Gear 47550N MP600 Needle Nose Pliers Multitool Multi-Plier, Black

Smooth and Easy to open and close. Nice case and nice carry position.

I've been a big fan of the MP600's platform, and this model is no exception to my feelings. Liking that although is marketed as a needle-nose, it is not as thin/"pointed" as the regular (non removable, casted in cutter) head kind of an in-between blunt and needle nose heads. Having read about the "exploding" cutters, I've found that I can use the cutters to "notch in" the hard wire and then bend with the pliers to cut it; has work really well for at least my last 25 cuts (garden work; bicycle jobs). One feature I like of the design versus Leatherman's, is that if the cutters "chew and bend" a wire, I'm still able to pull apart the handles and free the wire ( with my Waves, Revs, and PSTII I'll need a tool to separate the pliers jaws as the handle would buckle; and yes, plural!). There are still a great variety of u shank for the exchanger, and I carry a couple within the tool's sheath mostly for metal and wood, with varying lengths. The scissors have been great also, and are relatively comfortable to use. And, since I complemented it with the Leatherman Removable Bit Driver Kit (fits perfectly) and my homemade awl bit, I have the perfect set to tackle any errands at work (both are no-knife-policy environments: school based, and outpatient clinic; I'm an occupational therapist). A very solid tool! 2-month review After two months of almost daily use, I've managed to chip one of the cutters; as I tried to remove a finishing nail, the pliers twisted and closed, and the distal end of the cutters (the one closer to the bolt/nut jaws) hit each other with the aforementioned result. Still a 5-star for the tool, as it works as it should. Ordered a replacement cutters set, as I can only guess when the chipped cutter will finally breaks. Hope someone would sell replacement cutters out of tool steel or even stainless steel like the Leatherman's, which would still work even if nicked and easily fixed to working condition with a file ( not to mention that it'll be three-sided!).

Good tool as expected, use it every day.

I bought the original design of this tool decades ago when it first came out. Great tool, with one flaw back then. It did not hold up well cutting steel wire. Well that was 30+ years ago. I bought a new one, and was just suprised and delighted to see Gerber made a great classic BETTER. Carbide cutting inserts, for cutting steel wire ! ( like fencing wire, coat hangars etc ) On top of that, the carbide inserts are 3 sided, so if worn, just loosed with included tool, and rotate the insert to a fresh blade. I am a retired Master Mechanic, now in Landscaping. I have wanted another blunt pliar Gerber for 20-something years, and voila ! Gerber EXCEEDED expectations ! I seldom rave in Reviews unless excellence is found. Here you go ! If you need a handy belt multi tool, buy the BEST, get a Gerber ! Buy This Tool ! Great tool, built to give service for a lifetime. ( Ladies: buy your man this ! )

i find the MP600 very functional. i can see many uses in my life for this. i esp love the price, i got it for $40! nothing else on the market can beat that price. looking at the MP600 i now understand why this is used by the military. it's cheap, will get the job done, and it wont bankrupt the military. another reason why i like this price is b/c i can easily replace it if i break it or lose it. i have another multi tool that i bought around $100, and i am reluctant to use it b/c i don't want to risk losing it or damaging it b/c it's so expensive. it's like driving your Corvette on the mud, why would anyone do that?! but with the MP600, i am more comfortable to use it b/c it's only $40 and if anything happens to it i can always buy another one which i can do b/c it's affordable. the MP600 looks like a multi tool that people in the police or the military would use. other multi tools doesn't have that "military look" to them like the MP600 does. this is also a blade less multi tool which i was looking for. i have never been a fan of knives in multi tools b/c they aren't as good as my pocket knife. i always carry a good quality pocket knife w/me anyways so i don't need or even want to have knives in my multi tools. some people complain about the wire cutters, but i don't understand why. the wire cutters on the MP600 is removable, so if you don't like it you can buy a better wire cutter from Gerber. i know they have steel wire cutters that you can buy which is much better than the ones that comes standard on the MP600. i don't use the wire cutters that much anyways so this doesn't bother me. another complaint that people have about the MP600 is the lubrication. the MP600 comes heavily lubricated and i don't know why this is a surprise to most people. if you are an experienced gun owner, or even a knife owner, you will know that they come heavily lubricated. this is to protect the guns and knives from dirt and long term storage. when i bought my shotgun, it was covered in lubrication. i have to clean it and i even had to remove the trigger assembly and clean the lubrication off of that as well. some thing w/some of my knives it comes lubricated. just clean it off. for the MP600, i used Remington oil wipes to clean it. i use these oil wipes to clean my guns and knives but you can also use them to clean multi tools as well. i just have one problem w/the MP600. some of the screwdrivers are very difficult to pull out. it feels like they are stuck too tightly togther. i had to struggle getting them out for use. so instead of complaining online, i took out my Remington Rem Oil and gave the MP600 a few drops to loosen up the screwdrivers. now they swing open w/ease. remember, you must clean the MP600 before you use it. you can get Remington oil wipes and the Rem Oil from walmart in the gun section or your local gun stores. they sell them. another thing i hate about the MP600 is the sheath. gosh it looks ugly. i already bought a better 3rd party sheath so it's no big deal. i can't wait to get it so i can start carrying this MP600. i recommend the MP600 if you are looking for a affordable good bang for your buck blade less MADE IN USE multi tool.

I had a Gerber multi tool before until my tools were stolen so I purchase a new one and it's better than the other one I had. So I would recommend it to anyone.

Bought as a replacement for a Leatherman PST2 this ticks all the boxes for toughness and all round utility. It comes with a well made holder and was sharp straight from the box. The only issue I have with it is that like most other large multi tools it may fall foul of the UKs locking knife laws if carried in public places.

J'ai eu le même il y longtemps et toujours satisfait

As a Handy man, you've got to have one of these- The quality is there, plus its one of those slim type multitool to have.

La GEBER M-P 600 BLUNTNOSE de acero inoxidable es una fantástica multiherramienta. Sus alicates son fácilmente desplegables con una sola mano y cuenta con cortadores de alambre de carburo de tungsteno reemplazables, si se desafilan o se deforman, simplemente se giran 120 grados y se coloca uno nuevo, permitiendo tres rotaciones. Estas puntas de alicate son muy robustas y trabajar con ellas es igual que hacerlo con unos alicates normales. Para usar las demás herramientas hay que desplegar primero los alicates y luego plegarlos de nuevo. Pero una vez seleccionada la herramienta concreta, ésta queda bloqueada gracias a un potente y robusto muelle. Los atornilladores son algo cortos, pero nos sacarán de más de un apuro cuando no dispongamos de unos. Cuenta con una funda para colgar del cinturón, es de nylon de color negro, abre y cierra con un velcro, no parece de mucha calidad y me da la sensación que de se deteriorará pronto. En resumen, la Multi norteamericana es de muy buena calidad de construcción y durará mucho tiempo, siempre que la utilicemos de forma adecuada.
