NEW Gerber Center-Drive Rescue Multi-Tool: MOLLE or Berry Compliant
Adam Scepaniak 10.20.22
When we are looking at multi-tools we want them to have everything plus the kitchen sink. Simultaneously, we know we can’t have everything (as hard as we may try), so we look to get as innovative of features as possible. This very motivation lead Gerber to create their Center-Drive series and continue to refine it. The NEW Gerber Center-Drive Rescue multi-tool looks to give users that center-point advantage along with other life-saving tools on board.

The Center-Drive Rescue offers uncompromising performance through revolutionary design, now with a one-hand opening strap cutter. The innovative center-axis driver opens to align like a real screw driver, yielding maximum torque and rotation. No productivity is sacrificed with a 2.5″ internal partially serrated blade and one-thumb opening sliding jaws. Full size, real tools—the multi-tool just got a reality check. Available with MOLLE-compatible or Berry-Compliant sheath options.
We all know how important it is to have a multi-tool that gives you a bit set over the “center” of your multi-tool. Otherwise, you are slipping, sliding, and stripping out hardware – not good. Also, it is nice to have a utilitarian knife and such life-saving tools as a strap/seat belt cutter (take it from this firefighter, that can be invaluable). So, if you are in the market for a new multi-tool, the Gerber Center-Drive Rescue could be right for you. As always, let us know all of your thoughts in the Comments below! We always appreciate your feedback.
