Gerber Truss Multi-Tool

17 Tools, One Handle

The Gerber Truss is a full-size multi-tool built around a set of spring-loaded needlenose pliers, with 17 tools folded into its two handles. It covers the small jobs that come up at camp, on the range, in the truck or around the house: cutting cord, tightening a loose screw, stripping a wire, opening a can. A black nylon sheath comes in the package, so the tool can ride on your belt.

Features

• Spring-Loaded Needlenose Pliers — The jaws open again by themselves after each squeeze, which makes repetitive gripping and bending easier on the hand, and the needlenose tip backs onto standard pliers and wire cutters.
• Butterfly Opening — Both handles swing out in opposite directions to expose the pliers head, then fold back around it to close.
• Plain and Serrated Blades — One full plain-edge blade handles clean slicing and whittling, and a separate full serrated blade saws through rope, webbing and fibrous material.
• Locking Tools — A tool lock on the handle holds the blade or tool open while you work, so it cannot fold back onto your fingers under pressure.
• Four Screwdrivers — Small, medium and large flathead drivers sit alongside a cross driver (Phillips-style) for common fasteners.
• Saw and File — A toothed saw blade cuts small branches and dowel, and a file on the reverse of the ruler smooths edges and burrs.
• Wire Stripper and Scissors — A wire stripper removes insulation from electrical wire, and a small pair of scissors trims cord, tape, fabric and paper.
• Ruler and Awl — A fold-out ruler marked in both inches and centimeters takes quick measurements, and an awl punches holes in leather, webbing or wood.
• Can and Bottle Openers — Dedicated openers handle canned food and capped bottles without borrowing a blade for the job.
• Lanyard Hole — A triangular hole at the base of one handle takes a lanyard or cord for tethering the tool to a pack or belt.

Sheath and Warranty

The included sheath is black nylon with an embroidered Gerber logo and a flap closure, and it is multi-position, meaning it can be worn in more than one orientation on a belt. The handles have a gray finish with open cutouts along their length, and the closed tool carries the Truss name on one side. Gerber backs the Truss with a limited lifetime warranty in North America and a 25-year limited warranty outside North America.
