Armbar Drive

Of the armbar options available, drive fit me best as I wanted a screwdriver and scissors on hand, but the so-so reviews gave me reasons to reconsider. I purchased it and am very glad I did. Its a very nice size, not at all bulky, and even though there is no pocket clip, it fits in the small, coin pocket in the right hand pocket of jeans (see photos). It won't fall out, it doesn't jab me, and its always on my person. If I'm wearing cargo pants, it rides along in a cargo pocket. I've owned it for roughly 10 days and have used it much more than I expected. The screwdriver is a common size and is perfect for changing batteries in toddler toys. I've also used it for tightening electrical outlets and assisting switching out my florescent to LED ballasts in my garage. Even though it doesn't lock, its held in place securely under light to medium duty use. I do enjoy the option to use it at a 90 degree angle if necessary. I feel like this will come in handy working on interior panels in vehicles and other mechanical needs. The magnet has been quite strong and the bit hasn't fell out. It takes a bit of force to pull the bit out to switch it around. The Scissors are also for light duty use but of a better quality than I expected. I've used this to open a bag of apple chips for the kids that my wife couldn't tear open. I havent tried cutting a zip tie yet, but I think it could handle it, along with smaller diameter ropes and paracord. The knife is capable for anything larger. The knife is sharp and locks in place. I really enjoy that I can open it with the side of my thumb rather than a fingernail. The awl is incredibly sharp. I wish I needed this but I never needed to poke holes in leather. However this is sharp enough that it could be used for ripping, tearing, poking, or scoring. A practical use could be opening packages and cutting cardboard for kid's crafts. I had used its very fine tip to scrape detritus out of a tiny gear for my son's toy car. You have to be very careful closing this tool. The pry bar / bottle opener has a satisfying click when opening and closing. I've found myself playing with this feature from time to time. I feel that the edge, although blunt and smooth, may also work as a large size flat head screwdriver. I honestly envision using this pry feature to assist in removing interior panels in vehicles where a larger pry bar may be too large and damage the panel. The hammer feature i havent used yet but should be just right for lightly tapping items into place. Its likely perfect for tapping down paint can lids and nails, such as picture frame or finishing nails that just need a little extra effort. Overall I'm very happy I purchased this tool. It's largely for light and medium duty use but thats exactly why it exists. We have stand alone tools for heavy duty use. It fits my life well as a dad to younger kids and someone who repairs house fixtures and vehicles. Its priced right, feels good in the hand, feels substantial (high quality metal) for its size, yet is is fairly compact. I purchased the orange (gold) color so I dont loose track of it. It feels like it should hold up over time as well. I'd recommend this product for every day carry and for the uses I've mentioned above.

The EDC community seems to abhor this thing, which makes me laugh. The blade is sharp out of the box. The toolset is broad and versitile for the small size of this thing. It wont weight you down. The lockup is solid with no play. All the tools can be opened and used with one hand. I'll admit, the scissors arent the best but they'll cut a straight line in fabric and paper so they're perfectly serviceable. The lack of a pocket clip is noticable but at the very least there are easily accessible holes for mounting a pocket clip and pretty good compatible aftermarket clips are sold on amazon. Sure, the blade isn't some super steel, but it's easy enough to sharpen and is far from the worst steel out there. Now, I need to make it clear, I may have just gotten very lucky. I might be the outlier, getting an Armbar Drive with a solid lockup, tools that are neither too tight nor too loose, and decent scissors. But that is what I got, so based on my experience, this is the highest quality and most versatility you can get out of a multitool at this price. I have heard others complain about play in the blade and loose slip joints on the tools. I believe them, but I also believe this is a mass produced product and even with decent quality control you will see those issues. For me though, mine came with near perfect tolerances, it almost even has the opposite issue where the slip joints on the tools seem almost a little too tight for my liking. Either way, be warned, I'm sure the quality of these varies, but if you're lucky enough to get a good one you'll be very pleased with what you get

I enjoy EDC (everyday carry) type products, I'm always looking for the next knife, wallet, pen, or backpack, when I got sent the ad for this product I was pretty excited about it. I mean the thing has a legitimate screw driver instead of an almost useful tool that you end up using in a pinch. So after breaking an older knife I pulled the trigger. This is a good knife. It probably compares most to a swiss army knife or the Leatherman Free T4 (which I own as well). I always carry my knife in my back pocked and the T4 is a little bit thick and is pain in the ass to carry. Ill just do a quick break down. Good - Bottle opener is on the "outside" of the knife so its quick and easy to access without having to "open" anything. - Hammer/pry is a very useful tool that i am glad to have. These are all part of the bottle opener, but its much more robust than your standard bottle opener. - knife is good sized, larger than the T4. - Screw driver is awesome. the socket is magnetized so it hold on to screws. The socket can also hold standard screw driver bit heads. So that's useful. Although if you are going to carry around a bunch of bits you might as well carry a screw driver. But never the less, it came in handy when I was already using one screw driver and needed a second one and used this with a different style bit. Bad - IT DOESNT HAVE A BELT CLIP. I read some reviews after I ordered the knife so I wasn't shocked when it arrived. I also found a dude on Etsy who makes a 3d printed clip for this knife, so after it arrived i ordered that as well. But what kind of pocket knife doesn't have a clip? If it had a clip it would be a 5 despite the problem below. - The only tool that locks is the knife. This doesn't affect the scissors or the awl (which I haven't used so maybe it will be a problem in the future, but I might never use the awl), but it does affect the screw driver. It has nice to be able to operate the tool at different angles but the tool wont stay fixed anywhere. So its kind of a problem. Okay that's it. Make your own decision on whether or not you want to buy this thing.

Chegou em perfeito estado !

Considero que es una navaja super versátil y útil para la vida cotidiana. Tiene un buen numero de herramientas de buena calidad que cumplen su función adecuadamente. Comparando los usos es muy similar a la Victorinox super tinker pero sin el abrelatas, el gancho multi usos (que nade usa), mondadientes y pinzas finas. Sin embargo considero a la Gerber como una herramienta mas resistente y con una mejor disposición del punzón y desarmador de cruz en comparación con la Victorinox. Además que al presentar apertura a una mano y bloqueo de hoja la hace una herramienta mas útil. En general la considero una herramienta muy practica y totalmente recomendable, El único "defecto" que podría encontrarle es que después de un mes de uso se empezó a perder un poco el color ámbar de la cacha, pero eso también es debido a que comparte bolsillo con mis llaves. Además que al momento de martillar debe tener mucho cuidado si tiene manos grandes ya que la navaja es muy compacta y al abarcarla completamente con la mano podara generar un accidente.

Well thought of and well engineered. Everything is sturdy. Awesome EDC. New favourite!

Muito leve, compacto, não gostei muito da tesourinha, pouco inferior aos canivetes suíços. O bit de 1/4” é o grande diferencial. Gostei.

Gerber quality is up there with leatherman
