Lost my Gerber in the dirt, found it years later while digging. The blade was completely rusted but the Gerber was like new after cleaning. I bought a dozen for myself and mens gifts, very proud to give them as a gift along with my story about the lost one.
I love my Gerber. I have the lite in black instead of chrome. Haven't carried a wallet since I bought it. Holds my necessary cards and whatever cash I may have perfectly and just disappeares in my back pocket
Great video, Brett. I'm expecting a Mossy Oak in about 2 days from Amazon.I also had the Gerber EAB now for about 5 years. Thanks so much, this gives me food for thought, as I love collecting knives, edc items, and just general gadgetry. Subscribed!!
Hope I'm not repeating if it's already been said, but fun fact about the EAB: the screw to change the blade is the perfect size to unscrew with a penny
I just carry a razor blade stuck between the blades of my spare Swiss Army knife. It's in a pouch, so it stays put. It's also got a spot for a needle under the corkscrew.
@@BOOSTEDLASER whaaaat? That's really surprising, it seems that all standard blades fit the EAB. I think my favorite for 2020 would be the Gerber Prybrid and Prybrid X. I'm rocking the X right now: www.amazon.com/Gerber-Prybrid-Pocket-Utility-31-003739/dp/B084D1RF9Z/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=gerber+prybrid&qid=1589544723&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFCUFgxM0tOTEdKUEcmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTEwNDczMDAzQlVBMjdLOEVUSjQxJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA4MjI4NDUzR0g0UlM0RkhMUUpIJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
If all you need is a utility box opener style tool that’s made in the USA a great option might be the unger pocket scraper as although it is primarily made for scraping, it ia also great for opening boxes and for cutting zip ties etc and the blades are razor sharp and best of all it is only like £4
I use a fiskars or a Milwaukee for heavy cutting at work buy this mossy oak knife works well for lighter things like cutting plastic off pallets and even the heavier plastic pallets ties.
MashaAllah very nice 👍🏻 awesome 👍🏻 Thank you so much for sharing useful video 👍🏻 Allah bless you ❤️ I wish you more success in future 🌹 good luck 👍🏻 stay connected with us, 💖❤️🇮🇳
Gerber eab, the slow blade change using the screw is also a plus as there is no blade "wiggle" why it is still a favorite as it is very compact as well.
I've tried a bunch of different blades in the EABs and never had a problem with fit. That's one positive about having a screw holding the blade in place. It's secure and you can tighten it to make it more stable. I have Irwin blades in there now because they keep their edge for a long time.
@@brettmoore6781 Good, I'll have to pick one up for myself then. One of the benefits of this type of knife is versatility in blade choices, so I don't want to have to mess with it if I'm tied to a particular thickness of utility blade. Besides, the thinner the utility blade, the sharper it should be. Thanks for the info Brett!
I collect these as well ,Some suggestions Trucker Supply makes a Gerber clone (improved with thumb studs ...

yea! They came out after this video was made but I bought both the Prybrid and Prybrid X. I think the biggest failing of both was no pocket clip. I added one to the Prybrid but ultimately found it to be too bulky to be comfortable. I used the Prybrid X more because I liked the blade size but I found that it only accepted a certain brand of #11 Hobby Blade so it's versatility was drastically reduced. I'm using the Resolute Tools X1 Ultralight right now (resolutetools.com/) and it's quickly becoming a favorite. The mechanism is really cool, the body of the tool is all one piece and it's super easy to use one handed as well as change the blade. I love the design and, of course, it has a pocket clip. Super light weight too.

I recently picked up a Gerber Prybrid and a Gerber EAB Lite for work, loving them so far.
But now I want MORE.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the in-depth info. If you could add links in the description to all of these it would be a big help!

Or you can use the replacement blade to unscrew the screw then use the old blade to screw it back down.
The mossy oak is an excellent design strong compact and versatile I have used it in all sorts of situations.
I just carry a razor blade stuck between the blades of my spare Swiss Army knife. It's in a pouch, so it stays put. It's also got a spot for a needle under the corkscrew.
Smart solution!
Just wanted to encourage you to make more videos. You’re doing a great job. 👍

These are handy if you don't need to cut much but if you use them a lot for work your hands will wish you had a normal, full sized box cutter.
I use a fiskars or a Milwaukee for heavy cutting at work buy this mossy oak knife works well for lighter things like cutting plastic off pallets and even the heavier plastic pallets ties.
Nice video!!!!!
Thanks!!
These days, all box cutters are one handed opening/closing.
I have some beauties for work.
I enjoyed your video & subscribed!!!

This is cool I can tell you're new to this stuff its a cool hobby
Try not to dork out like a lot of people do
Great vid. Could you please comment as to which of these has the least or no blade wiggle?
Gerber eab, the slow blade change using the screw is also a plus as there is no blade "wiggle" why it is still a favorite as it is very compact as well.
You should check out the quark tool. It's the best keychain utility blade holder imo.
I looked at it. I like it! Thanks for the recommendation!
luv the ultra thin ... c r lawrence made the husky...3n1 two blades plus screwdriver bit socket + 2 screwdriver bits
Try putting a saber 25mm snap off blade knife back together trying puzzle indeed!
i 've got a husky util blade with folding blade
Cool Husky!! I've got a Stanley that's similar, it has a folding blade & a box cutter blade that pushes out.
Greg Serna
had a husky dual blade with screwdriver bits... lost it... now permanently out of stock
i have a husky dog
i found it !!! in a jacket hanging in the closet !!!! thank you lord..
@@gregserna963
does it hold screwdriver bits ?
What model blades are you running in your EAB's? I've heard that EAB's need a 'thicker' utility blade to have everything fit correctly.
I've tried a bunch of different blades in the EABs and never had a problem with fit. That's one positive about having a screw holding the blade in place. It's secure and you can tighten it to make it more stable. I have Irwin blades in there now because they keep their edge for a long time.

@@brettmoore6781 is Irwin best?
@@BOOSTEDLASER I think so. Of all the blades I've tried, they've held their edge the best.
@@BOOSTEDLASER I have also found the Lenox Gold blades to be excellent. Very sharp, and hold their edge for a long time
Check out da korcraft everyday blade it's the best craft blade/ x acto blade knife imo
I wanted this and bought it off amazon. They never delivered it. twice I got refunded.
Do another keyboard keycap set
I will at some point.

@@kly007 yep pretty pricy for what it is but man, it's nice.
you doht have
1) Utilizer 2.0
2) Quarktool.com
they are imho the best in their categories
This was made in 2018 so maybe they weren't out at that time? Either way, I'll check them out. Why do you like them?
