Yo, dads—ever been out camping, rocking that dadcore flannel, aiming to be the weekend hero, but your gear fails you when the family’s counting on you for safety and survival? Nothing kills off-grid vibes like a dull blade or a missing tool. Enter the Gerber Gear Suspension-NXT 15-in-1 Multi-Tool, your pocket-sized sidekick for conquering the wilderness and keeping the clan safe, all while looking badass.
This 190g, 10.8cm (closed) powerhouse packs 15 tools: spring-loaded needle-nose pliers, wire cutters, a 5.7cm partially serrated blade, scissors, three flathead screwdrivers, a Phillips driver, awl, file, ruler, can/bottle opener, wire stripper, and lanyard point. Its butterfly design and locking tools ensure safety, while the pocket clip keeps it handy.
Footsteps in the Forest calls it a budget champ for light camping tasks, though the blade could be sharper. CleverHiker praises its one-handed tool access and durability for fixing camp gear, but notes it’s not ultralight at 6.7oz. Reddit users dig the locking feature for safety but mention stiff tool deployment needing break-in.
Lads, this multi-tool’s your dadcore dream—versatile, safe, and affordable for off-grid heroics, from tent repairs to opening brews for the crew. Ready to rule the campsite? Grab the Gerber Suspension-NXT and own the wild, champ!
