MP600 BASIC07500G0-13658-07500-9Multi-Plier 600 - Bluntnose Stainless w/ Carbide Insert Cutters, SheathBox When you are ready to replace the blade (or it is worn out), you can swap it with a choice of blades that are designed for different types of materials – wood, metal, plastics, etc. The Gerber MP600 Sight Tool includes the standard tool loadout of the MP600 with just a few tweaks. It’s designed to provide the perfect tool for infantry, police, and firearms enthusiasts everywhere. The namesake tool of this multi tool is the M4/M15/AR15 sight adjuster tool.

MP600 BASIC07535G0-13658-07535-1Multi-Plier 600 - Needlenose Stainless w/ Carbide Insert Cutters, Leather SheathBox Gerber has been clear from the beginning that the MP600 line was designed with the men and women of America’s armed forces in mind. Everything from the tactical appearance and rugged design to the DET/Sight Tool variants and Berry compliant sheaths are focused on this market. For both the plain and serrated edge blades, the edge retention was quite good. I cut up all sorts of cardboard and fibrous materials and both of the blades are still fairly sharp. The serrated blade is patterned in such a way that you’re not relying on the same common edge when cutting. There’s a benefit to having a pattern like this—it’s called longevity.MP600 BASIC07530G0-13658-06891-9Multi-Plier 600 - Needlenose Stainless w/ Carbide Insert Cutters, SheathBox The knife blades come sharp, are easy to maintain, and generally provide everything you need from a multi tool blade. Screwdrivers Your right it's almost all new exclusive tools. I misspoke. What I meant to say isn't so much that the "Center Drive is half-MP600" and more that "Gerber likes to reuse components and engineering when possible". You will notice the can opener easily and conveniently gliding through cans. The same goes for the bottle opener. The only disadvantage is that the bottle opener seems to have a weird and awkward positioning at the base of one flathead screwdriver.

With a one-of-a-kind construction, useful tools, and Gerber's blade pedigree, the Multi-Plier 600 is an excellent value. The price is moderate, the sheath is included, and the tool will last you years. Keep an eye on the bushings and hinges as they wear and loosen. Like we observed, this can enhance the functionality. But it also comes with some risk of further break-down. Conclusion I can accept the cons of this multi-tool, especially when I can carry separate wood and steel cutting jigsaw blades to complement the RemGrit blade. Replaceable wire-cutters would have been nice, but honestly, what other tool comes with those, except the Gerber 600.This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items. I would have given this tool a 9 for over-all durability if it were stainless. The coating, which falls under this category, has kept it off of the throne. The Gerber MP600 base model comes with four different screwdrivers, one phillips head and three flatheads of various sizes. The phillips head has a tapering point that fits reasonably well in a variety of screw sizes but is a bit stubby compared to some of the offerings from Gerber’s competitors. The flat heads fill a useful range of sizes, starting fairly small and moving up to a standard largish. None of them will work for electronic sized screws unfortunately.
