- Here is a long video about a major flaw in the Gerber Prybrid. So to be fair to my viewers and to @GerberGear I bought a second one, to see if the new one has the same issue. The Prybrid is everyday carry (edc) super popular tool. You are not a fixer/doer without a Prybrid, or so I'm told.

I've never had any issues changing the blade myself,but i appreciate your extremely informative video.
Thank you.
I've had mine since they first came out years ago. One of the original before they finally added a clip. Have never had any problems changing the blade. I use mine several times a week. So hope you figure it out. Good luck.
Same here. I never have had an issue changing blades
On Amazon the top description for each color choice will say clip. Each color has distinct clip labeling and in the photos of each color way are correct.
They do now, back when I did this video, there was no description saying otherwise.
I have the early grey model and I found that if I lock the blade into the blade change position I can't move the little lock tab far enough to get the blade out. However, instead of locking the blade into the blade change position, if I keep the main button depressed and keep pushing the blade out of the handle, mine will go about 1/8" past the lock position and that exposes a bit more of the bendable lock tab which gives just enough extra leverage when I push it to remove the blade. I use my thumbnail to do it, but it looks like you trim yours way too short for that. It's still not easy, but it's doable.
I will try that, thank you.
I’ve had mine since it came out and I’ve never had an issue removing the blade.
Then you got lucky.
Mine was very difficult to swap but needle nose pliers helped a lot!
pull the vey top of the release back with ur finger nail instead of pushing the entire release from the side
Have one ... Slightly tricky first couple of times but no major flaw on mine. Or anyone else's from whst ive seen. But you got your views i guess.
Its not about views, the blade issue is a common problem. There are several commenter's here who have had the same issue. Unlike most people saying only good things, I only do honest reviews, if there is an issue, I state it. To make it fair, I will usually buy a second one, to test against. Sometimes the second one works, sometimes it doesn't. Either way you get to see it, as it happens.
Helpful video. Thanks for sharing.
Noticed the blue has a different G10 pattern.
AMZ shows the blue color with a clip now.
The blue is glass reinforced plastic, not g10.
I did not have an issue replacing the blade. Just push hard enough, and it comes out. Put a Lennox Gold blade in mine
Good choice in blade. Even with pliers I could not get the blade to release.
@Survival-gyver The portion that holds the blade has a tab with a dimple, which retains the blade. You just press it down and pull the blade out. I pressed it with my thumbnail
I thought this multitool was thoe answer to my prayers! I do property maintenance plus i work at a grocery store so a multitool with a utility blade seemed like ot would fit all my needs but then i read the blade only has one locking position and this confirms that that the actual lock/release mechanism is poorly designed, for my uses at least. Thanks
I thought similar, but yes, it needs alot of work.
I prefer it without the belt clip
Yeah, mine was hard as hell to change, but it’s doable. I have the gray one.
I had the a one 3 Yrs ago no problem with the blade change. I now have the blue one with clip and its very difficult to change the blade
thank you it worked
The eighth tool is the pry tool. Aslothe little nubbin is super hard to move out the way wthout a little bit of fingernail. The real flaw is the locking mechanism stops locking after a few months
From what gerber said online the newer one is still g10
Gerber's own website for the model with the pocket clip is glass reinforced nylon. So if it's G10, they need to fix their website.
Just got mine today. It’s the new version with the clip.
I’ve been trying to get the blade out for some time now.
No luck so far .
I am thinking of trying to use a screwdriver or some pliers.
Any suggestions ?
Return it and get something else, or another one.
My G10 has the same problem cant remove blade,Belt clips are an extra cost on Amazon
Yes, the ones with belt clips are more expensive, with a crappier handle material. Reminds me of shrinkflation
23 minutes for what could have been told in 3-4 minutes. Took me 7 minutes to find the "major flaw".
3 or 4 min would pull the video off search bar. Video needs to be a minimum of 8 mins. Every one of my videos are reviews, and going over the details of the product, and where possible, a comparison to a brand new product. Sorry to disappoint you.
Bro thank you for making this video. I saw so many reviews so bought this a couple of months ago. Instant regret when it was a chore to change blades. I returned it instantly and just switched to milwakee fastback. I know gerber have quality control issues but i would have expected better. Honesly its put me off gerber products for life.
I was so disappointed in the prybrid. I have done alot of reviews on Gerber products, and it's a crap shoot in quality. It's really sad.
Isn’t g10 and glass filled nylon the same?
Good question. G10 is a high strength fiberglass laminate, while glass filled nylon is a type of plastic. G10 has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than glass-filled Nylon, which means that you don’t need as much material to achieve the same strength. Therefore, it is much lighter compared to glass filled nylon, while also being lower in cost than glass filled nylon.
@@Survival-gyverappreciate the knowledge and quick response!
@@Survival-gyverI just got the prybrid from Amazon with clip for $16 and was wondering why it was cheaper. My guess now is that it isn’t G10
@@Survival-gyveralso, can’t figure out how to remove the utility knife yet
@@staywoke2198 Your welcome, and thanks for watching.
you need to press harder dude.. for real, like the "dot" you press on needs to fall behind the blade to be able to pull it out...
Even with a pry bar pushing on it, it doesn't release. Its a common failure of this tool.
Easily removed, no issue at all.
You got lucky. There are thousands of complains of the blade release not working.
