Multitool Gerber Suspension Truss black — folding pliers, wire cutters, serrated blade

Gerber Suspension Truss black is a compact folding multitool designed for everyday carry and general-purpose tasks. It features folding pliers with integrated wire cutters, a straight main blade and a serrated blade, plus additional utility tools built into a durable black-finished frame. The tool balances portability and functionality, allowing quick access to pliers and cutting implements when performing field repairs, camping tasks or light workshop jobs.

Advantages

The multitool offers a compact, foldable design that keeps pliers and blades protected when not in use while allowing one-handed opening for frequent tasks. Integrated wire cutters are positioned within the pliers for reliable cutting of soft and medium-gauge wire. A combination of a straight blade and a serrated blade enables precise slicing as well as aggressive cutting on fibrous materials. The black finish provides corrosion resistance and a low-reflective appearance suited to outdoor use.

• Emergency situations requiring a compact multi-function tool

How to use

Open the tool by unfolding the handles until the pliers lock in the open position for secure use. To use the wire cutters, position the wire between the cutter jaws near the pivot and apply steady pressure. Deploy the straight or serrated blade by opening the blade from the handle until it locks; use the straight blade for precise cutting and the serrated blade for tougher, fibrous materials. Close and fold each tool back into the handle after cleaning and drying to maintain function and safety.

Usage recommendations

For safe operation, inspect the multitool before use to ensure moving parts are free of debris and locking mechanisms engage fully. Regularly clean and lightly lubricate pivot points to prolong service life. Avoid cutting hardened steel or materials beyond the specified capacity of hand-held wire cutters; use appropriate dedicated tools for heavy-duty metalworking.
