I use multitools all the time.I have had several Leatherman ( Leathermen ?) over many years.The Leatherman guarantee is very good as they always repair/replace the tool.While I was waiting for a return I saw a Gerber legend and thought I would give it a try.It gave off a good impression first off because the cast handles felt chunkier than the folded steel ones of the Leatherman and the spring loaded pliers were good.I had that legend for about 7 years,the only problems were that I broke the tip of the knife (I was taking off a hubcap ) and the black rubber inserts in the handle fell off,(only cosmetic).I wore the saw out but it is only a seconds work to replace it with a saw that is designed

I've had one of these for over a year now and works a treat. People who have broken there knife or pliers have got to be DIY'ers who don't know the limits of there tools or useing it for the wrong job. There are a couple of faults but nothing major.1, the knife is awkward to sharpen as it has a serrated bit on it, but if have a good stone you'll be fine2, one of the rubber bits came half off the handle, but with good glue stuck back3, pliers not all that good for stripping small electric cable but fine with the big stuff.All in all i'm pleased with the Gerber, i've used a Leatherman Wave alot before and fond the Gerber to be a much better tool.(To the guy "neoyourmessiah" send your Gerber back as it has a lifetime warranty,

The legend is just that. A very competent, capable multi-tool a great features and durable construction. The replaceable wire cutter blades on the main plier heads are very string and very thick compared to other tools. The main body / handles has a solid feel and there are rubberised inserts on the scales of the handles to provide improved grip. The individual tools are also well made and they lock in place using Gerber's normal secure latching system. It is slightly more compact than the equivalent Leatherman SuperTool but it does have a smaller plier head and the opening is smaller too. Still a very worthy buy if you are looking for a rugged,

Having owned and used the same Gerber before in both Military and Civilian life I finally had to replace my first Legend after some scrote nicked it from my workplace.The replacement is not of the same Quality and build as before save for the pliers and wire cutters, all the foldaway components feel loose but don't tighten up any more then they are. with one of the locking release slides stiff as a board making one handed use is more difficult Than before.I'll be taking it to Beacon so so will see how it holds up then. Glad I shopped around for this as I'd have been disappointed had I purchased it from a local camping store at top end price.

I bought this as a replacement for my last legend which I had for many years but sadly it fell from a roof and didn't survive. It is used daily without fail and being half the price of my original one a better deal you'll not find. The knife blade is ultra sharp and keeps a good edge, the ability to change the jigsaw blade with one of your choice is a great idea, it comes with a grit edge blade. The philips head screwdriver is a great fit on screw heads not like other makes, also the pliers are great quality in grip and durability, all in all this is a great tool to have on your belt, i'm never without mine.

i had a leatherman and it was broken by a customer so needed a replacement,this was recommended by my dad who has used his almost every day for years and loves it.working in an outdoors activity centre in norway my boss also wanted one and we now also use it everyday and after seeing them 2 other guys bought them.my only down side is its big,not so big it wont fit in your pocket but u know its there,that said i dont think it a bad point due to the fact its solid and has taken alot of abuse and is still perfect!

I bought my Gerber Legend about five years ago.It is excellent quality and a reasonably strong tool.Easy to use it's one drawback is the inability to get the pliers out with one hand, you need to use both. I tend to use the sissors and knife more than anything else and these can be used 'one handed' though.It's rugged and I really don't see how anyone can manage to break one unless they're abusing it in some way.I did wear out a case though, but getting a replacement was easy enough.

I have have my Legend for 7 years now and use it every day. The main cutting blades are weak and I have broken off the tip of mine twice now through slight abuse (no more than I give my Leatherman).The other weak point is with the spring on the scissors which has broken on my Legend and my other Gerber Multi Tool through normal use, also the rubber inserts in the handles have fallen off.I can't seem to find anywhere that sells replacements but overall still a great tool.

I was spoilt for choice whilst browsing for a new multi-tool but having decided to give this model a go i'm not disappointed. I like the replaceable carbide wire cutters and the Fiskars scissors which work very well. Overall a quality piece of kit!! The price was just the icing on the cake!

This is the best multitool on the market - i had my last one stolen and i believe that they have stopped making this model. Expensive but very well made - would have given 5 starts but the first one sent was used and parts missing. Replacement received the following day however

Since receiving this item really useful. I ride scooters and its come in handy screwdrivers etc. It lives up to bear grillis recommendations. But I have seen the item (same) much cheaper in good outdoor store's shop round. Or Amazon should find a way of dropping the price.

Nice tool, the blades could be easier to open though, maybe that will come through use.
