Earlier in the year I had the opportunity to test out a couple of Gerber products for myself, and came away quite impressed. The quality of both the Mini-Remix 2 knife and especially the Strata multi-tool were excellent, and both have proved themselves more than useful on the trail since that time. Recently I added a third Gerber product to my backpack in the form of the Crucial multi-tool, a lightweight, yet durable, tool that has quickly become an indispensable piece of gear that doesn't leave my side when I'm heading out for a hike.
As you would expect, the Crucial, puts a wide variety of tools right at your fingertips. It includes a wire clippers, a bottle opener, a knife blade, and both a flat head as well as a Phillips screw driver. There is also an integrated belt clip and a carabiner, which helps to keep the tool close at hand at all times.
Gerber went the extra distance when designing the Crucial, and the entire unit is built from high quality metals that don't feel flimsy or cheap in any way. The design of the tool is clever as well, folding up to a smaller size than you would have thought possible. Add in the stylish green casing, and you have a product that exudes quality at every turn. Best of all, the entire thing weighs just 5 ounces, which is next to nothing for a tool of this type.
If you're in the market for a new multi-tool, and you're looking for something that gives you everything you need without going overboard with the included options, then the Crucial may just be what you're looking for. Personally, I'd give up a few unneeded tools to shave some weight from the tool, and that's exactly what you get here. MSRP: $58.70
