Can't argue with free, especially when you already get an awesome deal when you purchase your Aimpoint through OpticsPlanet. Nothing to complain about - even comes with a handy belt pouch so it does not jiggle around in your pack / pocket.

I'm not too particular about multitools, so I'll probably give this one away to one of the kids.

This is a solid multi-tool. The Swiss Army line of multi-tools have been my go-to for a LONG time. Trying a Gerber was refreshing. This model impressed me with it's light weight and ample tool selections. The spring return-to-open for the pliers is what sets these guys apart from other plier tools. Definitely handy. However, I'm used to non spring pliers and don't know how much use this would be. Time will tell. The individual tools are hearty and easy to extract with a positive locking mechanism that keeps them held solidly in place when you need to apply force yet is easy to disengage when finished. Very nice. What detracts from this otherwise great design is: A) the abbreviated Phillips head is small and not as desirable for higher torque applications. OK in a pinch but a stuck bolt/screw head would be better dislodged by a full Phillips head driver. More glaringly, B) The scissors, while capable in function leave a bit to be desired ergonomically. The scissors MUST be folded COMPLETELY ...

Got this bundled with an ACOG I purchased. Never been a big fan of the multi tools. But it has come in handy a few times already and I've been happy I had it around. Got it with my ACOG as a freebie, but at the list price under 30 bucks, I'd say thats a great deal. A good quality tool at an amazing price.

I ordered both the suspension and the deisel(their more expensive model) and much prefer the suspension models operation, balance and toolset. I feel like for the money there isn't a better multi tool out there.

I've had Gerber tools in the past that have rusted before my eyes after their first use, but these are holding up pretty well on the dive side.

I had so many Swiss Army knives when I was a kid, so it was a pleasant surprise to get this tool bundled with an ACOG scope that I bought. It has so many different tools I can go from opening my beer to sawing wood. Awesome.
