TNP Patreon is where the action is! Lots more videos and action over there...never too late to join and support the workload: www.patreon.com/Nutnfancy. And don’t believe the rumors Patreon is shutting down, it isn’t and they’ve supported the work here well. YT is also imperfect and I’m still here too ( so are you)! Here's just some of the comments from TNP Patrons on this video that was posted by ELITE TNP Donors: "Joshua kinnunen Spyderco and Leatherman for a decade. Guilty as charged. 2 3w Charles New Gerber dime is $ 15 bucks and has scissors , is only 2.3 oz,,,,and bonus can choose from, black,blue,green,red or purple. I always have one on me. Nutnfancy: Me too, love those brands! 1 3w One.Wheel.Drive I carry the Leatherman SideClip in my left pocket (clipped on) my EDC blade (today it's a Delica 4) clipped to my right pocket and a Leatherman Micra deep in my right pocket. I am more than adequately tooled up...never left wanting. Gerber products always feel unrefined...like they are designed by people that have never used tools. Their slide to open plier head is awful. 1 3w Jim Ferebee Thank you for the review. 3w barefoot130 New patches coming with "S4GC"? Totally want one! 1 3w Colin Ford Thank you for the multitool review! 3w Jacob Hurst I carry a wingman. It retired my Gerber that I carried for years. And i would have to say the scissors are the most used part of my MT. Thanks for great content! 3w Racing Psychosis It makes me sad that it does not have scissors. 3w Jeremy Corrao Love the long reviews! 3w Kevin White was that an ar15 front sight tool in the bit set? 3w Joshua Pulliam Thank you for the review Nutn! I will cling to my Leatherman Wave Plus that I carry everyday at work. In reference to foster parenting. My wife and I are licensed foster parents and I can tell you that it is impossible not to get attached to the children that are placed in your home. Thankfully we were able to adopt the first three children that were placed with us. However, last December we had to say god bye to a sweet little baby girl. It really is like having your heart ripped out and I worry for her well being everyday. 2 2w The Nutnfancy Project Great MT choice, Wave remains one of my favorites for sure. Thanks for the foster parent insight and I can't imagine how hard that would be. Thanks for doing such a great service to us all...fix the family, fix the world! 8min Greg Mason Anyone know have a specific recommendation on a good bug out bag multitool? This Gerber seems too heavy. 2w Nathan Simms aka Darkpriest Thanks for reviewing a multitool again! I really enjoy the multitool reviews. 2 2w Luke Stage 4 clinger Spyderco Manix 2. In my pocket edc it for over 10 years now. 2w david rockwell The review while in-depth and well presented, did little to dissuade me from Leatherman. The worn Wave, Rebar and Signal have many years of abuse with only the sheaths failing to live up to task (big let down). Leatherman tools (American produced models) are the standard few measure up to. Regarding scissors, they are extremely valuable and sorely missed when not present. Thank you for the continued effort and dedication. 2w Andrew Goody Good to see some more MT reviews. Nothing has come out that’s taken me away from my S2 or Wingman, but I have to believe it will happen some day! Have you tried the Free P2/P4 series? They look interesting but for the price, I’m not sold on magnets yet. 2w Harold Galen McPheron It needs scissors... 1 2w Sheepdog Stage 4 Glock, Victorinox, Spyderco, Kershaw, Ruger gear clinger. 2w Sheepdog While watching this, I'm playing with my SOG Twitch II in stainless. I recently found a chip in my old Formica topped built in desk. It's right in the middle front of the desk, and is aboiut the size of a half dollar exposing the rough wood underneath. I realized it makes the perfect place to stab the tip of whatever pocket knife I'm 'fondling' (as Nutn has described it) while watching TNP vids. Mini-nirvana! 2w Sheepdog 14:40 "When I drive a screw... I like a longer shank"... I can't believe you laid off of that one!"
Yo nutn! Wheres the Skeletool review at? Keep up the good work!
I like most things about this design, apart from the decidedly light duty cutters which have shattered three times now on wire the leatherman juice could handle
Nutn, as a grateful Patreon member, I beg to differ. You ARE the perfect reviewer.🏆
I love my center drive and I have carried it everyday for over a year. Using the screwdriver is my favorite part. It really makes it my go to screwdriver.
Gerber “Wave goodbye to compromise”
Wave? Subtle leatherman jab?
I caught that and wondered the same thing. Glad I’m not the only one haha
In the advertisement video for it they literally compare it to the wave, and at the end they use the wire cutters to cut the mini screwdriver bit on the wave lol
I carry a center drive every day. Works well for me as a general contractor. It is a heavy beast though.
Bet that weight makes putting torque in a lot easier though. A screwdriver that is too light is hard to work.
Same here the Center drive is awesome I like that it takes 1/4" bits and I carry a small set of nut drivers on me. So I'm ready for anything💪
I have a surge an one of these ill use the gerber some but when I need one tool to make it happen the surge gets it done with the bit kit.
Hell yeah! I enjoy the multi-tool reviews. Get some tactical nylon reviews up here too!
Nice review as always. I EDC a juice cs4. Hope your shoulder is now doing a lot better .
I cling to literally every piece of gear I own, unless it’s junk. I guess you could consider me a gun and knife hoarder.
Except for MT's, which through interoffice theft of falling out of pockets seem to have a time limit on ownership. -Doodle
Same, I don't have a ton of expendable income so I have to make sure I got something good and make it last.
"Buy once, cry once." Buy good shit. Use your shit. Live happily.
nutnfancy that c2 you have so you remember what you paid ?? The prices on eBay are crazy
I still have my Gerber multitool from 16 years ago. I loved the “normal” sized pliers but it is Time to upgrade!
I need a alternative to the juice s2. I have a skeletool which is too big for my edc, and a squirt which isn’t capable enough for what I do day to day. Any suggestions?
LOL, love that description Gerber, know way that was hyped up!
I have the Dewalt multi tool have you ever reviewed it
As an aircraft mechanic my center drive stays with me. Fantastic for taking out on the ramp just in case and it's saved me from having to walk far to my tool box many times. That's it's pou for me. A well suited multitool for mechanics. The pliers have been well suited to safety wire and have surprised me with how heavy duty they can perform.
Nutn what would you recommend as an EDC MT if you can't get your hands on a Juice?
Another excellent and honest review. I am a tradesman so I don't like multi tools. I will always use a real proper tool if at all possible. That said, I do carry a multi tool at home and abroad,when it is not practical to carry a whole set of tools. Call it a love/hate relationship.
Nutn, make your videos as long as you want, I always! Take the time to watch all the way through.
I've carried a centerdrive everyday now for about 5 months now and it replaced my leatherman wingman. I love this tool the main thing I use any multi tool for is either the pliers or the screwdriver and i defintely havent been let down yet. The size doesn't bother me however I bought the slightly cheaper version that doesn't come with the extra bits (I have PLENTY and made my own bit kit that lives in my edc bag) and I made my own leather sheath that is lighter and smaller than the nylon one that comes with the tool. Now the real star of the show is the sheffield that you pulled out. I love the way the paint looked on it!!!!
I saw one of these at walmart for $65, not sure if it is the same as this one.
I had mine for about a month before the liner lock for the screwdriver got bent up so bad I couldn’t use it after that I got the leatherman free p4 and have been using it daily for the past 9 months and couldn’t be happier
Home depot has the gray and black version on clearance for seventy dollars. 8/22/20
@nutnfancy another plus to the center drive. You can order it with an ‘m4’ bit set and the bits will be useful for a milspec ar

“Here we go: Gerber Center Drive”
Actual review starts
Hey nutnfancy, I just watched your old video on WROL and it really hit home with me because everything you said is happening in new york, portland, seattle, and Minneapolis. Its really worrying me to the point of buying alot of tactical gear/guns/and ammo. Do you think if things get worse we will reach the point of full society breakdown? And if so how are you preparing for it.
I bought the Center drive to replace my wave at work because of the longer driver and the fact that it accepts standard bits. Stopped using it when it was unable to cut cat6 cable and shattered cutting hard wire
Love mine, good tool. The only problem I have had are the wire cutters. Replaced them twice in a year.
I carry a Gerber centerpiece everyday now mosly because of the pond driver for deep screws. Sish leatherman made a similar offering gool6
Stage 4 gear clinger, easily Spyderco. Can't get enough of that spydie hole.
It’s my favorite multi tool for general purpose work. I have it in my work kit and it does pretty well. Too heavy to be an edc option in my opinion.
Please a review on the stoegar cougar
The center drive plus has scissors, but it gets rid of the serrated blade and turns the main blade into a combo edge, I carry a regular center drive and a swiss army knife with scissors
I had a Gerber screwdriver tip break on me due to its brittle metal. I was using it normally not hammering on it or being rough with it. Never bought another one. Leatherman from there on out. My boss has had the same problem with Gerber. Who cares about a lifetime warranty if you've got to wait weeks for the replacement.
I am a leatherman 4 stage clinger. My leathman surge weight is 12.5 so its a heavyweight, but it makes me happy
The pliers are literally the same size as the surge, but has thiccer tips. Honestly the surges plier heads are a little thin for heavier work. Having had both I can put them side to side. Also the lock is made of metal, there is a metal plate underneath the plastic. Also there is a centerdrive with scissors.
Walmart switched to clamshell packaging and clearanced out the center drives for half off. I picked up several. How could you not? Lol
I just ordered the new leatherman bond. Nice and classic
I preferred this tool vastly over my previous Leatherman’s. If the center drive had a factory pocket clip I would have kept it. I sold it and replaced it with a Free P4 which has become my all time favorite multitool.
I carry a leatherman micra on my keys... tried out a super tool 300... didn’t use it enough to warrant the weight and space...
It's about time for another Firearmageddon vid. The originals were some good vids, even though it was a seemingly unfortunate time. I like my Gerber multi tool, but mine is slightly different than this one. I definitely prefer my Leatherman. Thanks for all you do man.
Yes but Firearmageddon was 2012/13 Sandhook this is the Ammopocalypse.
In my neck of the woods firearms are scarce too. Rifles and pistols. Glocks are almost non existent, same with AR's. It's crazy around here, and we have a ton of gun stores in my area.
I like my Leatherman Wave +, also the snap button closure on the sheath is much better than velcro, and it will not wear out, like velcro.
Sog powerpint 4.2oz with a clip it’s got everything nutnfacy likes what’s everyone’s take on it ?
I have the old school gerber multiplier without the plastic locks. Love that one to bits. Don’t know about this one.
Not that I need one as I’m a plumber/heating tech and carry a full toolbag everyday. But on my free rime I carry an MT.
I switched to centerdrive after another youtuber mentioned it. Never looked back. Haven't touched a leatherman since. Best tool money I've ever spent. Most used item is the screw driver, then knife, then pliers. I don't think I've ever used the scissors on a multi tool as I'd rather just use the knife.
Now i am erked that scissors do come on the Center drive plus but with that they get rid of serated blade and make that awesome straight blade a combo straight/serrated blade which bugs me
I bought the first version as soon as it hit the market and it's best multi-tool to date, for me. I use it daily. Best one handed use also, again, for me. It is heavy.
Luv the Jug! Such a beautiful aircraft...Thanks for providing the excellent content & cool decoration. Pass on the Gerber...I'll stick to my SOG PowerPint for EDC...It replaced the Juice S2 for me a few months ago..Been luvin it...Check it out sometime...Keep up the tremendous content Nutn...You're still the best in the biz!!!
Just use the file or what ever for a while with the pliers out. Theyre a bit on the way so its better to put them back in during prolonged use
I love love love 💕😍🥰😘 my Sog full size pliers...
🧐 On the other hand I just barely car about any of the interior tools... 🥴
The strange pry bar tool is very reminiscent of the Gerber shard.
The Gerber's are concerned a one handed deployment MT comes in handy
I carry a center drive everyday. I have for over a year now. In this tool you sacrifice quantity of tools for quality of tools. Great pliers, great blade, and great driver. I have a Victorinox SwissChamp that has tons of tools and most are useless.
One of my all time favorite MTs. My only major complaints are the pliers and the shape/size of it. Makes it always to carry but it's found it's dedicated place in my system as my truck MT, I've used the shit out of the driver feature and the main blade is one of the best main blades I've seen on a multi tool. Overall I'd give it an 8/10, it'd be a 9 if not for the pliers but I understand the compromise, the badass driver that is essentially the main feature of the system
No freaking way 294 was assign to Seymour Johnson Air Force Base and was my freaking man number for years of that base what are the damn odds!
Great video laugh all the way 🤣
Sounds like a former Air Force MSgt got a job writing adds at Gerber right after EPR season.
Centerdrive has been my favorite MT for several years now. The driver is very very useful for me.
I just regret getting the combo with the tactical pen and "customfit" sheath. That sheath is not squared at the bottom, so it's shaped like a wedge. It cannot fit everything inside it like it's supposed to cause you can't push things all the way to the bottom. Do NOT get that sheath.
I use a multitool everyday too..... The wave is my daily go-to. I use the bit set and bit extender all the time..... I think this Gerber would be a good choice for my kind of daily use. Does Gerber have the no questions asked repair/ replace policy that Leatherman has ( big deal for me as I have sent in two of my Leatherman tools).
I returned a centerdrive for a nitpicky issue and they sent me a brand new one no questions. So yes
Gerber has an Excellent Returns policy
i taken a gerber MP600 needle nose and EZ out skeleton every day to work for multiple years.
A one pound MT isn't that big of a deal if you actually use it everyday. I still carry a Gerber Freehand, and like it well enough to have hoarded a couple of spares when they were discontinued.
I still rock a delica with a pocket clip part of the handle stage 4 is real sir
I still carry my S2 Juice from over 10 years ago. Every single day. Been trying to break it so I have an excuse to buy another... damn thing won’t break!
I use a multitool everyday for work i have the wave plus the surge tti the gerber centerdrive the swissarmy swiss tool and the juice and i find the swiss tool beats them all its so much more solid and more comfortable
I can’t believe Leatherman stopped making the Juice S2 how stupid it’s my favorite
I have always hated the Gerber multi tool because if I use the pliers and they slip off the bolt I pinch my hand with the grip..
Still a victorinox guy here...my go to utility/multi tool guy.
Have to agree the scissor are the most use item on a mutitool
I carry a multi-tool on my belt almost every day, I must say that I go Leatherman has a multi-tool that puts its screwdriver in the center like this one does, I’ll be sold. Everything on this tool is worth the $100 to me for the things that I do, but that screw driver is an absolute selling point to me. I have one similar to this, with the extra bits and everything, but I’m hesitant to use the screwdriver, because it pivots on one side, that makes me more inclined to just carry and extra screwdriver, (typically my yellow ratcheting one), and the weight wouldn’t mean anything to me on the job site or in my shop in a million years.
I have been carrying this for over a year for my daily work MT. I use the crap out of this tool. I had a custom leather belt holder made. I beat the crap out of this tool. Yes, it's a bit porky, but very serviceable.
I'm a fisherman, and the one-handed pliers deployment on the Gerbers are beyond useful.
Stage 4 gear clinger Walther and Sig... oh, classic revolvers too.
Best MT Gerber makes is the Dime, it’s just small. If they sized that tool up to a S2 Juice size and gave it a Center Drive setup. I would retire my Leatherman tomorrow.
I like the skeletool by leatherman.
I've been carrying it a lot lately, really trying to like it. It's got a fair selection and I love the weight, I just wish there was some way of carrying the bits with it, they're one of the bigger strengths of it. I feel like a small kydex companion sheath would work. -Doodle
I don't really like these big heavy units with 15+ tools. I only ever use 4 or maybe 5.
I have a Gerber suspension in my GOOD bag, but I carry a very simple multi tool in my pocket everyday.
The Swisstool Spirit X remains my most used multitool.
I do still like leatherman really I do but because of that Center drive screwdriver and the fact that it takes 1/4" bits I went with Gerber👍👍👍
You think I'll like the next one? C'mon now...I like 'em all!!!
You can buy standard bits from pretty much anywhere to have any kind of bit you want FYI that thing accepts normal tool bits

Who's chewing the mic the whole time?
Late to comments i know, ive run gerbers basic m600 for over a decade and the "better one" with replacable cutters, the basic one has served me well over the replaceable cutters that break easily. One big thing with these over a normal fold over multitool is that the pliers when closed can pinch your fingers, especially if you slip off the work piece and get some velocity closing it hurts. I have broken the jaws once but i was using it too unscrew a sink drain since i didnt have a basin wrench so the force was on the side of jaws not the way it shouldbe used:😅 gerber has scissors on the plus version on theze btw ima buy it and see how many years i can het outta it
I had one and kept breaking the cutter blades. Gave it to someone for their glove box. I am back to leatherman.
I cling to my cold dead steel XD
Smith and Wesson 44 mag tool
Don’t need or care about scissors. So the centre drive is a little more viable in my eyes. That said I like the Supertool, Rebar, Sidekick, and Wingman are my go to
Ah TNP. The only channel I gotta pull out a mother freakin glossary of terms to know what the frick Nutn is saying :)
"tool to tool showdown" xD
Stage 4 gear clinger to cz’s
I still love the SWISSCHAMP more than ANY multitool I own......call me crazy. stage 4. Especially these "multitools" with NO SCISSORS.
The last Gerber multi-tool I bought rusted within 6 weeks.
Chinese stainless steel sux.
Bought one a few months ago, and IMMEDIATELY regretted it. Now it’s in my wife’s minivan.
Review starts at 2:23
Pliers and knife are deployable 1 handed?!?! Heck yeah. That's what I've always wanted! Except $115!! Maybe when I lose my current tool...... Which will definitely happen.
I Wd40 my leatherman OHT once
Actually the Longer Shank Phillips comes in Handy when I have to tear apart my Wife's Vacuum Cleaner..The Holder gets in the way with a Recessed Fastener..Normally I keep the Tool handy in my GoWorkBag..I slip seat Trucks Daily..I do know thow that it was a Great Help during Home DIY Projects...I think that it definetely was geared towards the Trades...I loved the "Commercials" but I agree that gerber should have taken a different approach and focused on the Tools strengths
Leatherman lol❤
Nice review. The center drive's extended driver looks useful, a weak point in most other MT's is the short stubby drivers. But no scissors on a $100+ MT??? Like you that's the tool I use the most for some reason.
I bought the Gerber center drive at Walmart for$79.99
