Whether you’re on a weeklong backpacking trip, an overnight car camping expedition, or on a hike to the summit of your most favorite peak, it’s nice to have a multi-tool that is light, compact, functional, and easy to you. The Gerber Crucial is just that. We’ve been testing out this multi tool over the past few months and we ended up wanting to bring it everywhere. Typically while out on an adventure, you don’t want to be carrying around a bulky knife or multi-tool. At the same time, you don’t want a multi-tool the size of a toothpick because you can’t apply any pressure to it when working on repairs.

The Gerber Crucial comes with a carabineer to clip on your to your belt buckle or zipper, making it easily accessible, it also doubles as a bottle opener when it’s time to kick back. Other tools included with the Crucial include a set up needle nose pliers, flat head and Phillips screwdriver, wire cutters, and a 3 inch serrated knife with a blunt head. The multi-tool weighs in at 5 ouches and its 3.6 inches in length. We found the Gerber Crucial to be a great bang for your buck.
