Gerber
Military-proven multi-tool issued to US forces for decades. Needle-nose pliers, one-hand opening blade, and carbide wire cutters.
The Gerber MP600 represents decades of military service and refinement, having been standard issue to US Armed Forces since 1998. This proven design prioritizes reliability and durability over feature count, with every tool engineered to function under demanding field conditions. The carbide insert wire cutters distinguish the MP600 from civilian multi-tools, capable of cutting hardened wire, piano wire, and communication cable that would destroy standard cutters.
The one-hand opening mechanism allows rapid deployment of both the pliers and the main blade without requiring two-handed manipulation. This capability proves critical when one hand is occupied holding materials or maintaining a grip on a position. All tools lock securely when deployed, preventing accidental closure during use. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet environments and harsh conditions where lesser tools would fail.
The MP600 includes needle-nose pliers, wire cutters, plain and serrated blades, Phillips and flat screwdrivers, can opener, bottle opener, file, saw, lanyard ring, and wire stripper. Multiple variants exist including the Pro Scout (additional tools), DET (no blade for secure environments), and Bladeless (institutional/correctional use). The basic MP600 remains the most popular choice, offering the optimal balance of capability and reliability that made it military standard equipment.
