Size: the 2 tools are nearly identical in size. The Dime is a tiny bit longer due to the external bottle opener. The bottle opener was a selling point for the dime, as the squirt's bottle opener is a joke, in addition to being inconvenient to access, so I ended up carrying a separate bottle opener.

Knives: The leatherman has a more traditional blade shape. As another review mentioned, the shape on the dime is probably safer. Thinking about it, the main thing I used the point for was opening packages, so no big loss assuming the package opener works satisfactorily. I have not had the chance to try it yet.

DRIVERS: The screwdrovers are comparable. The Dimes flathead is a bit finer, so possobly a tad more versatile. That said, the files on the dime are a joke. They don't even seem to have enough bite to file nails. The squirt's files are pretty beefy, and I've used them on metal a few times with success.

Scissors: comparable. The Dimes seem a bit more sturdy.

Tweezers: a major selling point. The PS4 version of the squirt has none. I love pocketknife style tweezers as I cannot find similarly fine tweezers outside of a pocketknife. They are excellent for splinter removal.

Pliers: jury's still out on this. The jaws are the same length. The Dime has a round inner section, whereas the squirt's is just a different angle. I prefer round. The squirt's entire forejaws come together, whereas there's a flat spot on the tip of the dime that comes together, then the toothed section runs parallel to each other about 1mm apart. This seems like a less than ideal setup for pulling things but better for gripping thim objects.

Build quality overall is very good on both tools.

因此，这篇评论主要是比较这些工具的。

价格：Gerber价格大约是莱瑟曼喷射PS4的1/3，所以我必须试试。

尺寸：这两种工具的大小几乎相同。由于有外部开瓶器，这个工具钳稍微长一点。开瓶器是工具钳的卖点，因为开瓶器不方便使用，所以我最后只拿了一个单独的开瓶器。

刀：莱瑟曼具有更传统的刀型。正如另一篇评论所提到的，这个工具钳的形状可能更安全。考虑到这一点，我主要用它来打开包装，所以如果开包器很好用，我就不会有很大损失。不过我还没有机会尝试一下。

螺丝刀：螺丝刀还不错。Dimes Fuathad更精细一点，因此拥有更多的通用性。也就是说，原来这个工具钳上的东西基本没什么用，他们甚至连挫指甲的力气都没有。镊子的案很结实，而且我已经地在金属上用过几次了。

剪刀：都差不多。不过这种工具钳看起来更结实一些。

镊子：一个主要卖点。PS4版本没有喷头。我喜欢小刀式的镊子，因为我在小刀外面找不到同样精细的镊子。用它们来分离碎片是极好的。

尖嘴钳：这个东西我还没有定论。下颚的长度相同。这种工具钳有一个圆形的内截面，而莱瑟曼喷射PS4只是一个不同的角度，相比之下我更喜欢圆的。莱瑟曼喷射PS4的整个前半部分汇合在一起，而在这种工具钳的顶端有一个扁平的点，然后齿形部分互相平行，相距约1mm，这用来拉东西似乎更好，主要是更适合拉开薄的物体。

这两种工具上整体质量都很好。

ms about the tool's capabilities are really more a function of the inherent limitations of any multi-tool this size.

The spring loaded pliers are commendably well aligned and come together very precisely. So much so that they could work as tweezers in some applications (although the Dime actually comes with a small set of tweezers that slide into one of the tools outer scales). The pliers have a unique stepped tip design, only the outer 1/8" actually make contact when the jaws are fully closed. That might sound bad, but in practice the arrangement works quite well for small, delicate tasks, allowing the user to work very closely and precisely. And let's be honest: any tool this small is only going to be useful for small, relatively delicate tasks; you can forget about working with any fastener larger than about 3/8". If you find that unreasonably limiting, you should really be looking at a full sized multi-tool, like the excellent Leatherman Wave.

Gerber eschewed a more conventional spear or clip saber shape for the knife blade and instead went with a modified sheep's foot design. An unusual choice, but that shape, along with a slight belly along the honed edge, makes the most of the blade's minuscule 1 1/4" length. It also encourages use that applies pressure only in direct opposition to the way the blade closes (no stabbing or auguring with this blade shape); a sound engineering decision given that this is a non-locking blade.

The package opener is a very pleasant surprise. It absolutely excels at opening those infernal clear plastic clam-shell retail packages without damaging the contents, something all too easy to do if you're using a regular knife blade (do NOT ask me how I know that). The actual cutting edge is positioned at the end of the tool blade, is reverse swept and only about 5/16" long. It requires more of a pulling than a pushing stroke, which fosters much better control. The end result is a tool that's very efficient at slicing through that hard plastic while staying clear of the package's contents. So much so it easily earns it's keep as dedicated, single-purpose tool on the Gerber Dime.

The scissors are sharp and well engineered, but any substantial cutting job would be extremely tedious due to their diminutive size. I use them to trim my nails. The flat head and pseudo-phillips head screw drivers are what they are: tiny and limited to light duty tasks. I call the smaller a "pseudo-phillips" head because it's only 2-dimensional; really just a scaled-down flat head that's tapered so it can fit a phillips head fastener. The phillips driver blade also sports a dual-sided file. The file is one of only two real nits I have with the Gerber Dime. It's a true cut-file design, but the cutting isn't very deep or aggressive on either side. At best it could relieve some bothersome edge on a small piece of metal or hard plastic. Beyond that it makes a serviceable nail file.

The other minor complaint I have is the split ring that is attached to the lanyard hole. It's just spring wire and not particularly strong. I like to use a paracord lanyard to suspend my mini-multi tool inside my pants pocket with the other end attached to a belt loop. I find it rides much more comfortably than just resting at the very bottom of my pocket. But after about a week of supporting the tool's (tiny) weight at the end of the lanyard, that split ring began to deform and pull apart. I discarded it and now run the lanyard through the bottle opener (which, by the way, is quite effective at its intended function).

The Gerber Dime is a much better and more thoughtfully executed design than the mini multi-tool it replaces, a clunky version sold exclusively at Cabelas. Don't be put off by my rating of only 4 stars; I'm really quite enthusiastic about the Dime; it's just that I'm a bit more realistic and conservative in my product ratings than some reviewers are. Very few products are perfect, including this one. But its as nice a mini multi-tool as I've yet found.

弹簧钳很整齐，组合得很精确。所以在一些应用中它们可以用作镊子（尽管Gerber Dime本身确实还附带了一套小镊子，可以将它们滑到工具的一个外标上）。钳子有一个独特的阶梯尖端设计，外部只有1/8。实际使用时是完全关闭的。这听起来可能很糟糕，但实际上，这种设计对小而精细的工作非常有效，让用户能够非常精确地使用。老实说：任何这种小的工具只适合小而复杂的任务，你可以不使用任何大于3/8的紧固件。如果你觉得这个限制不合理，你应该看看一个全尺寸的多工具，比如特别好的Leatherman Wave。

Gerber没有使用传统的矛或夹刀的刀刃，而是采用了改良的羊脚设计。这是一个不寻常的选择，但这种形状，加上沿着轻微的肚皮沿珩边缘，使刀刃的最小长度为1/4英寸。它还使用压力，仅在直接反对刀片关闭的方式（没有刺伤或增加这个刀片形状）；考虑到这是一个非锁定刀片，这个做法很合理。

开瓶器出乎我的意料。在打开那些透明塑料包装时，它绝对比普通刀片好（不要问我怎么知道）。实际切削处在刀刃的末端，向后只有大约5/16英寸长。它需要更多的拉动而不是推动，这方便更好的控制刀片。作为工具，它可以非常有效地切割坚硬的塑料，同时保证包装内物体完好。因此它很容易被看作一种只有单一用途的工具。

剪刀很锋利，设计得很好。但是任何实质性的工作都会因为它的小尺寸而变得不太方便。我一般用它来修剪指甲。伪菲利普斯头螺丝刀比较小而且局限于轻任务。我称之为较小的“伪菲利普斯”头，是因为它只是二维；实际上只是一个缩小的平头，它是锥形的，这样它就可以装一个菲利普斯头扣件。菲利普斯驱动刀片也有一个双面的运动扣件。这个扣件是我在Geber Dime上看到的仅有的两个真实螺丝之一。这个切割扣件设计真的很好，不会很深的切割到物体里面。它最多只会触碰到一些比较麻烦的小金属或者硬塑料的边缘。除此之外，它也是一个有用的指甲锉刀。

我的另一个小抱怨是附在挂绳孔上的分裂环，是一个不是很结实的弹簧线，。我喜欢用挂绳把它挂在口袋上，另一端挂在皮带环上。我发现这比放在口袋里舒服多了。但大约一周时间，在绳索末端工具的（微小）重量使分裂环开始变形。我就把它扔掉了，现在通过开瓶器来弄挂绳（顺便说一下，它其实还是挺有用的）。

Geber Dime比先前的小型工具设计得更好，那个笨拙的小型工具只在Cabelas销售。不要被我4颗星的评级吓到，我对Gerber Dime真的很感兴趣，只是我在产品评级上更现实和保守。很少有产品是完美的，这个也不例外。但它是我目前找到的最好的迷你多工具。

servers/computers.

Don't expect this to be a tank because it's not. In my one photo you can see I've bent the plyers a bit and they no longer line up.

I've also belt the screw driver bits a little bit over time.

For what it is and it's price it's definitely worth it. If you want something more robust you're looking at something to fit on your belt or take up more pocket space so there's a trade off.

But for this, a small micro multi tool it's very good if you don't push the soft metals to their breaking point during use. Like anything you need to pick the right tool for the job.

This has been in my pocket every day for two years and has always helped me get the job done. I'm very happy with my purchase.

在过去的两年里，我基本上用它达到了我的所有目的。我用它快速调整一些物体，还用它打开或者说撬开数据中心周围的一些东西，替换服务器或计算机中的部分。

不过不要期望太高，因为它不是坦克。在我的一张照片中，你可以看到我已经把钳子弄弯了一点，没那么直了。

后来螺丝刀也歪了一点。

无论怎样，它的价格是绝对值得的。如果你想要更结实的东西，那你就要找适合你腰带的或者有一个更大的口袋，这样才有用。

但对于这个，一个微型多功能工具，如果你在使用过程中不把软金属推到断裂点，那是非常好的，因为你要为工作选择合适的工具。

这两年我一直把它放在我的口袋里用来完成我的工作。我对这次购物非常满意。

d don't get much use, wire cutters on the pliers can barely cut a plastic zip tie, lanyard hole is very small and requires a small gauge ring, nail file/phillips flips into the keychain and is obstructed by the bottle opener when the body is fully closed, nail file is useless.

优点：锋利的刀，用来开盒子和箱子很好。

缺点：剪刀是可怕的，钳子很小，没有太多的用途，钳子上的线切割机切割塑料拉链都不行，挂绳孔非常小，需要一个小规格的环，当完全关闭时，指甲锉菲利普斯翻转到钥匙链会被开瓶器挡住，所以指甲锉是没用的。
