Gerber Prybrid Utility

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.พ. 2020
- New for 2020, this Gerber utility knife offers a sliding utility blade with the added functionality of a pry bar with several integrated features. This is one that I am looking forward to carry for a while. My only issue with this knife is the lack of a pocket clip.

At last! A Gerber multi-tool that I would buy! A 100% work related tool that I probably wouldn't carry whilst wearing a dinner suit, but would feel right at home with on the job site. Well done Gerber!
This is definitely what I would categorize as a job site tool. There are many options out there for a utility blade holder in slimmer profiles for those that just need a utility knife. This one is meant to go to work. It’s larger, more robust, and the integrated pry tool make it a winner I do believe. A few weeks on the job site will tell that tale though.
@@txtoolcrib Keep us posted!
In a world where I hate the design of most EDC prybars and I don't care for almost any Gerber products, I somehow love my Prybrid. Got mine after they released the pocket clip model. Very great tool.
Any problem with new update?
@@andreasugaraI just picked one up and the clip is decent. It’s not the best but it definitely works
I bought one for a friend of mine, in addition for me too. We both love it and agree that a pocket clip would put it through the roof.
So they do sell one now with a pocket clip. I purchased one last week in this same color with the clip. One thing to note though. They put clip on the prybar end so when you go to pull it out of your pocket I occasionally jab myself with the prybar as it’s sticking up in your pocket. The way it’s designed though they really couldn’t have attached it any differently though. Overall I like it and I carry it on my belt sheath.
*BOUGHT IT*
I was actually going through Amazon looking for a compact box cutter for work I came across this little beauty works extremely well for my uses and very well made sold structure would recommend, its about $20 right now and some change
I love this thing. Bought it a few weeks ago and it works great. Glad there is no pocket clip and those get bent so easy
Just bought one of these today for $15.00 in a pawnshop it’ll work great as a work EDC for me
Thanks for the review
This is my favorite Gerber product
I’m with on the pocket clip but even without one it’s a great tool. Thanks for the review Ben. 👍🙂
Absolutely, thanks for watching.
Nice one Ben. I like this design. I found one in blue with a pocket clip on Amazon for $20! Done. Thanks!
Badass!! I’ve been wanting one of these but all the good ones are so expensive (for what it’s for)! This one is perfect and priced right!!!
Time will tell, but I like it so far.
Nice review and excellent description of the tool. I have ordered one, and my Spyderco Para 3 arrived today.
Thanks for the great review. I think Gerber really hit a home run with this one. I've been looking for a pocket utility knife for a while. I've tried several, but they were either too light and flimsy, or big bulky folders, or ridiculously expenive. This thing is built very solid, the price is decent, and it feels like it should withstand lots of heavy duty use. I haven't had much faith in anything Gerber lately. I hope this is a sign of the direction they're headed.
I hope so too!
Just in case, impression after 2y?
@@incognito4102 Still going strong. My initial impression still stands.
Thank you I am looking at that tool right now. A key ring with a clip may require two hands to clip it. But I as well like a neat way to store a tool that is easy to access. Maybe I will take a clip off another knife and try to fasten it on. I like the fact the blade is not a break off style. I can also sharpen those blades in a pinch. Though probably not on the job. 🤗
Last week I lost my Gerber EAB Lite . I need a box cutter / utility tool for my warehouse job . I use it for cutting straps and breaking down boxes . I went to a sporting goods store ( name withheld ) to buy another . I picked up one of these instead . After using it for eight hours I'm liking it alot . Its easily worth twice the price of the EAB as It is much sturdier and has the extra functions . My EAB Lite worked loose in the joint , the pocket clip wasn't securely fixed in place , I needed to use the screwdriver in my Swiss Army knife to change the blade , and I nearly lost the miniscule blade screw a couple of times . One time I left my EAB in my jeans pocket when I put it through the wash and nearly lost the pocket clip . The blade retention screw came loose and the blade nearly came out when I opened it . Im my opinion the EAB is a lighweight cutter for occasional use , but this tool is meant for heavier duty . Thanks for making the video , and for reading my input .
You’re very welcome. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Looks perfect for the 5th pocket
Might be just a touch big.
I thought I had to many with it being my extra 4th lol
Great video and review. I agree. A pocket clip would make it perfect. Hopefully Gerber listens.
Thank you. Appreciate you watching.
Great review man, may need to pick one of these up! If you want to add your own pocket clip, I highly recommend the Niteize Hipclip. It's made of steel and fastens on to your tool with VHB tape. I know a clip held on with tape doesn't sound very robust but it's surprisingly strong stuff. I use it to pocket carry my Victorinox Spirit X and it's held strong for over a year of EDC with no sign of failure. They're only a few bucks each.
Keep doing what you're doing!
Thank you sir. I have one of those clips that I was going to try on this multi tool first, but I think I’m gonna use it on the new Victorinox compact that I got in.
Thanks for the review, I'm gonna get one! You could always unscrew the handle scales and paint them. Personally I really like that shade of grey and would keep it like that. I use a sheath for my box cutter at work, so the lack of a pocket clip isn't an issue for me. Would be a nice option, though.
Absolutely. Sheath would be a great option for this one.
This tool is great. I am an apprentice working toward my journeyman electrician license. Used it the last 2 days. It is handy. Nice grip even when my hands are wet or covered in oil. The pry bar is nice and replaceable blade are great. Thanks for the great content you provide.
That is something I forgot to mention. The G10 scales provide a lot of grip for this little blade. It doesn't feel like it is going to slip.
Great video. Love this multi tool as well, and I agree the 1 thing going against it is no pocket clip. I ended up being one on amazing for 2 dollars and slapping it on and it's fantastic... of course their new version comes with a pocket clip but I didn't wanna spend $30 on an entirely new one. The Amazon $2 clip works great
looks great gonna pick one up. thanks for the review!
..and only in those colours too. I'd love one in a brighter -find me in the dark- color. I bought one of their satin finish money clip folders about 6-7 years ago, as a travel knife (leave the blades at home).
Wow this is a cool one! Very handy tool great review :)
Thanks.
Should say too I have a pen knife from the 1900's with a pry bar on the back end and it's amazing how often I used it
Sweet.
Hey Ben. Went ahead & added this the edc bag. Was looking for something with a pry tool I wouldn’t feel bad about using really hard. Thx for the review!
You’re very welcome.
Great review! Definitely getting this for work - shame there isn't a pocket clip
This was a useful review for me, ended up buying one a month ago. Much sturdier blade lock than my old Stanley 99E and easier to grip. I agree the prybar is all but useless as a screwdriver. Bottle opener is an option of last resort, and did nick my hand when I was first getting used to it. If they dropped the bottle opener idea and widened the pry bar to fully span it would be a better tool IMO. Has become my go-to box cutter and handy little prybar here and there. Would buy again
Good idea. It's easy enough to pop off a bottle cap with the pry.
I'm so glad it doesn't have a clip. I think if it had steps and no curve in the pry it'd be perfect. I've got Paracord on mine and it fits perfectly in my 5th pocket. Pretty good edc.
i definitely agree with you about disliking tools banging around and weighing down the bottom of my pockets i have found it fits nicely in the fifth pocket of most jeans tho and with how slim and heavy it is i almost prefer it not having the pocket clip atleast when i carry it in that pocket.
Damn that actually looks pretty good
0m3n Hopefully I will feel the same way in a few weeks. I think it’s going to work out well though.
@@txtoolcrib
Only thing I wish it had is a clip to put on my pants to replace the utility knife i already have
Interesting tool. I wish the pry bar end was longer because the G10 scales are close to the tip. I often push a pry tool deeper into a crevice and would probably damage the G10 on this tool. Thanks for the intro video.
You’re very welcome.
I Purchased one and love it😃🖐
👍🏽
I was disappointed about the lack of a clip as well. Ended up ordering an edc organizer holster to carry this as well as some other items...we'll see how that goes.
Just ordered one
Thanks for a great video
Yes sir.
I like this, I need to replace my last Gerber utility knife, because I lost it.
I like this one so far. It's a bit more bulky than other utility knives out there, but I think that is actually what appeals to me with this one. It feels more substantial than others I have seen and used.
2022. I love mine
Been looking for a new utility knife. This just might be it.
I hope this is the one for me too.
Interesting tool, more compact than most utility knives. Stripping by running a knife edge around the wire, often accidentally scoring the copper, makes me nervous.
It's not ideal, but in a pinch will work.
I like both Prybrids, utility blades are highly underrated. A clip would is essential though.
I agree.
Nice video! I didnt know about this untill today. I might get it but i feel redundant. I carry a cheap pry tool and a utility blade. Both cost me 11 together. I might get this though.
I like this one. Like how Gerber is going after these more compact and specialized tools.
We need a mix of this and the Outdoor Edge Slidewinder.
I will see about purchasing one.
Still love my original eab.
Very good EDC utility blade. One of my favorites.
A pocket clip would get in the way of the pry bar if you want a deep carry clip, especially if you did tip down.
That’s a good point.
I have notice with mine after a year of carry, hook blades don't work too well with the lock if your cutting thick dence material.
I keep serrated straight blades in mine
Looks very capable and very usefull, with a Lanyard You could weare it as a Neckknife, maybe some Bungee Cord will do a good Job.
Hadn't thought about carrying it like that.
The sclaes are g10 and the whole thing is held together with screws- adding a pocket clip would be easy. I would like to see the lanyward hole changed to a 1/4" hex hole- one of my tool sets to throw a couple of bits, a fingertip driver, and a driver extension (among other things) into an altoids tin. This would be a good leverage handle for that kind of set up.
That’s a good idea.
Seems like a pocket clip would rob some thickness to the prybar use... I'm not an engineer and I don't know the proper terms so... let's say you have 40° of usable lever action. The added thickness of the clip would reduce it to 30° or less.... or am i wrong....?
In this case, the pocket clip would be located on the top side. So for this particular tool I don't believe it would take away anything for the usefulness of the pry bar.
The cool thing is a year later it sells for 20 bucks(you really cant beat the value) and they offer an aftermarket clip. I personally dont mind that its an option because i put a key ring with my one and only home key
If they could have incorporated a Phillips driver on the blade end ( in the corner above the blade) it would appeal more to me. I checked one out recently in an Atwoods store and it seemed really heavy for its size for some reason.
I was waiting for Mr Ben to review this. First Gerber product I've wanted for about fifteen years.
Great review mate. Let us know how the pry end holds up once it's had a bit of use.
Just waiting for them to arrive in the UK. The armbar is out here wouldn't be long
I will. Probably do a follow-up video once I've had a chance to use it for a while.
@@txtoolcrib great thanks
It's not a review. He said so himself. He never used it. Every comment was speculation.
You’re right. I’m pretty good at speculating though.
@@jyesucevitz ok fella "review" was my word not his.
The guy works with tools all day long as do I. You get the point were you can tell pretty accurately if a tool is made and designed well. Even to the point of recognising good quality steel or not just by look and feel.
I'd trust bens assessment on this sort stuff all day, and he's already said he'll do a follow up vid so you'll get a better "review" then
It's only a utility knife.....alls good buddy
The notch that you postulate is for cutting cord or string would probably also work well for cutting plastic sheeting or Tyvek house wrap. The prybar and stripper part of the tool looks useful. The handle design doesn't look as if it will be comfortable to grip for long periods of time, however; and I have never much cared for the lever-type blade mechanisms ( too easy to squeeze the lever/button by accident when using the tool, forcing the blade to retract).. As a general purpose utility knife, I think I'll stick with my Olfa, the type with a thumb wheel blade-lock and the snap-to-renew blades. I have never found a standard utility blade of any brand that is as sharp as the Olfa blades.
I’ve never tried Olfa blades. My curiosity is raised now, I think I’ll try to check them out.
@@txtoolcrib , until I read some positive things about Olfa, I had never been impressed with any of the "snap to renew" style blades or especially the typically cheesy holders that those blades worked with, mostly because of the propensity to accidentally squeeze the lever or button and have the blade retract on you while working with the knife. The larger OLFA knives, however, have a thumb wheel that locks the blade *tight*. They're easily available st Home Dumpo for about 7 or 8 bucks, and another 8 or 9 bucks for a 5pack of spare blades. ( You will not find OLFA knives displayed with all the other utility knives in the tools section, for some reason; you'll only find them in the paint department! Most home dumpo employees seemed completely unaware that they even have them.). I bought one of these knives and liked it so much that now I've got 5 or 6 scattered around the house, the car, in strategic locations so to speak. The blades are *surgically sharp*; especially the double honed blades with the black anodized finish which cost an extra dollar or 2 per pack of 5 . They seem to be made of a very good quality carbon steel, which, combined their relative thinness, does mean they're a little more brittle than your traditional utility knife blade.
As far as I am aware, Olfa doesn't make standard style utility knife blades, which is a shame. The packaging does show pictures of other OLFA blades with sawtooth patterns and various useful shapes or designs available, but nobody local stocks them and those probably have to be purchased online.
Ok I like this!!
Me too!
I work retail and use it as my primary box cutter. Handy little tool but ive found the bottle opener is a bit finicky.
I have not tried that cap lifter just yet, so I will take your word for it. At some point I will try to put together a video comparing function across different multi tools.
I found the bottle cap lifter on the Kershaw Shuffle 2 hard to use, compared to the first gen Shuffle. I'd probably give this Gerber a try still.
I like the video but I had to laugh at your comment, a 9 minute video and you couldn’t open a beer? Lol
So Ben mate over a year later how you finding this lol I had about the same time and mainly lives on my beer table lol fantastic figet toy package opner and about the house thanks for the review I must have watched this 30 times lol in the last year 😂😂 am now thinking of all the edc tools I own what's with all the flat drivers bottle openers and paint tin lifters yes get they all have thire place but I admit for years I fell down the PRY BAR rabbit hole I can't see me forcing any doors or windows with most of them 😂😂😂 am now thinking hang on I can do the same prying with a ska or a leatherman surge if I need an emergancy pry bar open my boot or trunk for a dedicated crow bar or am I missing the point lol my keys need decluttering 😂😂😂😂 thanks Ben it's apreciated we love edc 🇬🇧👍👍
Walking in wal mart yesterday I seen & grabbed this! $18 Were building the whole basement to our house so we'll see how it holds. It's a tough place to be for box cutters/utility knives.
Edit. Trying to change the blade isn't the easiest. Kinda lame but otherwise it's good!
Seems well built, too well maybe since its quite a pain to swap blades, a redesign of that little release tab should be in order...I have the version that uses an exacto blade and have yet to be able to release that blade without using a screwdriver to pry the tab out of it...not a good easy to use design IMO.
Really wished this had a belt clip to secure in pant watch pocket and I’d be sold.
I understand.
Agree but looking at it I bet I could pretty easily make one for it.
Nope. They are not worth it. Easier to carry in pocket.
das 1988 why is it not worth it? The watch pocket is a perfect place to secure something that size with a clip.
@@tjvaichus Makes it bulkier and they almost always break or get loose. Not a neccessary addition for such a small pocketable utility knife.
Would have been nice to see it next to the EAB just for size comparison.
I'll make sure to do that when I do an update video on this knife.
Bought the giaco maker knife over this, mainly because this doesn't have the pocket clip and the flick to open fun . But I do like the prybar on this .
I might need to try the Giaco Maker. Hadn’t heard of it before.
Maybe it would be possible to use rit dye to get a different color?
Seen this at the store the other day. Almost bought it. Will probably eventually get one but did not like the plastic button that moves the blade in and out.
Love the pry bar on it though.
We'll see how it holds up on the job site.
That button is metal, not plastic. The only part of these that isn't metal are the G10 scales.
T Cruikshank thanks for the information. I only held it for probably less then a minute at the store and put it back. Probably felt like plastic since it’s surrounded by plastic.
@@BudgetBuiltDiesel Understood. I thought the same before I bought it. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. Also, the G10 handles are a dense epoxy fiber material and don't feel plasticy at all. Gerber has produced some items of questionable quality in past years, but this isn't one of those. Hopefully it's a sign of good things to come from them.
Not currently available on amazon. Checked there using your link.
You can get them direct from Gerber at www.gerbergear.com
I like my Rexford RUT V4 so much but use my RUK every day it seems..I don’t know how I feel about gerber and what they have become..I just feel after their gimmicky run with bear grylls, it lowered or tarnished their quality..i don’t know if it is me but back when gerber started with knives, it was hard to say anything bad about them and I WANTED to own their knives/tools..now, not so much...great review as usual!
Edit: when I first started buying gerber knives..not when they started making knives lol
I like the Rexford design. It's just a bit pricey, even for me. Pretty sweet though.
TX Tool Crib it is pricey..but I feel like you would feel that it’s worth it..
Looks cool but not durable. Mine broke within 3 weeks. The locking slide mechanism broke off the utility blade holding part. 8:38 if you look closely on the left of the button, it's only that thin piece of metal holding them together. After looking online seems like multiple people have the same problem as I did.
Nice knife but if you don't need the other tools try the Stanley quickslide, it has a pocket clip and a carabiner made in the end.
Lot of people have mentioned the Stanley Quickslide as an option.
Honestly, only way I've used that "pry bar" part is to put tension on screws that won't back out. Better that a full size on, especially when doing cabinets.
I understand, it certainly has it’s limitations.
Stanley makes one just like it but it does have a pocket clip and carabineer
What is the Stanley model?
@@txtoolcrib the quick slide
My two cents: Remove the prybar and bottle opener, make it only as large/thick as needed and make in the US/Canada and I'd buy one! I actually prefer no pocket clip on my utility blade as it sits deep in my pocket as a backup blade...I guess what I really want is the Big Idea Designs TPT Slide...are they made in USA? Can't seem to tell...regardless they have a prybar/flathead on the back I'll never use too! I'm rambling...great video!
JellyForSale I would have to double check but I do believe that the big idea design brand is 100% US made.
Geez a utility knofe that would actually be useful for retail. Some of those boxes have so much glue you need something to pry it unless you want to ruin your fingers
This will replace my Gerber Shard and EAB since it’s basically both tools combined.
You’re right.
Like the tool but the lanyard hole should be an oxygen wrench or 1/4" bit driver.
I think for this application, the driver hole would have been more suited to this tool.
It’s super fun having to remove your lanyard to use a function.
Hey man, any update about this tool from Gerber? Been eyeing on this one for quite a loooong time now, how is it holding up, specially the sliding mechanism for the blade? Thanks, hope you could give us an update video.
My husband has been using his for a year and he loves it. He uses it all the time with no issues
@@sherryg5813 thanks for the reply, very much appreciated, 🤙🏼🇵🇭
Thanks for the video. I’ve been wanting to add a utility knife to my edc bag, this might be perfect for it.
Are there any other decently priced compact utility knives you would recommend?
I collect these things. Twosun knives makes a good utility knife .titanium multiable function
Ed Stringer brilliant, I’ll have to check it out. Thanks very much.
I wasn't aware of the Twosun version. Bid Idea Design has a couple of versions, but they are a bit pricey.
We use these a lot at work.
Gerber EAB is great, but feels a bit loose w/ standard blades. I prefer the Dewalt carbide ones.
The Workpro folders are cheap & small w/ a quick change mechanism. I got a 3-pk for the crew. 1 of is as solid as the Gerber, 2 are a bit loose.
Honestly the egg-shaped "Sheffield" brand at Walmart is really good. While you're there, grab a lightweight "Hyper Tough" 4-way fiberglass screwdriver. Really good edc, also insulated & UL-rated , made in the US. & $5. they're also sold under Stanley & Allway.
17 XV I try to avoid Walmart as much as possible, but the next time I’m there I will try to remember.
Shame that your amazon link shows the knife as unavailable. It also appears that nobody else is even selling them on Amazon.
They sold out really fast. Hopefully they will restock soon.
I think I'm going to try adding a niteize clip
You get a chance to integrate it yet?
@@txtoolcrib never got one lol, I ended up designing a utility knife to be 3d printed instead
Nice
Hey texas!!! What's the update on the gerber how'd she hold up? How long did u use it.?
I used it for a couple of weeks, held up fine during that time. Though to fair, that isn’t long enough to give it an accurate assessment. It was a bit too bulky in the pocket for my taste.
How was you experience with it? Did it hold up well?
Would the nite ize pocket clip work on this perhaps?
I am going to try it. I meant to try it before now, just been busy with other things.
This soon will be my EDC instead of my bulky razor blade.
Let me know how it works out for you.
How are u changing the blade so easily? Are u hafthor bjornson??
Great Tool . Just found it on DLT trading for 18.95 !
Nice
Looks like a great tool! I’d much rather they put some screw driver on it then a bottle opener & I needs a belt buckle! I’d be sold if it was
Interesting concept.
Looks like it needs a pocket sheath that clips on the pocket?
That would be a viable option as well.
I can’t find it at Amazon
Stock has been running out pretty fast unfortunately.
Also no longer available from amazon.
Yeah apparently they have run out of stock. I will try to update it when they become available again.
I think if you used it as a keychain and let your keys hang out it would work well to hold it in a convenient spot
That's a thought. Certainly would eliminate the pocket bulk.
What about the prybrid x ?
Just went up.
Etsy have a pocket clip available
Not bad but nothing I’ve seen yet beats the features and practically of my leatherman wave.
The Wave is pretty awesome.
Victorinox Spirit X, did beat my Leatherman.
Not available on Amazon anymore! Do you know anywhere else they sell this?
www.gerbergear.com , They seem to be running out of stock everywhere else at the moment.
Thank you
Terry McCray no problem.
Blade hq has them for $22
My bad It was knife center for $23
Screw threw the "lanard" hole to secure clip
Possibly.
Good idea.
Does need a pocket clip. It’s in our pocket more than it’s in our hand. Still gonna but one, but. Dang it.
That is kind of how I feel about it as well.
A person could spend a ludicrous amount of money these days for a pocket utility blade-equipped multi-tool. OR, a person could just get this one and have way the best deal for the money. It's built like a little teeny MAC truck. The tinier version is even cuter (Prybrid X) and almost as effective.
It is pretty stout. Probably the most impressive part.
@@txtoolcrib Or, frankly you could be happy for the rest of your life and get a RUK. I did and am. ;-)
Is it made in the USA?
No sir, this one is not made in the USA.
How’s it holding up for you?
Pretty well, I will say that I don't carry it much though. I have found it to be a bit bulky and prefer the Gerber EAB Lite a little better.
To me a utility knife goes in my nail/tool bag I carry a pocket knife for when I don’t have my tool bag. I have screwdriver, a painters tool, small pry bar I don’t need a over priced gadget also.
I understand. We have fastbacks on the job site, but having a small utility knife on me has saved me many a trip back to the tool box.
Yeah it depends what you do. I'm a farmer and don't carry a tool belt everywhere but need tools constantly for odd little things. Just stuff like bending wire ends or split pins the pry end will work like a thimble.
I’d love to hear how this little guy has held up since you first got it, did it end up becoming part of your edc? Thanks for your videos, big fan of your content!
I got one and I use it everyday. Def glade I grabbed mine.
No pocket clip is a deal breaker for me. I'd jump on that in a heartbeat if it had one.
I understand.
... Gerber orange??
121dodgers not for this one.
