Review: Built Like a Tank, Works Like a Precision Tool: The Multitool That Earns Its Keep - The Gerber Gear Truss Multitool is a masterclass in practical engineering—tough, refined, and ready for anything. After putting it through weeks of real-world use, from garage repairs to camping trips, I can confidently say it punches far above its price tag. This isn’t a gimmick gadget; it’s a serious piece of kit designed for people who actually use their tools. Build Quality & Engineering: From the moment you unfold it, the Truss exudes confidence. The all-steel construction feels rock solid—no flex, no rattle, no shortcuts. Each of the 17 integrated tools deploys smoothly and locks into place with satisfying precision. Gerber’s design team clearly prioritized balance and ergonomics; it feels equally at home in your hand whether you’re cutting, prying, or turning a screw. The spring-loaded needle-nose pliers have excellent tension and alignment—tight enough for control, but never stiff or sticky. Metal Quality & Durability: The stainless steel used here is excellent. It resists corrosion, holds a sharp edge, and shrugs off abuse that would scar lesser tools. The wire cutters handle both copper and steel wire cleanly, and the knife blade sharpens easily while retaining an edge longer than expected for this price point. This is a tool you can throw in a truck, take on the trail, or keep in a workshop without worrying about it giving up under pressure. Packaging: Even the presentation feels premium. The Truss comes in a compact, protective box with a sturdy nylon sheath that mounts horizontally or vertically—simple, secure, and clearly built for longevity. Pros: Superb all-steel construction with tight tolerances. The design is perfect! Smooth tool deployment and solid locking mechanisms. Durable materials built for real-world wear. Versatile 17-in-1 configuration covers nearly every EDC need. Exceptional value—rivals tools costing twice as much. Cons: Slightly heavier than some competitors (a fair trade for the strength). Use Cases: Perfect for EDC, vehicle kits, camping, construction work, or general home repairs. Compared to premium multitools from Leatherman or Victorinox, the Gerber Truss delivers nearly identical functionality and build integrity at a fraction of the cost. In short: it’s rugged where it needs to be, refined where it counts, and built to last a lifetime. Review: Great Budget Multitool For EDC - The Gerber Truss does fine for what I need it to do. It comes with a lot of tools and two knives. The awl's edge is pretty sharp and works well as a package opener. The phillips screwdriver has a surprisingly long reach for a multitool. The outermost tools have fingernail holes to assist in opening and with a little practice you can open them one-handed. The sheath is crap. It feels flimsy and I am not a fan of velcro closures. The snap-closure mag pouch I bought for my old multitool (an mp400) on my duty belt is just too small for this guy, so I had to buy a new one. I am a little concerned that the thicker spring-assisted plier handles might be an issue with some of the very tight confines I have needed pliers in. The plier's jaws don't open as wide either. If I had a least favorite tool from this set its definitely the wire stripper. Overall, for the price, I think this is a perfectly fine entry-level multitool. The lower price point means you can more easily replace it if it breaks, gets lost, or is stolen, and I have had all three happen with various gear at my job. If I had to pick between replacing a $60 workhorse that is good enough and I can beat the bejesus out of and not feel bad or a top-tier $180 EDC queen I'll cry over for scratching, I'll pick the workhorse every single day. ## Features - 17-IN-1 MULTITOOL: Features needle nose pliers, standard pliers, wire cutters, saw, cross driver, wire stripper, full serrated blade, scissor, small, medium, large flathead driver, can opener, bottle opener, awl, ruler, file, full plain edge blade - DURABLE SURVIVAL GEAR AND EQUIPMENT: Made from durable stainless steel, this multitool stands the test of time and conveniently travels with you, featuring a tool lock and lanyard hole for secure everyday carry - SLIM DESIGN FOR EASY CARRY: Easily accessible and fits compactly in a pocket or attached with a lanyard; butterfly opening and locking feature protects when not in use; includes a molle-compatible sheath for tactical gear enthusiasts - ESSENTIAL CAMPING ACCESSORIES: Great for hunters, tradesmen, and everyday carry consumers; perfect addition to camping essentials, toolbox, work wear, and fishing and hiking gear - COMPACT AND CONVENIENT: 4.25" closed length and 6.5" open length; 8.4 oz weight; backed by the Gerber guarantee, a limited lifetime warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B089WFYM1Z | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,006 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #11 in Multitools | | Brand | Gerber | | Brand Name | Gerber | | Color | Black Molly Sheath | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,888 Reviews | | Drive System | Butterfly Opening | | Folded Size | 4.25 inches | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00013658161597 | | Included Components | Truss | | Item Dimensions | 1.75 x 5.5 x 9.5 inches | | Item Type Name | Truss Needle Nose Pliers Multitool with MOLLE Sheath | | Item Weight | 8.4 ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 1.75 x 5.5 x 9.5 inches | | Manufacturer | Gerber | | Manufacturer Part Number | 31-003884 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | See manufacturer | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Model Number | 31-003884 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | UPC | 013658161597 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Gerber - **Color:** Black Molly Sheath - **Item Weight:** 8.4 Ounces - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 1.75 x 5.5 x 9.5 inches - **Material:** Alloy Steel ## Images ![Truss 17-in-1 EDC Multitool Pliers, Pocket Knife, Molle Sheath,Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Jga9hHPrL.jpg) ![Truss 17-in-1 EDC Multitool Pliers, Pocket Knife, Molle Sheath,Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-ECnQRBXL.jpg) ![Truss 17-in-1 EDC Multitool Pliers, Pocket Knife, Molle Sheath,Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Yp3auE1XS.jpg) ![Truss 17-in-1 EDC Multitool Pliers, Pocket Knife, Molle Sheath,Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DpEE-ACFS.jpg) ![Truss 17-in-1 EDC Multitool Pliers, Pocket Knife, Molle Sheath,Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61K4Ie9JIeS.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do they replace them if its broken? Have mine for 5 days now and used it in the workshop once and it broke...** A: I had mine for 2 years and the knife broke. I sent them a picture and a replacement was shipped right away at no cost to me. I had it within 2 days. Great customer service and was great to deal with. Very good company! **Q: Can you remove the blade?** A: No, you can not. **Q: Will the mole sheath work on a belt as well as a pack?** A: yes **Q: What is the dif between your Mille sheath and regular sheath? The pics are the same.** A: A molle sheath has a snap closure on its back to allow it to slide over the loops of molle system tactical vests, bags, and such equipment. The snap closure has too much length on its strap to be effective for belt wear. If you plan to wear this on a belt and not mount it on molle gear, get the nylon sheath. It's much better suited for your belt. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Built Like a Tank, Works Like a Precision Tool: The Multitool That Earns Its Keep *by T***E on November 2, 2025* The Gerber Gear Truss Multitool is a masterclass in practical engineering—tough, refined, and ready for anything.
