Here we have a comparison between the older Gerber Suspension, and the newer model Gerber Suspension NXT. #gerbergear @GerberGear

00:00 Comparison preface
02:55 Gerber Suspension
07:27 Gerber Suspension NXT
13:35 Struggling with the NXT locks
14:09 Side by side comparison
15:54 Side by side quality issues
16:58 Thumb studs

The older Suspension multi-tool, is a great budget/beginner tool with 12 tools, easy to use locking mechanism, well thought out tool choices, thumb studs for easy deployment of tools, and a comfortable grip. The downside, is the original Suspension is discontinued, although, they can be still found just about everywhere that Gerber gear is sold. On a side note, all of my original Gerber Suspensions came with sheaths.

The newer Suspension NXT, has 15 tools, is a tad longer than its predecessor, and a bit lighter. Unfortunately the NXT has lost many of the good traits the original version had, and the one in this review is unusually poor quality for a Gerber product. So I'm not sure if I received some kind of knock-off, or someone was asleep in the factory when mine was produced.
Also the NXT model does not come with a sheath, most likely due to the added belt clip.

Either way, this video shows the difference between the tools, and pro's and cons.
