Dime

I have tried other brands and this one is the most useful, compact, durable, and sturdy. It is perfect for my mom bag. I use it to cut straws, open packages, and change batteries.

Do not listen to the negative reviews. They are from people who Baton logs with a 3 inch folding and call the knife garbage when it brakes. This is my first Gerber multi tool. I have expensive full sized leathermans, but wanted a small pocket carry for small every day tasks. This is the perfect key chain sized multi tool that will not do everything, but will do enough. The scissors are very good; not as nice as the small Swiss army scissors, but a close second. Drivers are of good quality. The spring loaded pliers are very nice and bite down nicely. This is a quality tool, made very well.

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.

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.

The smallest keychain multi-yool that has a real functioning set of pliers. Part of my EDC. Highly recommended, Gerber makes a good product at a fair price point.

I bought my dime a year ago at least. Maybe more. It served me well. It's small enough to carry constantly but it came in handy nearly every day. The tweezers and blade will take care of splinters. The box opener works well. The file is nearly useless. The scissors too, although between the two I was able to trim and file my nails with effort. I have tightened many a screw with the flat Phillips and slotted bits. The can opener will pop open a paint can. The little pliers were what I used most - I have weakness and dexterity issues I my hands from carpal tunnel surgery and they made a lot of small tasks easier. As you can see from the patina i used this little tool a lot. Today it finally gave out. As others say, you have to be careful not to put torque on the pliers. I was trying to twist an Allen key with them to adjust a truss rod and I twisted the pliers the wrong way. They're thin, and the steel finally cracked on me. Rest in pieces little buddy. You'll be missed. I decided to upgrade to a tool with heftier pliers since that was the failure point, but this little multitool is great as a very light duty utility tool. Get it if you want something lightweight that fits in a crowded pocket.

Małe narzędzie , ale w wielu moich przypadkach , cenne jest to aby za dużo ciężkich rzeczy nie dźwigając do pracy , mały i lekki ale poręczny multi tool.

可もなく不可も無く、至って普通だと思います。特にコメントは有りません。

Zu meiner Person. Ich bin eine Frau mit kleinen Händen und nicht handwerklich tätig. Eher im Outdoorbereich unterwegs oder Alltagsarbeiten. Ich war etwas hin- und hergerissen aufgrund des Preises und der nicht ganz so guten Kritiken. Härteeinsatz habe ich noch nicht hinter mir. Die Messerklinge musste ich nachschleifen. Aber einfach vom emotionalen Bauchgefühl her: Ich mag das Ding einfach! Ich habe es gern in der Hand und gucke es gerne an. Es fühlt sich wertig und robust an ohne klobig und zu schwer zu sein. Wieder zurück zum Rationalen: Es ist ein leichtes EDC für zwischendurch. Der Paketschneider ist ordentlich scharf und erfüllt super seinen Zweck. Auch wenn ich selten Flaschen öffne, finde ich die super, den Flaschenöffner sofort benutzen zu können ohne vorher irgendetwas mit den Fingernägeln aufklappen zu müssen. Die Kanten bleiben nirgendwo hängen und stören auch nicht. Es ist klein, handlich und leicht und fällt somit kaum ins Gewicht beim Packen. Die Optik und Haptik gefällt mir super. Die Größe ist ideal für die Hosentasche. Die außergewöhnliche Messerklingenform finde ich mal besonders. Die Feile ist denke ich Mist. Aber um die ging es mir beim Kauf nicht. Besser als nix und man darf den Schraubendreher nicht vergessen, der im Notfall sicher praktisch ist. Die Schere war schärfer als nach den Kritiken erwartet. Ich würde es wieder kaufen.... Irgendwie entwickelt es sich zum Lieblingsstück. Man will es dabei haben und benutzen. Allerdings waren 30 EUR im Verhältnis zu anderen Multi-Tools kein Schnapper. Paket- und verkäuferseitig alles prima.

E muito pequeno, cabe bem no bolso.

L'ho comprato per regalarlo a mio padre, ma mi è piaciuto al punto che ne ho comprato un altro per me. Piccolo e tascabile. Uso spesso praticamente tutti gli strumenti. Essendo molto piccolo lo porto dietro più facilmente rispetto al victorinox, il quale ha un lama più grande e non è sempre facile giustificarne il possesso di fronte a un eventuale controllo delle forze dell'ordine.
