 Some flaws. Ok for the money Jan 07, 2010
For the money it's an ok tool, with the following cons:
- There's no spring for the pliers, you gotta move it both directions to open and close.. this wouldn't
be such a problem if it all moved smoothly.. which brings us to..
- Everything moves so stiff, I know some reviewers stated this as being precision in manufacturing.. but from
practical point of view, it makes it annoying to use.
- The pliers don't retract flush into the body, the tip points out making it uncomfortable to use other tools.
- The handles kind of flex under stress.
- Lock mechanism for other tools feels very flimsy.
For the money I don't expect too much, but the flaws are pretty annoying for me to recommend wholeheartedly.

 Very Useful Tool Oct 16, 2009
I received one of these for a gift about 4 years ago. I had never owned anything like this before. Now it is like my wallet, I don't leave home without putting it on. It is the best gift I have ever received and is the handiest tool I have ever owned. I find myself using it almost every day. I have used it for:
Pulling slivers out of my hand
Bending paperclips
cutting string, paper and cardboard
Tightening and loosening both phillips and straight blade screws
Opening paint cans
Cutting and stripping all kinds of wire
Bending the nose pieces on eye glasses
Opening beer bottles
Tightening and loosening bolts
Cutting open cardboard boxes and envelopes
Sharpening pencils
Scoring Sheetrock
Pulling nails
Pulling tension springs, Etc, Etc
Every tool locks in position and the stilleto action is easier to use that the fold out type of multitools.
I don't know what kind of metal it is made of but it is very strong.
If you wear this tool you will be surprised how many times you will reach for it instead of going to the tool box.
Best all a round tool Sep 26, 2009
I have owned the gerber O55OO for many years it is the one tool I use more offten than any other both at home and work. You will wounder how you ever did with out one, once you start useing it. The tool is very conveiently sized and easy'ly fits in your pocket or purse and is ready for just about any job you have around the house, work or in the great outdoors. The tool is light so it wount wiegh you down and the slip joints function smoothly and need very littel in the way maintenance, just a bit oil now again and this tool will last you many years.

Backward Gerber Aug 17, 2009
The Gerber received was an obvious second as the blade was installed backwards with the thumb notch uselessly facing the inside of the tool (see picture). And the blade style was different from the one advertised.

 Good knife, but plier cutters are a weakpoint, it locks up Aug 13, 2009
I've had one knife for 3 years, and it's fine. However, I found one on the side of the road a few months ago, dunno how old it is. It was fine for a month and then whenever it was closed, it would lock up and take some force to open. However, filing down the cutters with a metal file got it back in good condition. It's not my EDC, as it's pretty damned bulky for a Compact; my Classic SAK does nearly everything except has pliers and wire cutters in a nice, neat, and sexy package in black.
