A bit better than the original Suspension.
Amazon Customer•July 29, 2018
A good upgrade from the old Suspension. It has some quirks, but most Gerbers do.
Great Features. Average Build Quality. Excellent Price.

Pros:
-More tools than Suspension but half oz lighter (honestly why is this not named Suspension Nxt?)
-Small enough to carry closed, large enough to feel full in hand when open
-Steel seems sturdy enough
-All tools lock
-All tools accessible from closed position
-Pliers are spring loaded
-Wire cutters are better than leatherman's (non-replaceable) wire cutters
-Plain blade + Saw + Serrated blade = Trifecta
-All tools have smooth openings out of box
-Nice warranty
-Price! (Price of lowest tier Leatherman but with features of their $100+ multitools)
-BTW, KnifeHQ has the Truss for $9 cheaper than Amazon =)
Cons:
-Steel is probably only satin finished 420(budget stainless steel, but good enough)
-Feels like it'll last 5 years(but not much longer. Leathermans feel like I could pass them down to the next generation)
-Even in fully locked position, tools had some play
-Blades are on the smaller side
-Somewhat blocky design(had no problem with it, but I know some ppl won't like it)
Overview:
Excellent tool for less than $50. Build quality will last a couple years with moderate use. But for $46, you can use and abuse this thing all day and not feel guilty. Seriously. You can buy three of these, break one every three years over a 10 year period for the same price as one Leatherman Charge. I would pick my Leatherman Surge in a life or death situation, but I will be carrying the Gerber Truss on all my camping trips. It has all the necessary tools, good enough steel, light enough, and cheap enough that I can actually use this to its breaking point. Leatherman's can definitely take more punishment, but need to be oiled and cared for. Honestly, probably not gonna clean this Truss even once cuz I can always buy a new one relatively guilt free.
The Gerber Truss is the Honda Civic of the multitool world. Cheap, reliable, and easily maintained.
