My "Armbar" has become my daily carry. This is easy to carry and performs very well. The bottle opener/pry feature is ingenious. The knife size and design make this a very useful tool. This replaced all of my "micra's" & "mini's" I've been carrying as well as my EDC knife. You really have to experience this to realize its true value. Great job Gerber!

There is something about this tool that is incredible you missed. you can fit a second double sided hex bit under the scissors and a toothpick or victorianox pen along side it. It does need a pocket clip but for $6 on amazon you can get perfectly adequate clips and rivet it onto the back where those random little holes are. The ability to carry 4, good quality tool bits on a multi tool that fits into a coin pocket of your jeans and aligns so nicely as a proper screw driver is AMAZING. i know of no other tool that can boast the same.

I'm a maintenance tech for an apartment complex and so glad I found this tool on your channel. I always find myself in situations where a screwdriver is needed and I don't carry one in my pocket, not for long will I be with out one. Plus the pry tool is perfect for opening cans of paint. Thanks for all the hard work.

As someone who’s bought like every damn multi tool around.. the Leatherman PST is the best. I wish they built a pocket clip onto the side (a removable one) but it’s small enough to sit in any pocket.

You don't necessarily need the driver to be locking if you understand the physics Gerber implemented. The driver stops past the center of the pivot axis. Therefore, as you apply a clockwise twisting force, that force will translate into a force that pushes the driver arm towards the open position. However, turning counterclockwise is a different story.

A 2-stage lock for the screw driver (90* & 180*) would be fantastic

Thank you very much sir. Always great to hear feedback from my viewers. I appreciate you taking time out of your day to watch my videos.

I like the Armbar, especially the knife blade. It is really a great knife. It is hard to believe, but, for such a compact tool, the Armbar's blade is about 5 mm longer than the blade on the Leatherman Free P4! It is almost the same length as that on the Charge, and is 5mm longer than the blade on the Skeletool. I laugh at complaints about the "poor steel" of the blade. 10 seconds once a week on a sheet of 1200-grit w/d emery paper is all I need to keep the blade razor sharp. If you want a multitool blade that will stay sharp for 12 months, keep dreaming! The scissors work well, and the screwdriver setup is very useful for the occasional need to deal with a screw. Note: "occasional use". If you are building furniture, use a dedicated screwdriver!! No workshop uses a multitool as the main set of tools. The awl is small, but good to scrape, poke a hole, or mark something. The hammer/pry bar/bottle opener is great for opening paint or varnish tins and for tapping the lids closed. Anyone whining about how you can't drive nails with it is just not living in the real world. It's not meant for that! The only other tool I need is a pair of pliers, and unfortunately, this is missing. The Armbar is a really great little compact multitool,with a first-class knife blade. Well done, Gerber!

What a well appointed little tool! I have a soft spot for pocket tools and this one tickles my fancy.

I agree, they could've added something else, or locking mechanism. This is supposed to be a minimalist Multitool so it's kinda redundant to have a a blade and scissors

It’s a solid little tool that competes with my Victorinox tinker, I actually like the driver for light stuff more than the tinker, it’s not for heavy stuff. The only thing I think is an afterthought is the awl. Handy office and light duty device.

They're on the right track, but if the screwdriver and knife can't both be lockbacks, and I really had to choose which one could lock, I'd have to say it's 10 times more important for the screwdriver to lock than the knife.

I could not find a replacement readily for it. And a standard Klein flip bit works but does rub on interior frame so isn’t as nicely tucked away

I laser welded a lockout onto my arm bar drive. I agree with it needing a lockout on the screw driver. I wish the scissor was a file with flat head on the end. Then a single sided Philips in the 1/4 driver. I ground the sheath of the 1/4 driver down so standard bits stay in really well. The double sided bit falls out and gets lost.

Mine has a noticeably stronger slipjoint then yours. Still soft, but not as bad as that. It should be important to note that this is a LIGHT duty MT and is advertised as that sorta idea. Similar to the skeletools from leatherman, which is no where near as durable or should be used in a way like the surge or supertool. I’ve tested mine on light switch screws and other various (table, doorknob) screws and it did fine. Trying to drive a pilots hole in wood with the awl was good too. Didn’t disengage once with hard pushing. The driver during some (what I would think to be) heavy duty prying did disengage but I was asking to much of it, and, the pivot remained solid.

The problem is, that different brands have different strengths. I myself prefer Leatherman most of the time, but you said you don't like the proprietary bits they incorporate. Victorinox makes excellent multi tools on the whole, but I find their plier design very limiting. SOG makes excellent pliers, but their other tools leave quite a bit to be desired. Maybe pairing a Leatherman tool like a Surge, Wave, Supertool 300, or Rebar with the Victorinox bit accessory kit would work for you. Their drivers work independent of the multi tool. Might be a solution that would suit your needs.

Pretty good tool, very "pocketable".

I hear that a lot, but I believe sometimes scissors are the best tool for the job.

TX Tool Crib if I’m cutting paper to the level of exactness that requires paper, I’m somewhere with a proper pair of scissors ;) never been in a garage, up a ladder or in a sewer where precision is at the forefront of my mind :p What are you cutting with your scissors?

I've never had much luck with a "multitool" style knife. Too bulky To hard for my fat fingers to get to the tools. Most have no locking blade etc. Great review very informative.
