From the UK so can't carry this outside. But I do throw it in my pocket for around the house and DIY stuff. I've had an opportunity to use all the tools but the awl. I'm actually really impressed with it so far. Scissors are great for a multi tool, managed to cut through some thick door insulation no problem. The screwdriver doesn't lock so be careful there as it has folded on me. Knife is sharp out of the box and I use it for jobs I don't want to use my nice knives for. This for me is one of things I don't mind damaging as it's so cheap, and I will replace it if it does ever break on me!

Small and light enough to not notice it, but built well enough to do everything you need it to.

It is a really nice small multi tool, the only thing I would change is to make a pocket clip for it

Was disappointed with this multi-tool. Not as good as they make it out to be.

Multi tools, have their limitations depending What main purpose you want them for, Too many tools on one piece of kit can be cumbersome. I bought this mainly for it screwdriver, and smallness for emergency when travelling light.

Small and Simple multi-tool, materials feel really good. the screwdriver is very handy, I always have it with me since I bought it. 100% recommend it.

I have several Gerber products - the Suspension Multitool has been on my belt for years, so I thought the Armbar would be a suitable, smaller alternative. It has been designed very well and Id say the engineer or designer is very happy with the look but I doubt if they have ever used it in real applications. Overall the size is very pocketable and the blade is fine for normal everyday cutting, the driver is ok but really needs a lock as others have said .....the scissors though ! The scissors is all but useless, it folds away nicely , again nicely designed , but to deploy the blade you have push the mechanism in the direction that makes it close, a serious design flaw - Gerber give it back to the designer. As regards cutting performance it is practically useless. it will cut paper for the full length of the blade - 1 or 2 sheets but it will not even cut the box it came in, it will cut 3-4mm at a certain point but not a chance of a full blade cut. Add that to the thumb gouging tab on the arm and its a no win for me. Avoid !
