Gear 31-001134 Dime Micro Tool,One Size

I have been carrying this everywhere with me since I purchased it. The diminutive size make it incredibly convenient to carry. Closed, the dime is smaller than my pinkie. Pros: The pliers are usable for small things. The blister pack blade is very useful for opening blister packs, taped boxes, etc. The pointed screwdriver tip (I think they call it a cross head driver) works great for phillips head screws, and is slightly flattened at the tip and can be used as a small flat tip screw driver. The flat tip screwdriver is effective as well. The bottle cap opener is great and is super handy to have with you all the time. The tweezers work and actually stay inside the tool. Growing up I used to have several Swiss army knvies and the tweezers always fell out. The tweezers on the dime have to be pulled out. Cons: The scissors are fairly useless. In Between: The dime has a rounded blade. This is fine but I really prefer serrated or partially serrated blades. This is a preference thing as many people don't care for serrated blades. Summary: I highly recommend this tool and would buy it again if I lose this one.

My husband is a gadget guy. He loves his big power tools but he's always on the hunt for compact, useful tools that are easy to transport and store, so when he came across the Gerber Micro Dime, he had to have it. At 2 oz & just over 3” long when folded, he drops it into his pocket every morning along with his wallet and keys. He likes it so much he's now giving them as gifts to our kids and he gave me one to keep in my car. Recently I had to open a compartment in the cargo space of my SUV that was stuck shut. Since I was away from home and traveling alone, the Gerber Dime came to my rescue. Between the pliers and flathead screwdriver, I was able to get it open without too much frustration. This little tool is versatile, compact & an excellent price. I know I won’t be without it in my car and highly recommend it to everyone. It gives my husband peace of mind knowing I’ve got one (along with all my other emergency gear) which is priceless to him, and at a price point of under $28, it’s easy on the wallet.

I was hesitant to order this item because of a lot of different reviews I watched and read. I am happy that I went ahead and ordered it. The size is perfect for a pocket multi-tool. It is not awkward in my pocket and fits perfectly on a small carabiner to hang off the MOLLE webbing of my bag. I have a full sized Gerber multi-tool that I keep in my EDC bag but I like having this easily accessible tool. It is not going to hold up against the really hard jobs but for a quick fix or easy job this is perfect. As a lot of reviews state the tools are in very tight but I do not find them to be too tight. I my opinion, the tight feel also makes it feel sturdier. I do not feel like the unit is going to fall apart when I use it or close on my hand. I will be buying a few more of these to keep in various places. I would recommend this item to anyone who asked but you need to keep in mind what you are buying. This is a micro tool not a full sized multi-tool. You cannot expect it to hold up to the same demands as a multi-tool.

I bought this because I currently own a Leatherman Squirt Ps4 and things like the file and blade feel fragile on it so I was looking for something sturdier. Here is how the Dime compares: Pliers - I like the spring loaded feature but don't really feel it is needed given the weight pliers of this size can handle. I feel like the Leatherman needle nose pliers have a finer grip but that could just be in my head. File - I love the file tool and this seriously let me down. The fine side is largely blocked by the keychain ring and the coarse side is very small as the file is added to a half sized screwdriver tool and both are not very abrasive (the coarse one might as well not even be there and the fine one is blocked so it is super annoying to use). Package opener - The squirt ps4 does not have one at all, and it is useful for opening packages (especially things right up against the box/envelope/plastic blister packages) however I would much rather have the leatherman full sized diamond file which can even put an alright edge on a knife in the field. Scissors - I have had leatherman scissors have plastic food bags (I work in a bakery so I open a lot of them and the full sized scissors are always missing) have the plastic go sideways on me between the blades and not cut. The gerber scissors do not get that problem but are not as sharp. Bottle opener - The typical leatherman foldout bottle opener works fine imo and the gerber one just stick out 24/7, adds a bit of clutter/weight, and largely just bugs me because it is always there, in the way. Tweezers - this is such a welcome addition that I frankly have no clue why leatherman does not include. That being said they are not very good but better than nothing. Considering they weigh nothing it is not a big deal to get an awesome keychain pair from countycomm. Blade - The gerber blade is slightly shorter than the letherman blade and it is hardly worth mentioning except they are already very small blades. The gerber blade definitely feels a good bit harder to break than the leatherman blade (the leatherman blade and file both have a lot of bend to them). The leatherman blade is far sharper than the gerber blade though. Screws - this is actually a huge deal and a major oversight on the part of leatherman in my opinion but the gerber tool can be taken apart and cleaned/have broken tools replaced or tightened and the leatherman can not. Finish - the finish on both will wear off and has what is in my opinion an awesome rugged look they develop. The leatherman does wear much less and the gerber even has a hotspot opening where it scrapes against itself. Not an issue at all either way to me. Overall: This is a very good multitool for the keychain size and ultimately I feel the leatherman squirt ps4 would be ideal if it were simply sturdier meanwhile the gerber dime has tools that are just not at the same quality level as leatherman or as user friendly in design but it seems like it will take more abuse. I feel this makes the squirt a better buy even if it is more expensive by a tad. ($6 more + the cost of tweezers). Depending on what you prioritize though the Geber may be a better buy for you.

This item is great. It is unusual to have a pocket utility as useful as this one. It has both pliers and scissors and it is still small enough to not be a huge lump in your pocket. It also has a sort of diamond shaped blade (in addition to the normal knife blade) only sharpened at the very tip. I have found this to be extremely useful in opening those clam shell boxes and lessening the danger of cutting myself. It is also great for a multitude of other thing from opening mail to zipping open packages with that extremely tough plastic wrap tape. It has the usual Plilips head and flat head screwdrivers. Another item that has been extremely useful is the bottle opener piece at the end of the utility knife. Do you have to change those heating and AC filters that have the pry out prongs? When this little opener is a champ at doing that - no more breaking your fingernails or accidentally skinning your fingers - works great. I could go on and on about this knife / utility but the price and utility of it are phenomenal - do yourself a favor and buy one. I don't think you'll be sorry....

I laugh at how many videos and opinions there are out there about EDC (Every Day Carry) gear out there. Guys emptying their pockets and explaining in depth what each item might be used for. This Gerber Dime, you will use EVERY day, unless of course you have on office job sitting at a computer all day. It's functionality is amazing. A pocket knife is extremely versatile and can be used in many ways. But one thing a good knife CANNOT do....is double as pliers. I cannot count how many times I've need pliers for something simple, and used the Dime to accomplish it. Nor can I count how many times someone around me need a plier function, and I toss it to them to use. The scissors are obviously an excellent addition to the tool there are times scissors are safer than just using a blade. I rarely use the knife blade, as anyone carrying a mini multi-tool will likely have a separate pocket knife that's bigger and easier to handle. Occasionally I have used the tweezers which is purely a bonus. Overall, I can honestly say the Gerber Dime is as important as my car keys. I would argue with a flashlight, knife, and the Dime, you're good to go in almost any scenario. If not, then bring a backpack and chest rig.

I really needed a small, very lightweight, multi-tool for EDC in an urban or work environment. Years ago, I purchased a cheap (no brand) version of this and the pliers snapped just below the plier jaw pivot on the first use. So I was leery of the usefulness of even name brand micro tools, and did a lot of online research and read a lot of reviews. I own 3 assorted full size and medium leather- man tools, but this is my first Gerber. I was impressed by the reviews on this particular tool. It also contained just what I actually needed or actually use daily. NOTE: I really didn't feel the need for the tiny scissors or the bottle opener, but they came with it and really didn't seem to affect the size or weight I was looking for. I truly love the design of the knife with the blunt tip. I have used the box opener on a stubborn plastic blister package and it worked very well. I haven't used the scissors yet but I expect the need will arise someday. I really do like the pliers though. The jaws are nice and precise. The splinter or tick remover was a nice bonus. So far I have used the tool at least once every day for something and it has not failed to do anything I wanted it to do. I hung a square knot lanyard off of the bottle opener so it doesn't get lost in my pocket.

Had this little guy for close to a year now. I've had it on my key ring and it goes with me everywhere. Great little multi-tool with lots of useful stuff. I probably use the little box opener hook the most, followed by the knife blade, nice metal tweezers, pliers, and bottle opener. The blade is no substitution for a good folding knife, but it can do the little things when you can't have a knife on you Very reliable and very durable. Half the paint has worn off of mine after all the use, but it still works like a charm!

Looks nice and have the tools you need the most. This fits in my pocket and will be my new “closet tool”.

Sta in tasca senza dare alcun fastidio. Prodotto di qualità. Anche dopo anni di utilizzo giornaliero funziona ancora tutto alla perfezione.

Man sieht anhand der Produktabbildung eh, was da alles dabei ist. Hier daher nur mein Kommentar: ○ Kapselheber sind für mich verzichtbar. Der hier, eine Art Bügel, eignet sich aber auch hervorragend zum Öffnen von störrischen Schraubgläsern. Und: Ich hänge das Dingens damit an einen Karabiner, weil wenn man das mit der Öse am Schlüsselbund trägt, wird das ein Gefummel, wenn man die Werkzeuge nutzen möchte. ○ Die Klinge fixiert natürlich nicht, rastet aber deutlich ein. Und da die Schneide auch noch länger als die Klinge ist, die verläuft in einem Bogen über die Klingenspitze, kann man sich kaum damit verletzen, die Klinge klappt nicht so leicht zu. Jausenmesser ist das natürlich nicht, dazu ist es viel zu klein. Dafür wird man es überall mitnehmen können, mit der Klinge kann man auch nicht stechen. Um ein weiteres Messer komme ich daher nicht herum, und auch wenn die meiste Multitools halbwegs passable Messer haben, mag ich nicht mit so einem klobigen Tool mein Essen schneiden, abgesehen davon, dass der klebrige Saft die Mechanik verklebt. ○ Will man Kartons aufschneiden - besser mit der Aufreißklinge, denn die ist so geformt, dass man damit den Pakungsinhalt schwerlich beschädigen kann. Im Gegensatz zu einem Messer. ○ Die Schere ist natürlich sehr scharf, aber eben so klein, wie bei anderen Multitools auch. Das ergibt einen stumpfen Winkel, und man kann dadurch dickere Dinge wie Paracord o.ä. mit alldem nicht vernünftig schneiden, und auch nicht Dinge wie Stoff. Zumindest ich nicht. Es hilft, wenn man das auf Spannung bringt, dafür bräuchte man aber eine dritte Hand oder einen Zweiten. Die Niete ist nicht geschwärzt, sondern als heller Punkt auch sichtbar, wenn das Tool zugeklappt ist. Ich finde das toll, weil man dadurch nicht lange herumfummeln muss, um das gesuchte Werkzeu zu finden, man kann sich das leicht merken wo was ist. ○ An der bzw. den Feilen, eine grob, eine fein, findet sich ein ca. 2 mm Schlitzschraubenzieher. Obwohl man sich die Nägel damit feilen kann, empfehle ich nicht, diese "Spitze" zum Reinigen derselben zu verwenden, die ist zu scharf. Der breite Schraubenzieher eignet sich gut zum Schaben. ○ Das Werkzeug kommt gut geölt, ist aber ziemlich schwergängig. Das kann besser werden, wenn man es oft verwendet, und schlechter, wenn man es in der Tasche trägt, und bei der Mechanik dann Staub im Getriebe ist. Man kann die Spannung aber mit den Kreuzschlitzschrauben einstellen. Es damit für eine Komplettreinigung zu zerlegen, habe ich mich noch nicht getraut. ○ Eine Pinzette gibt es auch noch, und das sind nicht nur zwei labrige Metallstreifen, sondern die sind vorne geknickt, sodass man viel mehr Kraft anwenden kann, wenn man z.? einen Span aus der Haut ziehen möchte. Alles in allem bin ich hochzufrieden damit.

This is really a small brother of Swiss Army Knife!

思っていたよりもコンパクトサイズでした。しかし、コンパクトが故に持ち運びがしやすくてとても良いです！そして、刃物系の切れ味が意外と良く、スパスパ切れます！値段相応だと思います！
