Customer Review: This sucks


I ordered this product at the beginning of December and I never recieved it. Thanks alot for taking my money and not sending me the product


Customer Review: Classic pen knife .. But the USB drive.


The twist is the USB drive. It works great but the plastic sleeve on the drive is not worthy if being in this knife. It is flimsy and will break. Mine did after only a handful of removals from the knife. It still works after some super glue and I just use it separately as a thumb drive. I now have a nice pen knife with a big hole in it. If your are not going to ever remove it from the knife it is fine. An aluminum or steel sleeve with a steel hook instead of plastic would make all the difference. Plastic=Cheap/Flimsy, Not what this brand is known for. Just buy them separate.

If you like the features of the 76CSx but don't need an electronic compass and a barometric altimeter, check out the Garmin GPSMap 76Cx.

Customer Review: Bad display, bad graphics, very disappointed


I don't know if any device maker can still find such a lousy LCD screen to put into their design; the LCD screen of this product reminds me a 1980 PC with really bad graphics display, and they still manage to charge people with a premium price. Nowadays, a $500 PC with more expensive components has a screen much bigger and better. This small device made by Garmin is a rip-off, just from the LCD point of view.


Customer Review: Trail Tracking is best feature.


Leaves a breadcrumb trail showing you where you've been. Great for exploring and getting back safely.

Victorinox SwissMemory 256 MB (Silver Alox)

From the makers of the original Swiss Army Knife, this 2-1/4-inch-long tool combines the Swiss Army Knife's renowned versatility and a removable 256 MB USB memory stick for storing and transporting data such as music, photos, and text files. Displaying the Swiss Army Knife's famed Swiss-flag logo of white cross against a red background, the rugged silver Alox housing also holds a knife blade, a combination nail file and screw driver, a scissors, a retractable ballpoint pen, a LED mini light, and a key ring. Accompanying the tool is a USB cable for connecting the memory stick to PCs and MACs.

About Victorinox
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The forerunner of that name dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor or versatility.

Gerber 04171 Suspension Butterfly Opening Multi-Plier, with Sheath

Gerber 04171 Suspension Butterfly Opening Multi-Plier, with Sheath

Gerber 04171 Suspension Butterfly Opening Multi-Plier, with Sheath

About the Suspension Multi-Plier Multitool
This engineering masterpiece was inspired by the bridges of Portland, Oregon, with all the down-and-dirty performance characteristics users expect and require. This is a classic workhorse with spring-loaded pliers, the patented Saf.T.Plus component locking system, a ballistic nylon sheath, and the very same structural integrity that goes into every Gerber tool. More than just a sleek-looking son-of-gun, this tool has an open-frame configuration that's a real break though where the industry is concerned. But just because it's got pretty lines, there's no reason you can't use it in some ugly situations.

Multitool Capabilities:

  • Needlenose pliers
  • Wire cutter
  • Fine edge knife
  • Serrated edge knife
  • Saw
  • Scissors
  • Crosspoint screwdriver
  • Small and medium flat blade screwdrivers
  • Can opener
  • Bottle opener
  • Lanyard hole

Key Technical Specs:

  • Length open: 6 inches
  • Length closed: 3.5 inches
  • Handle material: stainless steel
  • Sheath material: ballistic nylon

Warranty:
Gerber Legendary Blades guarantees this product with a limited lifetime warranty.

What's in the box:
Gerber Suspension Multi-Plier and nylon sheath.

Gerber's History of Ingenuity
Savvy. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail. These are just a few of the company traits that contributed to Gerber's emergence as a world leader in outdoor gear. Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910, and one Christmas, he hired a local knife-maker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular, Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939.

It makes sense, really. An idea man gets the idea of a lifetime and turns it into a major outdoor brand -- one that commands respect among knife-lovers and knife-makers alike. And now that same high regard is spreading in new directions, in the form of many outstanding products such as tools, personal L.E.D. lighting, and backpack hydration.


Customer Review: Broken within two weeks.


I was using the pliers to hold some wire while doing some fencing and one half of the plier's jaw broke completely off right at the hinge. Absolutely no excuse for this as I used to do the same task with my old Leatherman without any problem.

Also, it is very hard to get the various tools opened.


Customer Review: Weak, won't stand up to heavy use. Don't buy.


This tool broke under use when I tried to use it as part of a home project. I was using the pliers to straighten out a bent piece of metal, something that I've done tons of times with regular pliers. I figured that I could use the Gerber tool the same way.

I was wrong. When I encountered a particular stubborn piece of metal, and it wouldn't give, I had to crank extra hard. Instead of the piece I was working on bending, the Gerber tool broke! One of the small metal retaining pieces that prevents the plier handles from collapsing bent under the pressure of my hand.

Folks, I'm not that strong. I wasn't applying some superhuman amount of strength to the tool. Nevertheless, it still broke under the strain of me gripping it extra hard. I don't recommend anybody getting this tool if you're going to use it for serious work, or going to depend on it for an emergency.
