Everyday carry enthusiasts are obsessed with great men’s accessories like sunglasses, wallets, and even headphones, but when it comes to utility, you can’t beat a great multi-tool. Gerber is one of the biggest players in this space, and there’s no better place to get a deal on the brand’s best multi-tools and even pocket knives than Amazon. While most multi-tools can be bulky in your pocket, Gerber’s best-seller weighs less than 2.5 ounces and is about the size of a car key chain, and it’s on sale right now.
The Gerber Dime 12-in-1 Multi-Tool is now on sale for just $23 — a 20% discount off its regular price of $29. This pocket-sized multi-tool has received more than 13,000 five-star ratings from Amazon shoppers who say it’s a “must-have” for everyday carry, and it’s currently the No. 1 best-selling model on the entire site. It’s available in three colors — black, green, and red — but black and red offer the biggest savings.

This butterfly-style Gerber multitool is one of the brand’s most compact, measuring 2.75 inches closed and weighing just 2.2 ounces. Despite its fun-sized build, it’s still plenty powerful when it comes to tackling stubborn screws, branches, and thick ropes, thanks to its stainless steel construction. It includes basic tool attachments like a knife, small and medium flat-head screwdrivers, spring-loaded pliers, and wire cutters, and even has some nice functions like a box cutter, scissors, and even tweezers.
Shoppers have found countless ways to use their Gerber Dimes, but many say they're a godsend for camping. “I go hiking and camping a lot, and this little gadget is my favorite multi-tool that I bring with me,” one shopper said. “I have a few. But I always take this little guy with me because of its light weight and small size. But don't let its size fool you. It has plenty of useful features, and every feature is cleverly designed and well-made.”
