Gerber Crucial Multi-Tool Review
The Crucial is one pocket tool worth looking at if you plan to buy a simple and yet reliable everyday carry essential multi-tool. A full-sized knife is easily deployed by triggering the thumb stud and the safety release. The half-serrated/half-fine-edge blades razor-sharp edge gives cutting power and the blunt tip is good for prying and scraping. With the blade fully extended, the handles can be folded together giving you more control to make an accurate cut. The blade stays locked and in place until you release the safety button to securely close it for safety.

What’s Unique About The Crucial
Ten Functions – The multi-tool is not cramped with many unnecessary tools. The designers did not squeeze in a small pair of scissors nor a toothpick just to add another feature which is probably unnecessary. It is limited to the necessary reliable 10 functions: Half-serrated blade and a half-fine-edge blade, regular pliers, pinch-style wire cutters, cross-head driver, bottle opener/carabineer, pocket clip, tool lock, flat-head driver, and needle-nose pliers.
Safety Feature – No one wants to accidentally cut a wire or a finger while using a tool. The Crucial multi-tool is constructed with stainless steel liner locks that keep the components locked into place while they’re in the open position. This safety feature lets you easily use this toolset for whatever purpose, without risking the components folding up on your fingers. A dangling screwdriver is just as annoying and unsafe if not locked into place while being used.
Butterfly-Style Handles – The handles of the Crucial multi-tool are ergonomically curved for a solid grip and increased torque. While using the Crucial you will find that you have better control when using the V-cutter, and more precision when using the Phillips and flat drivers. The handles fan out for easy access to the rest of the Crucial Tool’s components: the medium flat-head screwdriver, cross-head screwdriver, bottle opener, and carabineer clip.
