Review: Super Compact Multi Tool With Everything You'd Need On A Regular Basis And More! - It's about the size of my pinky as I shown in the image. The pliers are quite small but more than enough for the unexpected tasks that you most likely would use this product for! It also include a pair of tweezers in case you get a splinter and need to pull it out which I have never seen on a multi-tool before, it's located next to the bottle opener on the same side as the ring connector. The paint hasn't chipped off yet and the quality feels pretty good, I will note that it is quite hard to open the tools themselves at first, but it does get easier as they get opened more. Probably the best key chain multi-tool that I have ever used, if you're looking for something to put on your key chain just in case you ever need it then I would look no further. This has just about everything you could expect and want for such a small package!
Review: Good quality tool if assembled right - This is a pocket-size multitool with good mix of just the right tools. Quality of the materials meets Gerber standards (I also own a Gerber Suspension which I think is the best of its kind). The only issue I have with the Gerber Dime is the assembly. The first one delivered to me, the knife wouldnt open unless it was pried open. I replaced that one, but on the second one the file would barely open. I used WD-40 and 3-in-1 oil on it with little effect. Maybe it just needs to be broken in. I'll keep it. The blade is sharp and the box cutter is even sharper, so far its the most useful thing on board. The spring loaded mini-pliers and mini-scissors are handy, just dont put too much strain on them. The bottle opener is so small it takes multiple trys to pry open a bottle cap. There are also tweezers to help with the ever-present cactus needles we have in Texas. Compared with other pocket-sized rigs, the Gerber Dime is better designed with better materials. If you can get one that was assembled right, you should be happy with it for a long time. Update: Seems like the 3-n-1 Oil I applied finally made it to the point of friction. All the tools open more easily now. I used a knife sharpener made for pocket knives on the blade, now I have an edge. It's a keeper! This handy little multitool is going to live in my pocket from now on. Recommended.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: where is this product made?**
A: These Gerber products are manufactured in China.

**Q: Does this have a clip for your pocket like the crucial for example?**
A: No... The tool is so small and smooth it is perfect for carrying in a pocket and the clip would have made it more cumbersome.

**Q: where is it made?**
A: China?  Deal breaker for me!

**Q: What is the exact dimensions of the blade from the base? TSA allows a blade that is less than 6 cm long and 1/2 inch wide to be carried on a flight.**
A: No blades of any size are allowed in carrying on, in the states. After getting on 50+ different flights in 2019, with this Gerber in my carry on TSA finally stopped me and told me I can not bring this on. Interestingly enough I had 2 with me in 2 separate bags and they only pulled off one bag. lol go figure

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful multi-tool for the money!
*by D***S on July 31, 2025*

I use the Gerber Dime often. I keep this little multi-tool on my Keychain. It's easy to open and lock. It fits in my pocket and I can barely feel it's there. It's not very thick, but it's heavier than I prefer for such a small tool. I've used every tool on it, but my favorite and most used is the package/box opener. The flathead screwdriver/pry bar is probably my second most used tool, and it's decently functional for it's purpose. The scissors are useful to clip fingernails or small strings from clothing, but that's about it. The knife blade is a sheepfoot shape, and it definitely needs sharpened before use. The nail file/Philip head screwdriver is ok for filing fingernails, but not as a screwdriver. The tweezers are decent as I used them to remove a splinter lol. Then the pliers which I wouldn't recommend using for any large tasks. I've only used the pliers once to loosen a small bolt. I gave 4 stars because of the weight of the tool, and the pliers aren't very useful. Overall it's worth the money for what you get from it, and I'd recommend.
