Overview
The Gerber Multi-Plier 800 Legend is one of the most convenient and advanced multi-tools that you can find on the market. Gerber invested heavily into the advanced technologies into this tool in order to make it small, lightweight, but yet useful and durable. The tool offers one handed opening of the knife blade. You can also access all of the blades without having to open the tool. The knife blades are standard for a tool of this caliber and prices range. There are several screwdrivers on this tool including the standard flat head and phillips head screwdriver. The selection of blades is adequate but this tool does not include a full serrated edge blade. The fine edge blade might be a little too fine. It also includes a saw edge that is useful for small jobs and serves it's purpose on the tool for it's utility and convenience. The tool does not offer a ruler, which is common among other multi-tools, but we can overlook that feature even though find it extremely useful at times. The jaws on the pliers have ample room to open, however there have been some complaints about the jaws not opening wide enough. There has to be some sacrifice in order to make such a compact and convenient tool
The handle on the Gerber Multi-Tool 800 Legend is a masterpiece. It is made of stellar stainless steel and contoured aluminum. The handle also has tactile rubber inserts that insure your steady grip. These are the primary elements of what is generally considered to be the ultimate expression of the Gerber Multi-Tool. Being versatile wasn't enough for the guys who designed these tools. They worked hard to deliver a level of ergonomics and comfort that is rarely, if ever, seen. The pliers are spring-loaded, as you'd expect. The ballistic nylon sheath is included, which is no surprise. However the tungsten carbide wire cutting blades are replaceable, which you might not expect.
