Gerber Center-Drive Return Follow-Up
Hi! If you remember my previous videos, there were some issues of workmanship on my Gerber Center-Drive, and I said that I'm going to return and request the repairs or per warranty outline. So I did.
To sum up: OK. Gerber made good on the warranty service by replacing the original item with a like item. However, the Center-Drive receptacle issue still exists.
I paid $90, so I expect workmanship to reflect
"made in the USA." So... I'm contemplating what to do next.

Portable Manual Coffee Grinder: Review

This video is to brag about my new gadget: Manual coffee grinder. Small and slim! Bottomline, I’m enjoying it.

If you have the Leatherman Bit Kit, it only makes sense to have the Bit Driver Extender too.

It only makes sense that if own a Leatherman Multi-tool, you should consider their bit kit too.

The beauty of this is you can configure one-bit card with bits you do use and thereby streamlining your sheath. However keep in mind...

    I have victorinox, SOG, Leatherman and Bilbury multi tools and like them all...The Gerber however is (in my view) very different from everything else. As a sailor I'm often reaching for a multi-tool when I'm holding something in my other hand. The Gerber Centre Drive gives me one-handed access to the three tools I most often use- The pliers, the knife and the screwdriver. That one-handed capacity is what makes it different from all that I own. Increasingly I'm only interested in tools that offer one-handed access to tools without opening the pliers (ie the Leatherman Free P2)

    The Surge is on an entirely different level than the Gerber. Gerber could easily compete but they don’t. They don’t care because they hate their customers.

    It seems to me you favor Leatherman you're not giving a fair review for both the knives your favorite because you like leather and more be honest about both the tools and one thing I know Leatherman tools multi-tools are way overpriced for what you're getting the Gerber suspension NXT comes with everything the Leatherman waves got it is 30 bucks and it uses the same steel Anna spring assisted for the pliers you do not give fair reviews. Give Gerber its props they did a good job on this multi-tool and I feel you don't like it

    Very helpful review, my friend! I've been saving up to get a Leatherman Surge, but I think I will pick up the Center-Drive instead. I find myself needing a bitdriver almost daily, and I like the layout of the one on the Center-Drive a bit better, as well as the interchangeability with standard 1/4 bits.

    As another person also asked - your Surge Sheath/Pouch - What Brand, name, size, or type? I ask as many are not able to carry the bit kit w/ the surge and if they do then they are not in separate pockets and this makes it a pain to use the surge on a regular basis.

    This lack of function with standard tools (hex bits) is bordering on a deal breaker.

  • @Welther47
    @Welther47 2 роки тому

    Bit driver for standard hex bits is a standard function I think every multitool should have; unless it's a survival/bushmans version. The Leatherman are great, but the fact that their bits are proprietary makes it less of a multitool, and more of a specialized one. There are so many multitools, but I which I could just put my own together.

  • @drakejosh808
    @drakejosh808 2 роки тому

    Hi! First of all, thank you very much for this video; this is exactly what I was looking for! Secondly, the 6mm hex/allen bit by Leatherman is different in shape (more rectangular than hexagonal) from the actual 6mm hex/allen key on your other multi-tool? So, I'm wondering if the Leatherman bit is able to get the job done with actual hex/allen screws?

  • @Freddy-Da-Freeloadah
    @Freddy-Da-Freeloadah 2 роки тому

    In practice you had better have a flashlight to read the marks on the bits! I can't hardly read the designations on my set. They say these bits work with other brand tools, but I forget which... I think maybe the Walmart fake Wave...? Whatever it's called... They have to have an internal mechanism to hold the bit on the groove on the middle of the bit. Leatherman tools cost too much, and I spend all kinds of time trying to get myself to pay the extra BUCK$... Still trying to get myself to buy a Surge... OZARK TRAIL!!! I think somebody said the Wallyworld OZARK TRAIL fake Wave multi-tools can use these 2D bits... IMHO

    I really don't understand why someone would want the center drive. Catching myself one handed 90% of the time I need my mutlitool, would just piss me off having to open the Gerber, unfold it, get the tool I need, and then repeat the process backwards. Granted, you still have to open the surge for some tools, but your most commonly used items are readily available

    Gerber center drive is the strongest multitool I have. Much more stronger and robust than my leatherman surge and my victorinox spirit.(I broke 3 times surge and is almost impossible to brake Centerdrive. The steel is harder and better heat treatment) Except for the shamefully carbide cutters, CD is the best multitool for working environment. Not so good as edc or camping outdoors.(no wood saw, no scissors) But it Have fews tools and very goods.

    Excellent review. Very detailed the way I would like it. It helped cement my decision when replacing my lost 20 yr. old M-T. This review with a couple others like the one showing the SOG near equivalent and it’s spring wearing out and thus not holding the knife or saw back in place is a BIG no-no /issue for SOG. So now I’ve just purchased a Surge. Even though it’s heavier or bulkier or more manual to operate than others, for the long term, it is a solid product through and through and could well last me my lifetime; my intention. And when Gerber makes it difficult to understand what is its M.O.C., that’s even more reason to trust a brand like Leatherman. Thank you again 🏆

    • @gadgetsurvivalist3986
      @gadgetsurvivalist3986 2 роки тому

      Reach out to Leatherman's Customer Service, I've actually use them for assistance and even returned my Surge for repairs at no cost. They actually replaced it with a NEW surge instead for quick turn-around. Be advise they do have on-line form you'd fill-out for service and the one of the questions was something if your Leatherman HAS ANY sentimental value to you. Cost wise is shipping and handling hope this is helpful.
