Armbar Slim Drive

Very compact and handy. Screwdriver is good for light work. Blade feels sturdy and sharp for utility work. Plus a bottle opener. Great easy edc tool for anyone who prioritizes slim and easy carry items

I'm so glad I bought this. I LOVE this screwdriver/knife. They sell one that's larger and has scissors but honestly I've never used scissors that much and without them the size is perfect. If fits perfectly into the VIPERADE VE1 EDC Tool Pocket Organizer, or in my pocket. Seems sturdy. I tightened up the handle on my sliding glass door which takes a lot of torque to tighten and this accomplished that no problem. And if you leave it at a 90 degree angle to the handle instead of open fully you can squeeze even more torque out of it. (Not sure how much or if it's even recommended to use when not opened fully but it worked fine for me and still opens and closes as new and doesn't seem bent or distorted whatsoever. Good sturdy EDC screwdriver. Magnetically holds the bit in. Great color, great size, great usefulness, and great tool all around. I will order more as gifts in the future. Will update about durability and function after multiple uses. Probably my favorite purchase so far. I should mention the knife locks open but the screwdriver arm does NOT. Not a problem for me but maybe for others. It does fall into a divot or something when fully open so it stays open and you can hear it click in place so it doesn't just close from gravity or fall shut. Shipped on time. 5 stars all around.

I like my Gerber Armbar Slim Drive tool. It does exactly what any reasonable person would expect from such a tool. It is not a replacement for purpose-built screwdrivers. If you are building furniture, you should be using real tools. The driver on this tool is meant for light tasks (like tightening up drawer pulls, light switches, etc). It is a handy driver, and it works with any 1/4 inch bits including extensions. The driver does not lock, which seems to be a problem for a lot of people. I have not found that to be a problem yet, but I can see how that would be an improvement. The blade is excellent given the price range of this tool. It will meet the needs of any reasonable user, but will require occasional sharpening. I like the size and shape of the blade and find that it is handy for most cutting tasks. Mine came pretty sharp, but was razor sharp after a few strokes on a stone. The blade does lock via an internal spring liner. It is a little stiff right out of the box, but loosens up a bit with use. When comparing this against tools of similar size, price and toolset, such as a (Victorinox Tinker), this tool stacks up well. The blade and driver are superior to what you'll get with a Victorinox SAK. I recommend this tool, but Gerber could make some improvements. A locking driver would be the first thing I would improve. Second, I don't find the bottle opener useful, and it's awkward to use. I'd rather have the awl from the larger Armbar Drive.

I needed to replace a poorly manufactured Kershaw pocketknife that literally just fell apart when I dropped it onto a dirt driveway. I wanted a simple option of a quality blade with a flip out interchangeable bit that I can use around the farm. This knife met my needs and exceeded my expectations. When folded, It is much smaller than my old Kershaw, but the blade is just as long, and super sharp. So far I've cut cardboard, twine, rope, and briar canes with no signs of pulling the blade. THIS IS A GREAT KNIFE!

I love that this knife has a good sized blade, locks into the handle, and comes with a useable screwdriver set. Those were the two features I mainly used from my old swiss army knife. The blade arrived sharp, and it fits fairly nicely in the had. I find the bottle opener almost impossible to deploy, there is no leverage to grab it to pull it out, and I can't see any way to change this. I don't really know if I'll ever use it, so that's not a big deal to me, but worth noting. Also, this is (obviously) not as comfortable to hold as a swiss army knife, since there are no sides covering the tools. It does allow it to have larger tools without feeling large in your pocket. Overall I'm very happy with it, and don't plan on replacing it any time soon.

Ok I got this as a general purpose, 'wanted something besides my true Victorinox ones" and a little smaller than those and definitely not as bulky as a 'MacGuyver' multi-plier tool. However after having it and using it for 3 months here's the good and bad for this particular model since Gerber makes a few 'armbars now' some bigger and small ones like this one: *good size *nice having a double-sided bit/screwdriver "thus" the "in-line" armband name *blade is standard pocket knife and internal retention design. Decent functional. Though careful folding the leaf to fold it in if moving fast or tool is wet... Not so great... *Tweezers on this are useless. Flimsy and useless. So 4th tool on this is garbage *blade is okay, screwdriver is good. So that leaves advertised tool #3 the "bottle opener/other short flat head "tool." Its useless. Cause this is on such a pivot on one end and designed in such and inept way trying to sue the little quick 'flat screwdriver' part of this bottle opener part it keeps closing as you turn the tool. No good. Now this same tool as a bottle opener isnt great either because the angle of the lower jaw versus the upper part suffers from severe under-bite and the overtook is so thin that its just awkward to open a bottlecap with it. It works but you'll find you twist and bend the cap off instead of 'pop' it off. Real smooth with your armbar... Overall for the price this is a sad disappointment. Half the price great. But as Gerber keeps raising the price on this tool due to popularity its not worth it.

After having read the reviews, I decided to purchase this knife/utility to use as an EDC. I received this knife and must say, I was impressed. Nice sturdy blade (not flimsy), easy to use Phillips bit as well as the slotted-head bit. It also contains a bottle opener. Unfortunately for me, my wife saw this knife/utility and decided to commandeer it for her own use! She said that she wanted it because there's always that time that we say "I wish I had a screwdriver to fix this or that," while out and about. PROS: Gerber quality, easy to use, perfect for an EDC CONS: None noted at the time of this review

First and foremost, the word "scale" refers to this knife's handle which is aluminum. If you do an Amazon search of "knife scales", the result will list various materials like G10, micarta, etc. for making custom knife handles. Now on to my review, this tool is one of the slimmest and lightest that I own period. I removed the keyring and filed down that sharp corner edge located in that area to improve the comfort in hand. Another benefit is the magnetic bit holder that can hold any standard size bit. The bit holder is aligned to center so it's easier to stay on the screwhead. Most drivers on multi-tools are off center and awkward at times to use. The knife blade was really sharp out of the box. I've only had to strop it a few times to maintain the edge. It's as sharp as my two Gerber Shark Belly knives; semi-serrated & straight versions. I carry this Gerber Slimbar just about everyday because it disappears in the pocket, isn't bulky and is a decent knife/screwdriver/bit driver/ bottle opener combo. If I need 17 different tools in 1 , I'll grab my Leatherman rebar. I'm still looking for the burnt orange model because I like the color, but don't want to pay retail.

Um canivete robusto com lâmina grande, super afiada, acabamento primordial, braço de 5cm com chave de bit ¼ de polegada imantada que aceita bits universais pró estoque de qualquer marca. Pequena ferramenta com muita utilidade e da marca Gerber que já embarca qualidade no nome.

Excelente

PAra mi una de las mejores marcas, tengo una navaja de hace 22 años y sigue perfecta, buena compra y la tengo en mi mochila de diario, me gusta que la navaja se bloquea y evita accidentes

Es bastante bueno el filo de la navaja, ademas tiene bloqueo y se siente de excelente calidad, lo unico que le pongo de pero es que el desarmador no tiene bloqueo y la punta viene sin imantar (a algunos quiza no les guste).

Promete o que cumpre. Porém: - Lâmina super dura, difícil de abrir com uma mão; - Chave não permite muita força, se vc aplica força ela fecha. Apesar disso, pode receber bits 1/4 padrão, é uma alternativa ótima em um kit portátil (comprei com essa finalidade).
