, including the ones already mentioned. It does not have the usual traditional butterfly fold. What it has, instead, is a pair of pliers that slid up from the primary body. Stainless steel” is a broad term for steels that have different elements that prohibit corrosion—or lower quantities of iron, carbon, etc. In this case, I am not sure on what part of the spectrum this stainless steel falls on, but it held up exceedingly well in all submersion tests. When you are ready to replace the blade (or it is worn out), you can swap it with a choice of blades that are designed for different types of materials – wood, metal, plastics, etc.

Non-replaceable wire cutters, the standard Gerber 600’s wire cutters can be replaced once you dull them or notch them up from use. MP600 BASIC07535G0-13658-07535-1Multi-Plier 600 - Needlenose Stainless w/ Carbide Insert Cutters, Leather SheathBox Nor is it counting the MP400's, MP700's, MP800's or anything else in the Multiplier series, or the current issue Center Drive!The Gerber MP600 Sight Tool includes the standard tool loadout of the MP600 with just a few tweaks. It’s designed to provide the perfect tool for infantry, police, and firearms enthusiasts everywhere. The namesake tool of this multi tool is the M4/M15/AR15 sight adjuster tool. I also noticed how easy it is to maintain each one. Generally, it is capable of offering all the things that anyone wants to get from a multi-tool knife blade. Can and Bottle Openers I would have given this tool a 9 for over-all durability if it were stainless. The coating, which falls under this category, has kept it off of the throne. This makes for a very versatile and adaptable tool, but only if you can deal with a single multi-edged knife (1 inch of a standard knife and the remainder being serrated) and non-replaceable wire-cutters.

I can accept the cons of this multi-tool, especially when I can carry separate wood and steel cutting jigsaw blades to complement the RemGrit blade. Replaceable wire-cutters would have been nice, but honestly, what other tool comes with those, except the Gerber 600.The RemGrit blades are pretty good at sawing through plastics and thin pieces of metal. Overall we found it to be a neat feature but one that we rarely called upon. The Pro Scout is only available with needle nose pliers and standard wire cutters, which we think says interesting things about Gerber’s triangular replaceable blades. The MP600 is 4.9 inches long closed and comes in at 9 oz. That’s a little larger and heavier than some other full size multi tools but not too bulky overall. One of the really interesting things about the MP600 is how adaptable it is. Currently Gerber offers close to 20 different versions of this tool, with different configurations of plier types, finish, tool loadout, and intended use. Gerber mp600 Tools You can also find versions of this product that come with replaceable tungsten carbide blades featuring a triangular design. This blade works perfectly for wires that are stubborn and difficult to cut. The needle nose pliers are also among the most valuable components of this Gerber multi-tool. It has a tip, which is small enough that it can handle more precise tasks, like getting rid of splinters and bending fish hooks. It provides an extra grip, thanks to its beak, which has small serrations to enhance it even further.
