Micro-Sized Pocket Multitools

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Gerber Armbar Drive Multi-Tool Comes in Urban Blue and Onyx

— June 16, 2024 — Lifestyle
The Gerber Armbar Drive Multi-Tool is an ultra-compact take on the humble pocket multitool that's engineered to provide the user with just the right number of tools for an array of small tasks. The everyday carry (EDC) accessory is equipped with eight functions that are packed into its compact form that measures in at 3.625-inches when closed and 0.71-inches in thickness. The tool takes a decidedly minimalist approach to multitools that have reached much larger sizes than in previous years with many providing 20 or more functions.

The Gerber Armbar Drive Multi-Tool comes in Onyx and Urban Blue color options, which are priced at $45 each. The product responds to increasing demand for tools that are inherently portable without losing sight of functional needs.
