The Compact is unmatched in strength, durability, and ease of use. Featuring legendary Gerber blades, it's a smaller multi-function tool with full-size performance designed specifically for those who want less mass to carry around.
Be Ready for Anything with Multiple Tools
Whether you're at home or on the road, camping in the woods or fishing on the lake, the Compact can help keep you safe and ready for whatever comes your way. Its range of tools includes needle nose pliers, Fiskars scissors, a wire cutter, a wire crimper, a serrated knife blade, a variety of screwdrivers, can and bottle openers, and more.
The scissors are strong enough to cut through heavy-duty materials like seat belt webbing and denim, while the patented one-handed, flick-of-the-wrist operation of the pliers gives you more options in tight or narrow spaces, and in situations where you need to hold an object in one hand and the pliers in the other.
Patented Locking System for Security
For added peace of mind, the Compact features a patented Saf.T.Plus locking system to keep everything secure when not in operation. And it all adapts easily to the Gerber Tool Kit.
Lightweight Design for Portability and Storage
Ultra-compact at 5.75 inches long with a width of 1.2 inches, and weighing only 6 ounces, the Compact lives up to its name and is easy to toss in a backpack, drawer, purse, glove compartment, or even a pocket.
The Compact is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
About Gerber: A History of Innovation
Savvy. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that have contributed to Gerber's emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910, and one Christmas, he hired a local knife-maker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939.
It makes sense, really. An idea man gets the idea of a lifetime and turns it into a major outdoor brand--one that commands respect among knife lovers and knife makers alike. And now that same high regard is spreading in new directions, in the form of many outstanding products such as tools, personal L.E.D. lighting, and more.

Customer Review: Great Gerber Tool
Summary: 5 Stars
I got used to carrying a pliers when growing up in the country and would say this is the next step up in useful tools.
I have carried the 600 version of this multi-tool for over 14 years and have had no problems with it. I like it so well that when I had the chance to pick up the 400, I jumped on it. The intended use for this one is a glove box tool for my truck. The main difference between the two is the 400 doesn't have a saw blade. I also have several Swiss Army Knives and the original Leatherman (also a really good tool). I prefer the Gerber of this series because of the sliding pliers and the locking implements, which the Swiss Army knives don't have. The Gerber locks are also better than the ones on my Leatherman. For the price, I don't think you can find a better tool. Mine is on my belt every time I go any place other than work (can't carry it there). The pliers are the most used on mine, then the knife. I put the knife blade on the crock stones once or twice a week and it stays shaving sharp. The can opener is also an often used item, when fishing or camping. It is very well made IMO and compares well to tools twice as expensive. Now the Leatherman is out of the glove box and will do home repair duty.
One thing on the Gerber, though. I see several reviews stating the need for oil on the jaws and slide. I have never had this issue, but have found that if you squeeze the handle together they open harder. The fix for me was to use a looser grip on the handle when flicking my wrist to open them. Silicon spray seems to work better than WD-40 or oil, too. Anyway a great tool at a reasonable price.
