Everyday carry enthusiasts obsess over great men's accessories like sunglasses, wallets, and even headphones, but when it comes to usefulness, you can't beat a great multi-tool. Gerber is one of the biggest players in this arena and there's been nowhere better to score a deal on the brand's best multi-tools and even its pocket knives than on Amazon. While most multi-tools can be bulky in a pocket, Gerber's top-seller weighs less than 2.5 ounces and is about the size of a car fob—and it's on sale right now.
The Gerber Dime 12-in-1 Multi-Tool is now on sale for just $23—a 20% discount on its normal $29 price. This pocket-size multi-tool has earned over 13,000 five-star ratings from Amazon shoppers who say it's a "must-have tool" for everyday carry, and it's currently the No. 1 bestselling model across the entire site. It's available in three colors—black, green, and red—but the black and red offer the greatest savings.
This butterfly-style Gerber multi-tool is one of the brand's most compact, with a closed length of 2.75 inches and a minuscule weight of just 2.2 ounces. Despite its fun-sized nature, it's still plenty strong and capable of tackling stubborn screws, branches, and thick rope thanks to its stainless steel construction. It includes essential tool heads like a knife, small and medium flat-head screwdrivers, spring-loaded pliers, and wire cutters, and it even has some nice-to-have functions, like a box cutter, scissors, and even tweezers.
Shoppers have found a myriad of ways to use their Gerber Dimes, but many say it's a godsend for camping. "I hike and camp a lot and this little tool is my favorite multi-tool to bring with me," a shopper said. "I have quite a few. But I always end up bringing this little guy with me because of its lightweight and small size. But don't let the size fool you. It has a lot of useful features and each feature is intelligently designed and made well."
Whether you're looking for a best buddy for backpacking or an everyday carry essential, Gerber's Dime Multi-Tool should be high up on your list as one of the most convenient and utile options, especially while it's on sale for just $23. Make sure to grab one soon, though, because the price could increase at any time.
