Multi-Tools for Archery
from Gerber and Kutmaster

Gerber Octane Multi-Tool

Let's face it, most multi-tools on the market are functional, and if you have ever owned one, you know how difficult it is to get along without one. However, the Gerber multi-tools are even more functional than most and the Octane is one of the most functional of all, especially in an archery situation where the prime requirements are lightweight compact design with one-hand operation.

The first thing that you will notice about the Gerber Octane is the cool new look. It is the perfect example of the cliche, form follows function, because it is as beautiful as it is utilitarian. The compact size is a perfect fit in the hand, but when you open it, you will be amazed at how easy all the tools are to access. The list of tools is impressive, to say the least.

In addition to the obligatory needle-nose pliers each Gerber Octane features a total of nine tools including the following: Heavy-Duty Wire Cutters; Square Bit Driver;Large Half-Serrated Knife Blade; Two Flat Screw Driver Blades; One Phillips Screw Driver Blade; A Bottle Opener; and most important of all, Easy One-Handed Opening and Operation.

Gerber Suspension Multi-Tool

If you are in the market for a top-of-the-line multi-tool from one of the most respected manufacturers in the outdoor cutlery business, then have a close look at the Gerber Suspension. Because the Suspension is made by Gerber you know the quality won't be beat, but the amazing thing is the engineering and design. The Suspension packs more value into a smaller package than any other multi-tool on the market.

The Gerber suspension contains features that are truly surprising for a budget-level multi-tool. for one thing, the top-quality needle-nosed pliers (with very effective hardened wire cutter blades) are spring loaded so they are open when you need them open. The Suspension has a total of eleven tools encased in a sturdy, lightweight titanium-coloured stainless-steel housing. Closed length is a compact 4 inches (10.15 cm) and the weight is only 8.9 ounces (252 grams)

In addition to the needle-nose pliers and heavy-duty wire cutters each Gerber Suspension includes the following: ; Small Fine-Edge Knife; Large Serrated Knife Blade; two flat screwdrivers; Phillips screwdriver; bottle opener; scissors that actually work, and easy one-handed opening of the most important tools. As a bonus, you will also get a sturdy belt sheath made from ballistic nylon..

There are a number of videos on the Gerber Suspension but the one we have embedded here is one of the most objective. If you want to see the others, go to You Tube and search for Gerber Suspension.
