Product Description

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. Strong, durable, and easy to use, the Compact Sport boasts one-handed opening pliers and the Saf.T.Plus locking system to keep everything secure when not in operation. 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.

Customer Reviews

Quality not as good as before: I have had one of these for several years, and I love it. However, this one I just received was a complete disappointment. The jaw had interference when closing it, at the wire cutter area. Also, it felt very gritty, like it was tossed around in fine dirt. I also think the case is too big - bigger than the one I currently… More reviews

Great tool w/only a few slight flaws: I used to own the Gerber Diesel multi-plier. However, it was just too large and bulky for what I needed it for. The tool itself was fantastic. I loved everything about it except for the size.
Well, I fixed that problem by replacing it with the smaller "Compact Sport". This is perfect. The size and weight are very reasonable, and… More reviews

tried and true: used mine multiple times every single day in iraq, 15 months - every single day. its worn down and the knife is sorta broken off, but it;s all good still works just fine. i love it. can definitely take a beating, highly recommend. More reviews

It is what it is - and it's nice: I bought one of these as a gift for my wife a few years ago. She really liked my L-Man Wave but complained it was too large & heavy (small hands). I shopped around and decided that Gerber's Compact Sport (weighing a little over 6 oz) would be a nice choice for her. I recall that it was well regarded then, as it continues to be now. This one has… More reviews

Perfect multi-tool: I have owned many multi-tools and bought one of the first leatherman's when they came out. The Gerber beats them all. The one handed operation is great for whipping it out for a quick fix. You just have to get your hand positioned correctly to have the pliers slide out quickly, but it's a breeze once you get… More reviews
