Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 05500 MP400 Compact Sport Multi-function Tool
Customer Review: Some flaws. Ok for the money
Summary: 3 Stars
For the money it's an ok tool, with the following cons:
- There's no spring for the pliers, you gotta move it both directions to open and close.. this wouldn't
be such a problem if it all moved smoothly.. which brings us to..
- Everything moves so stiff, I know some reviewers stated this as being precision in manufacturing.. but from
practical point of view, it makes it annoying to use.
- The pliers don't retract flush into the body, the tip points out making it uncomfortable to use other tools.
- The handles kind of flex under stress.
- Lock mechanism for other tools feels very flimsy.
For the money I don't expect too much, but the flaws are pretty annoying for me to recommend wholeheartedly.

About the Compact Sport Multi-Plier Multitool
Gerber's Compact Sport Multi-Plier can best be described as the lighter, tighter version of Gerber's 600-series multitools -- but it's no less useful and versatile. This ultra-compact workhorse brings together all the functionality and performance of its big brother, with stainless steel hardware and Fiskars scissors that come tough enough to tear through seatbelts.

Stay safe, and stay ready for anything -- on the road, around the house, at the lake, or in the woods.

Gerber's History of Ingenuity
Savvy. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that 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 backpack hydration.
