Gerber Suspension NXT- Is it as good of an EDC as they're saying?

I've been seeing th Gerber Suspension NXT tool pop up a lot lately, and wanted to put my 2 cents in. I know the video may make it seem like I'm not a fan, but I really do like this tool. For me though, it comes down to functionality and usability. So while this is an easy go-to around the house for odd jobs, it limits itself for easy carry.

i got this for Christmas and I'm generally pretty happy with it. it took me a bit to figure out the lock, but now i can 1 hand it by pulling the lock down with my thumb and middle finger, then push the tool in with my index.

so far, I've used the scissors (generally really good, but causes paracord to fray), knife, file, awl, pliers, and i got to use the can opener yesterday to open up some beans. my main complaint is that it's very right hand focused (such as the scissor tab). it assumes you're going to always be using it in your right, which is not terribly helpful if you switch between hands or are left handed like me. it's also not terribly comfortable to really grip down on it with the pliers closed.

i haven't had a problem with slicing myself on the scissors, but i do catch on the ends of tools, like the flathead screwdriver on the can opener. likewise, i also catch on the pull tabs.

that said, it's very useful and it doesn't tend to bother me too much. if i had the choice, i probably would have gone with the SOG Powerpint or Ozark Trail Multiforce, but I'm by no means devastated to have gotten this for Christmas. i use it all the time with minimal complaint. I'm especially excited about the can opener, since it offers more leverage than my P58.

I keep one of these in my kayak and its has saved me on a few occasions. Its not the best multi-tool but ita great yhe price and light use.

This is the first honest review about this MT.😅 You expect what we should expect about a MT of this price. You can't compare with a $100 MT like everyone do

Thank you for this review!! I like the fact that you mentioned the scissors cutting you, thats a big turnoff for me. I am looking to buy a Gerber Ultimate Multitool(which is kind of the same tool but the grip is more ergonomic and user friendly(tools arent exposed)), and the Leatherman rev, but I cant decide which one to buy =)they are the same price in my country.Great arguments!!! Incredible video

I have this gerber and love it!! I havent had the issue with the scissors. Although i usually carry it on my waist band / belt.

Funny thing i also have the sog powerpint. I usually carry the powerpint when im going "nicer" places. Sonce it is small its easier to hide.

But for average tyoe days i carry my suspension.

Thanks for the video!!!

Cheers 🍻

I received a free one of those, and I never had a multiple-tool before, and I really like it!

If my EDC knife is over 4" closed and 3 oz its too big and becomes a pain to have on me at all times. I could not imagine having a big multitool clipped to my pocket. That Gerber would weight me down light a boat anchor. But I'm really picky. Hate to have anything in my pickets. I was looking at getting a few of these to stash in my cars for emergencies.

I have this and the locking mechanism is really finicky. Got it stuck open a few times. Oiled it several times and still acts up.

Got an NXT for Christmas and I love it even more than my old Leatherman. But, I don't pocket carry my MTs, I throw them in my backpack or a belt sheath 🎄

[EricElliott-hm]

I like mine I bout a Ozark trails muilttool just to get the push to use for this tool😊

[williamyoung]

Carry it in any regular size pistol mag pouch on your belt.

[VinnieNiZero]

excellent review. i am looking for a new multitool and it seems sog has much better reviews than gerber

[thecluelessoutdoorsman]

You get what you pay for TBH. These are great for a tackle bag or toss em in your glovebox of your truck. I keep my MT in a sheath on my belt and usually go leatherman. Can never go wrong with a leatherman.

Flissa makes one now with g10 scales looks like it covers the tools better 🤔

[SurvivingtheDaily]

One of Gerber's better tools. But I agree, It is very cumbersome.

[MichaelDeMarois]

not sure if you even noticed this buy you can move the clip to any

Your fingers are huge and ball park franks

By “they” I’m assuming you mean YouTubers with affiliate links… I’ve never heard anyone in real life say this thing is anything but trash… because it’s trash, that’s where mine went.

[jsuttral]

It’s pronounced Vic-tori-nox. Victorinox. Say it again…Victorinox.
