The center axis driver features a magnetic attachment head, which supports any number of standard bits. Unlike traditional multitools, which typically feature a lower profile driver, the Center Drive’s driver juts out of the tool’s frame 3.25″ and curves inward towards the center axis, allowing for improved torque and rotation. The arm opposite this one features both a 3″ ruler as well as an 8cm ruler.Įasily the most impressive feature of the Center Drive is the tool of its namesake, the full-size center axis driver. These tools lock into place when fully extended and can be retracted by using a thumb-break slide release on the opposite side of the arm, which also incorporates a lanyard hole. The opposite arm of the Center Drive features the following tools: The blade also locks into place when fully extended via a tension lockbar. According to Gerber, this blade is “30% larger than the competition” press materials use the main blade on the Leatherman OHT for the size comparison. The main blade on the Center Drive is a 3.25″ fine edge blade. The pliers consist of a needle nose point with a standard center, as well as rotatable carbide wire cutters and a wire stripper. The pliers are spring loaded, and are released upward via a side-mounted sliding button, purposely designed for one-thumb activation, rather than the swing open design on traditional multitools. The Center Drive is manufactured from stainless steel, and features 14 individual tools within its frame. This is the Gerber Center Drive, a brand-new made-in-the-USA multitool that’s launching today, and Gerber sent us a pre-production model a few days ahead of the launch to check it out. ![]()
