![Gerber Pack Hatchet Camping Axe - Coyote Brown Handle/Black Blade [31-003484]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/aplus-media-library-service-media/0787d320-3bf5-419b-8138-e913beb668ab.__CR0,0,166,182_PT0_SX166_V1___.jpg)
I needed to update my Leatherman multi-tool after 20 years. The issue was there was no locking mechanism for any of the tools on my vintage Leatherman. It cut and pinchedme too many times. So I tried the Gerber Suspension NXT.
Gerber hit a home run! This tool is the perfect size, perfect heft, perfect set of features for everyday use. Of course, like a good pair of boots, its stiff and tight coming out of the box. After a wear-in period, it feels trustworthy. I have found a worthy replacement for the Leatherman at half the price.
The tools: the knife is sharp and holds its edge. The awl is almost as sharp as the knife (careful!). The phillips screwdriver is somewhat small (#1 size). The needle nose plyers are strong and fit in tight spaces. I dont have much use for the small scissors, but they can cut short lengths. I wish they had made course and fine files instead of a useless 1-1/2 inch scale, but thats a minor point.
Overall, this is a great multi-tool with everything you need and nothing you dont. Highly recommended!
