armor or other equipment. i'm amazed at how often the scissors come in handy too. i thought that a goofy thing to have until i got this tool, and now i cannot imagine not having them handy. the pliers are just the right size for most jobs, and the cutters are just fine for cutting the bands off of equipment when needed. for my money gerber has a winner here and if i ever lose this one i will replace it with the same model.
i got one at ... & was happy after it was broken in.
of course it will break!
i have two gerber 400's, one with the tool kit.
