Gerber Suspension NXT 15-in-1 Multitool
Product Information, Not A Review
Quick Specs
What Stands Out
What To Check
The Suspension NXT is Gerber's butterfly-style pliers tool with a pocket clip on the outside. It is one of Amazon's top sellers in Multitools, and it sits in the spot between a keychain tool and a full-size, sheath-carry multi-tool.
The clip is the headline. Most pliers tools want a belt sheath, and this one clips into a pocket the way a folding knife does.
The Numbers That Matter
15 tools, all locking. Pliers, a wire cutter, scissors, four drivers, openers, an awl and a file. Locking tools matter when you are pushing on a screwdriver and do not want it folding back on your fingers.
4.25 in closed. Long enough to give the pliers real grip, short enough to clip in a front pocket.
2.25 in combo blade. Part plain, part serrated. The serrations help on rope and line.
| Spec | What it decides |
|---|---|
| Pocket clip | Pocket carry instead of a belt sheath |
| All tools lock | Safer pressure on drivers and blade |
| 4.25 in closed | Fits a front pocket or a tackle tray |
| Limited lifetime warranty | Gerber stands behind it |
Who It Is For
The dad who wants a pliers tool in the gym bag or tackle box for tightening a bolt, cutting line and opening a bottle at a cookout. If you want a saw and replaceable cutters, the Leatherman Wave Plus is the full-size option. The Leatherman Wingman is the other pocket-clip pliers tool on this shelf. For breaking down boxes, the Gerber EAB Lite keeps a utility blade on hand.

The Short Version
The Suspension NXT is a clip-carry pliers tool built for the gym bag, the tackle box or the glove box. It is the kind of tool I would want in the places where losing one off a dock would not ruin the day. If you need a saw or a plain-edge blade, step up to a full-size tool.
