Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gerber 22-45509 Compact Sport Multi-Plier with Sheath, Black
Customer Review: If you've had Gerber multitools from 10-15 years ago, prepare to be disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars
I have a Gerber multi-tool from the early 90's. As far as functionality, they are essentially the same. A lot of people have trust in Gerber from these tools of this era and they were very popular. It still works to this day with literally thousands of uses.
But I wanted a new one because even that one is getting a little worn. I understand this is the compact version, not their top of the line, but the difference is drastic. The gauge of the steel is much thinner than the old Gerbers, it almost feels flimsy. I would NOT trust putting any kind of real pressure on the pliers.
I played with the 600 series at a store just to see if this was a nerfed model, and while they were better, still fell victim to the same problems.
That said, if you haven't been spoiled by higher quality early models like I have, these are still good and functional tools. They do exactly what they are supposed to. I am just sad to see how "lightweight" the construction has gotten. I could not consider this a lifetime tool anymore.
Also, the knife is completely different, the knife edge is completely straight. The one in the picture is the knife that Gerber's have always had but I guess they updated it. It looks silly, but it probably works just as well.
Description of Gerber 22-45509 Compact Sport Multi-Plier with Sheath, Black
There is justice in the world of Gerber multi-tools. Because while the Compact Sport may be the smaller, less formidable version of our Multi-Plier 600 series, this Multi-Plier 400 series compensates by being our most popular tool. This is no small victory. After all, our ultra compact workhorse brings all the same functionality and rugged performance characteristics of its big brother. Thanks to its stainless steel hardware. And its Fiskars scissors, which have the wherewithal to cut through seat belts. And thanks, as well, to the patented design of its one-handed opening pliers. The Compact is unmatched for strength, durability and ease of use. Our patented Saf.T.Plus locking system is your assurance that this little guy more than holds its own in the name of user safety. That is to say, your safety.

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
