Gerber Crucial Multi-Tool Has You Covered

While it loses clear points for the faux-biner clip and flourescent green handle, the Gerber Crucial could be the next essential multi-tool to find its way into your kit. The Crucial folds up under four inches and packs a slew of handy tools including wire cutters, pliers, flat and Phillips screwdrivers, half-and-half serated/fine blade, and the ever-handy bottle opener. Use it to work your way out of life-threatening situations MacGyver-style and to crack open a Spaten afterwards while telling your buddies all about it. The Crucial will be available September 15, and Gerber is currently accepting pre-orders for the $45 tool on its Web store. [via BB Gadgets]
