Gear Armbar Trade 8-in-1 Pocket Knife EDC Multitool with Blade, Pry Bar, and Hammer for Camping, Burnt Orange

The Armbar Trade is a great everyday carry option for regular tasks. I use it multiple times a day, from open packages, quick fixes, replacing toy batteries etc. I usually carry a pocket knife or a small fixed blade, but I wanted something with a bit more versatility without the bulk of a full-sized multi-tool. My Leatherman and Gerber multitools were just a bit too heavy or stood-out more than I wanted to for daily carry. This one fits seamlessly in the pocket — compact, practical, and ready when you need it. With regular use and a quick shot of WD-40, the straight blade opens much smoother while still maintaining a solid, confident lock. It strikes a perfect balance between function and convenience, making it an excellent lightweight EDC companion.

Positives -At the $20 price point this is an awesome tool. At $30 it’s still ok but I wouldn’t pay that for it. -I love the straight locking blade. It’s locks very strongly and it’s a good side for a lot of tasks. The overall side of the tool makes this a much more convenient knife to use than a lot of multitools. -The hex bit holder is the real star of the show, and it includes both a philips and flathead. The holder doesn’t truly lock but does snap into place and retains hex bits well. I never realized how much versatility a universal hex bit holder gives a tool like this. I can carry a small container of assorted heads and have more like 20-30 tools in my pocket. That’s a lot easier than carrying two whole sets of Allen keys. On the not so positive side: -I’m not sure how the head of this is in any way a hammer or a useful pry bar. It feels like it’s made of aluminum. It is a nice bottle opener though. -I don’t know why you’d want a saw on a tool like this, and if you’re going to have a saw why not have a can opener instead of an awl? I’d be happy to ditch the saw so that the tool was thinner, or I’d prefer scissors. -The thickness of the tool means it’s not especially comfortable to carry like a regular pocket knife. I usually drop it all the way into my pocket and only clip it to my jeans if I’m going to be using it a lot. It’s just not that comfortable to wear all the time. -I’d really like a little nub to make the knife one-handed opening.

Fantastic for my needs. I bought a couple different ones trying to see which one would work well for me. 1) the price is fantastic 2) lightweight 3) has the best assortment of tools for its form factor.

This is a pretty versatile tool, overall I really like it. I do have a couple minor gripes, one being the bit driver tool folds shut pretty easily if you have to apply good preassure while turning a screw, luckily I haven't pinched my hand in it yet but It probably will happen some day, my other issue with the tool is the retention of the philips/flat head bit, I have had it fall out when I dropped it one time and luckily I found the bit a month later in my driveway rusted over, but it came off with a wire wheel. Also it's very convenient size wise as it fits neatly clipped to my pocket to where I can easily get to my phone still, though I don't have a large phone.

This is a solid, quality multi tool with a slim design, yet still very robust in build quality. I cannot speak to the other functions of this knife, such as blade performance, as I mostly just purchased it for the bit driver and incase I need the other tools it contains. I always have a multi tool on me, as well as multiple pocket knives, and this Gerber Armbar Trade is the one that has been living in my pocket since it arrived. Not tiny, but I am still able to keep it in my 5th pocket on my jeans. Very happy with my purchase, as this is the BEST bit driver on any of my tools, and that is what I purchased it for. (Most of my other tools are Leatherman, which I love but their drivers don’t even come close to this design. However if you are needing a tool such as pliers, this obviously won’t be the right fit). Pick one up and see if you like it as much as I do!!

I got this for my husband. Its the perfect size to fit in his pocket. He said its very useful as well as durable. Its easy to open for quick use.

Gerber quality is second to none! So mamy different tools to have at your disposal in one sleek compact small unit will stand up to just about any job you trow at it . Tazor sharp straight out the packag. Functions flawlessly durability again is amazing takes any reasonable Abuse you throw at it

Does exactly what I need it to do. Perfect size, easy to deploy featuring a sharp knife that holds its edge & is easy to care for. The multitool looks good too. Good value for the price but look for discounts. I will purchase more of these to stash about.

Muy buena calidad, buen filo en la navaja, un poco pesada para mi gusto pero en general muy bien

Excelente navaja, el color es asombroso el metal del que está hecho es muy bueno. La mejor para EDC

La herramienta es muy buena es compacta, robusta y de buena calidad tiene dos pequeños orificios me imagino que son para algún aditamento ya que la navaja cuenta con un clip de sujeción así que desconozco cuál sea su función original en conclusión es una muy buena

Overall happy with the purchase. I bought this Armbar to replace a lost Leatherman Skeletool (3rd one). Chose it as it's smaller, is compatible with the skeletools bits I already have and is less than half the price. Quality reflects the cheaper price, most noticeable in the blade metal and it's not as solid as the leatherman, but it's solid enough. Only minor annoyance is that the bits rattle as they are a little bit loose - they are held with a magnet and not a push fit. I don't see them coming out though.

A great all day carry. Not bulky like most multi tools
