Gerber Multi-Tool for Demolition Techs

Gerber makes a multi-tool for demolition explosive technicians that has a blasting cap crimper in its pliers. I probably find that cooler than is warranted.

   SOG makes one too, which I prefer to the Gerber because you don’t lose the gripping teeth.

   I am currently in Iraq, and I use it every day.

   I used to use a Gerber (also stationed overseas with the army), but the damn thing rusted, then snapped. I much prefer the more sturdy Leatherman or the more traditional Victorianox (sic?). SOGs are pretty good too, but a little expensive.

   Just don’t take it on the plane with you when you fly, eh?

   Is this what the guys had that rigged the C4 for 9/11?

   It is a beautiful looking tool, I’ll say.

   Had the old one years ago. Loved it. They told us to “never” crimp caps or det-cord with it. We did it all the time and we never went boom. Also that price is incredibly good.
