Do you take pliers camping?

I don't. I just take my Leatherman. The knife, pliers and screwdriver have all come in handy while camping, and there they are right on my belt. Just last weekend we had a Fathers and Sons outing, and I used the knife and pliers features of my Leatherman as part of camp setup.

I do not own a Leatherman. And today I said, "Self, I should get a Leatherman."

Why Gerber?

why not?

It's just that the pricing seems the same. Why use a brand I've never heard of?

Gerber is what I use and I have had no issues.

They make great baby food and you probably even ate some as a kid.

Wait...you've never heard of a Gerber?

Gerber is a great knife brand and the flick motion of their tool is why

Take a look at Gerber, as well. Both very high quality.

What are the differences?

SandYFan

Seems appealing. What are the benefits?

There are a few here who could answer that much better than I, but I bet that

Also, just walking around with it gives you instant 'cred' in certain places

It's difficult to tighten a bolt with a pocket knife.
