Gerber CENTER-DRIVE dominates Leatherman OHT in the Extreme Cutting Test of a multi-strand cable !

- Previously, I tested all Leatherman multi-tools with replaceable wire cutters (Signal / Super Tool 300 / Surge / Rebar / Wave⊕ / Charge⊕/ Charge⊕ TTI) and all failed.
What should be deduced ? Because the Gerber Legend (MP 800), with the same carbide replaceable wire cutters as the Center-Drive, also failed this test.
Sometimes doing is better than talking. Outstanding ❗❗❗
I wreaklessly have spent so much on multitools. Most by leatherman. I basicly own the entire lineup. And the gerber center drive by far is my go to eventhough im a leatherman fan boy. even bought a backup beacuse id be lost without it
That Centerdrive is the best tool Gerber has put out!
This is clearly rigged. First, you can see that the OHT's cutters have been severely dulled. Second, everyone knows the cutters on the Center-Drive are trash. They cracked cutting thin wires on my motorcycle. I prefer Gerber tools over Leatherman but when it comes to the wire cutters, Leatherman beats Gerber every time. If Gerber would give us 154CM wire cutters, they would be perfect. Victorinox beats both though
People complain about wire cutters on just about every multi tool. They are all built to cut small copper wire, not 1/4"+ steel cables.
It has a deeper bite that is all.
Shame it is so brittle, gerber really needs ro consider changing their wire cutters materials
Also, its a poor design. They're trying to make cutters than can be rotated to extend use, but that doesn't allow for enough material to support the stress
Leatherman with rear stranded wire cutter work very well.
I see gerber center drive carbide wire cutter crusching incredibile with a simple nail!!
have you noticed this too?
Carbide inserts are fragile ...
why did you use the "heavy cutting" part on the CD but the "fine cutting" part on the Leatherman? Use the same for both, othervise its not a fair comparison
For the simple reason that the "heavy cutting" part does not completely resemble: with closed pliers, there is a hole of Ø 1 mm. But rest assured, the Center-Drive's carbide cable cutter proves to be brittle with hard wires or nails.
Thanks for the answer. I have a wave and a CD and I feel the CD is a piece of crap... :P
I see the following problems with Center-Drive:
- the inserts cutter are brittle (they are positioned cantilevered in their housing),
- these inserts are more expensive than those of the Leatherman,
- the file does not have three useful faces,
- no saw (but the OHT does not have a file).
I dont like that the serrated blade is so dull, and that the construction of it makes the head rattle and not feel as sturdy as the wave. I like the driver and the little crowbar-thingy, but over all, I feel that it is very expensive for the poor quality. Its not bad for a tool costing say 40-50 bucks, but around a 100? nah.. :P
As I mentioned, the Center-Drive must be compared to the OHT because it is a response from Gerber to Leatherman after the patent on the sliding pliers fell into the public domain.
OHT : 90 $.
Center-Drive with bit kit : 115 $.
Fantástico video, muy buena demostración, estaría bien que hiciera una prueba de una Victorinox multitool, y la misma Gerber y Leatherman que aparecen el vídeo. Las 3 en la misma prueba Cortando ese mismo cable de 2 mm. Para ver cuál es la de mejor corte y rendimiento. Saludos.

Sí, un video con varias herramientas múltiples para la prueba de corte es una buena idea; Gracias ! :)
Funny how you were obviously favoring gerber. Did you really think no one is going to notice that you were using the heavy wire cutters on the Gerber but using the fine cutters on the Leatherman?
Ne paniquez pas.
I try to cut a big stranded wire with surge (with specific rear wire cutter)and work well...
Replaceble wire cutter on leatherman, are not designed for stranded wire.because the wires of the cable open and tend to open the pliers.
I believe you need the rear surge cutter, which prevents the stranded cable from opening.
Si vous avez supprimé l'outil de maintien des bits qui occupait tous les outils inutiles et les petites boîtes à outils et ajouté les ciseaux de scie, alors le lecteur senter pourrait être le meilleur best-seller de multitool!
Oh yes I see'd the proof, just can't get use too seeing that mini Allen head bolt,that holds the replaceable blades, protruding in the backside of cutters.
I still wouldn't buy the Gerber over the oht
are you out in the jungle or something?
I know this video was posted a while ago but would you recomend the oht for edc? Iv tried ths gerber center drive and for the money i paid for it, it did not seem as premium as the competion. I carry a spirit at the moment and am just looking to switch it up with a product from leatherman. Thanks. 🤙
L'OHT est très bien mais vous pourriez essayer le Free P4.
Gerbe centerdrive IS PREMIUN.
I really didn't think it would be good, but when it comes, have noticed that was more strong than leatherman and victorinox. And very well constructed.
But Have a only big fail:CARBIDE WIRE CUTTER.
The serrated blade seems to be terrible(not very sharp) but is designed for extremely rough tasks!
All the rest is very good!
Center bit driver one handed
Super long knife
Extremely robust and spring loaded pliers.
Quality construction.
It's very difficult to broke a centerdrive compared with leatherman that is more delicate.
@@fc436 i broke the center drive after a week of carrying it. Im an industrial maintenance tech so my edc must be robust. And the center drive just didnt cut it for me. I enjoyed the bit driver but the plier head broke and so did the carbide cutters. Also the blade steel did not seem like the best. Iv carried and abused my victorinox for 3 years now and it has handled everything very well.
@@gtlogic2362 victorinox also is very strong.
But the center drive seems to me, stronger than my surge or charge.
Especially the theets of the pliers, that in my victorinox spirit and leatherman bend on the sides, in centerdrive are surprisingly not bendet at the time.
It seems like the steels of chassis and pliers is heat treated differently from leatherman. And is the same 420hc.
Maybe is more frigile i don't now.. But sure is harder.
The principle blade have a wide sharp angle and I put a angle like leatherman and is razor sharp.
But I don't know if edge retention is better on gerber or leatherman...maybe Leatherman treatment is better but I don't have noted.
The serrated blade is terrible, or seems terrible, but probably on purpose, for hard duty cuts. It's more like a saw.
I think is a great tools. And when I bought it, only out of curiosity and collection , I was expecting a low quality.
But when it arrived, I was very surprised by the quality construction. Except the terrible terrible idea of pure carbide wire cutters!
@@gtlogic2362 that guy obviously doesn't do heavy duty tasks for a living.
Title should be Magnusson dominate in wire cutting 😁 ( aka dedicated wire cutter )
Edit: BTW I use mine multi tools only as toys, or to be more correct, I don't use them, only collect. For real job I use always real tools. I like Victorinox more than Leatherman or Gerber. But most used tool's in all mine multi tools are knife and beer opener's. I would newer use cutters on mine 125years edition spirit, original PST or classic Victorinox multitool. Maybe only cutters on Rebar...
P.s. how many multi tool's u have diezelle? What is your favorite? Or mostly used?
Just like you, I do not use my multi-tools, I collect them! :)
My favorite ? Leatherman Charge Plus TTI but everything depends on the context of use.

diezelle57 aaauuuuu... Thats allot of money in allot of nice tolls. I have mostly on me some Victorinox SAK with scissors, like climber. Rest i hide so children dont ruin 😀
Agreed. I use actual electrical tools on the job. However we always have that one guy that is determined to use on the job. Theses multi tools are when you dont always have tools with you. Maybe fishing. Sport shooting, hunting, cycling, a day at the park and the bike wheel came off. These tools are not tools for the job. In a pinch. They are there for you.
@@unknowmysteries5925 I don't entirely agree. There are jobs where a TM is very useful. To. Example I worked in a moving company in Italy, and often the heavy toolbox was on one floor of the building and we went to various places or floors without carrying it around. And if I had a MT you saved yourself a lot of stairs and effort.
Clearly if the foreman saw me disassemble a 2mx4m wardrobe with the leatherman instead of the Makita electric screwdriver, he would have fired me.
Obviously a professional cannot do without dedicated tools, but a MT can only help in a lot of situations. Also on the job.
Bonjour j'aimerais acheter le gerber center drive mais d'après de nombreuse remarque le coupé fil cassé vraiment facilement donc j'aimerais savoir si c'est toujours le cas et jusqu'ou on peut allez ( exemple petit fil de fer , fil barbelé , clou ) je vous remercie d'avance
Oui, c'est le problème des inserts en carbure de tungstène adoptés par Gerber, ils peuvent casser et il faut alors les remplacer. Leatherman a préféré utiliser un acier dur (154CM) qui peut se mater mais pas se casser. J'ai cassé des inserts Gerber en coupant un clou et, vu le prix de ceux-ci, je n'ai pas fait d'autres tests. Pour du fil barbelé, il ne devrait pas y avoir de casse mais pour de la corde à piano ... Le Center-Drive est un bon multi-tool mais il faut tenir compte de la faiblesse du coupe-câble. Le Leatherman Surge serait une solution plus judicieuse. Dans tous les cas, il ne faut pas abuser et prendre un multi-tool pour une pince Knipex ! :) czcams.com/video/NUTsQYtl4Gc/video.html
Mon expérience : czcams.com/video/JgNw8k9eDzc/video.html
@@diezelle57 d'accord je prend note merci beaucoup ducoup auriez-vous une autre alternative pour un multi tool avec une ouverture a une main
@@lapetitechocolatine6705 Le Leatherman OHT : czcams.com/video/vsT_aSqYzf0/video.html ou les Leatherman FREE P2 & P4 qui peuvent s'ouvrir par impulsion. Mais sur ces modèles, il n'y a pas de bit driver.
@@diezelle57 d'accord merci beaucoup juste une dernière question tout les coupe fil de gerber sont les mêmes ?
@@lapetitechocolatine6705 Oui sauf pour le modèle Strata (plaquettes introuvables). Idem pour Leatherman sauf pour les modèles EOD.
Было бы не плохо узнавать Вашу оценку тулов по 10 бальной шкале. Ну или со смайлами очень хорошо было

@@diezelle57 Кстати, видео снято таланливо и умно!!! Это факт. Но, честь надо беречь.
Bonsoir Diezelle !!donc le gerber est mieux ajusté et plus rigide il y a moins d’écart du croisement des plaquettes de carbure au moment de la coupe !résultat: non adapté pour le câble multi-brins acier!! la pince qui est utilisée en dernier est mieux adaptée puisqu'elle coupe en joignant parfaitement les deux tranchants!!! conclusion intéressante de ce test, les muti-outils me semble plus appropriés a la coupe de métal doux et rigide!! mais j;apprend que Cyril HANOUNA vient d’être honoré !!je m'en vais de ce pas le féliciter!!!!
Bonne analyse, cher Tony :)
J'ajoute, en effet, que le Gerber Suspension, qui possède un coupe-câble (non remplaçable) à mors alignés, réussi assez bien le test de coupe d'un câble toronné même s'il faut beaucoup forcer en raison de la faible longueur des manches.
Oui, allons le féliciter, l'Hanouna à son Bolloré ! :)
Amazon no good for filming videos
Whats up with all the jungle noises lol
unfair comparison, you used the wrong part of the cutting surface on the Leatherman! Or you where paid by Gerber to deliberately fuck it up!
thats not extreme cutting
it is for that kind of tools, the OHT failed.
Obviously, That's why the U.S. military uses Gerber MP600's and so do I. Leathermans look nice, and that's about it. I used my Super Tool 300 to replace brakes on a mountain bike and I almost broke the handle off the ST300, so I put the bit adapter on my MP600 and I was able to complete the job. I was disappointed that a tool labeled as "Heavy-Duty" could not take a Hex screw off, but my MP600 did. The MP600 is the Real super tool if you ask me!! so now I leave my Leatherman at home and only carry my MP600, the REAL SUPER TOOL!!!! All others are gimmicks!!
Not so simple because the GERBER carbide inserts are very brittle and they do not resist nails or hard wires. Big problem of housing design inserts, many times reported!
You do not know anything about it or you get paid by GERBER to advertise it on CZcams.
The American army does not have enough money to equip itself in LEATHERMAN or VICTORINOX so it does in GERBER or SOG.
The French army has just adopted the Charge⊕ of LEATHERMAN.
That's what I said!!! Read my comment again because you obviously read it and took it the wrong way!!! I'm just a guy that has been using the MP600 for the past 4 years and know that it's a good tool. Just because someone likes a tool doesn't mean they are getting paid by the manufacturer!! I know from experience that MP600 is better than the Super Tool 300. I have both and many other Leathermans as well!!
I fully understood your message and I answered it clearly.
You said "obviously", so about the result of my test in the video, and I told you clearly that it was not so simple!
As for your history of hexagonal screw (bolt with hexagonal head) with a broken handle ST300, this is outright fabulation or a model obviously having a large manufacturing defect.
I am the world specialist multi-tool, do not come and tell me anything.
I did not say it broke, I said I almost broke it. I was turning it to get the Hex screw off and the handle was bending because it could not take the full stress like you would using the plier portion of the tool, but the MP600 did because the handle is smaller. If you were the worlds specialist of multitools you would clearly know what I was talking about, But you are not and making such a claim is rediculous and arrogant. I took back my thumbs up, and unsubscribed but you already know that because you are the specialist, right??
In addition to being confused, you are insolent! :)
I give no credit to your explanations defying the reassuring laws of physics.
The MP600 is a second-rate multi-tool and GERBER continues to multiply design problems, model after model.
Fortunately, perfection is in this world with LEATHERMAN! :)
