It definitely made it easier to open the Suspension’s blades. This is fairly common on dedicated pocket knives but rarely seen on multi tools. One thing we did like about them was the addition of a small tab to allow easy one handed opening. Both use a modified sheepsfoot blade style but were shorter than we expected at just under 2 in each. There are two knife blades on the Gerber Suspension, a straight edge and serrated edge. You definitely shouldn’t try to cut any hard wire with them though. The wire cutters are your standard non replaceable variety but work fairly well. The pliers are only available with a needle nose point but they have a good bite and grip pattern. This is a major point of failure for many multi tools but so far it’s held up great to fairly substantial use. The pliers on the Gerber Suspension incorporate an internal spring action mechanism that we found to work quite well. We found this to be a useful feature, especially for a one handed open tool. If you look at the handles of the Suspension you’ll also notice an illustration of the main tool for that side. It also incorporates Gerber’s Saf.T.Plus locking mechanism that we found to be quite sturdy and secure overall. One thing we really liked about the Gerber Suspension is that it has all outside access tools. The can opener in particular has an odd shape compared to typical swiss army style tools.
As they usually do, Gerber went with somewhat radical looking designs for most of the tools. The Gerber Suspension includes 12 different tools built around a pair of spring action pliers. Let’s see how Gerber did with the tool’s on the Suspension. It also has a cutout design that Gerber claims reduces its overall weight. Unlike any other butterfly fold tools with straight sides an boxy profiles the Suspension is quite rounded.

It’s on the small side for a full size multi tool, coming in at 3.5 in, but is actually quite heavy at 9 oz. It was built to be a high-quality yet value priced design to compete with the likes of the Leatherman Wingman or SOG PowerPint. With the Suspension Gerber made moves to enter the traditional butterfly open market with a bang.
Their flagship tool, the MP600, is an example of this. Gerber has long been a proponent of the slide out multi tool design. 6 Conclusion – Final Thoughts On the Gerber Suspension.5 Gerber Suspension Vs Comparable tools.4 Gerber Suspension accessories and extras.
