Think they should make a HSS insert! The current ones are horrible and crack and shatter first use.

These cuters are junk time for a plan B gerber,$20 for a new part thats all most 1/4 of what the tool cost.

First time I used them to try to cut a piece of wire, one of the inserts shattered. I am very disappointed. I think Gerber should give me a couple of dozen inserts and maybe I can get through the rest of my fencing repairs.

Had a tool issued in the military, I also recently tried to cut some high tensile fence wire, cracked the insert. Now I know the limits.

Loved the IDEA of these, as I have worn the (non replaceable) cutters out on my other pair after years of use.
The idea is all I love. These SUCK!. Break way to easy cutting stuff I cut every day with my old pair.
Can't believe they would issue these to our soldiers where their life may depend on them.
I have been loyal to Gerber for years, not so sure after this.

Used the cutters for first time to cut fencing wire and shattered both cutters ,I've had an older pair which didn't have carbide cutters and they were bulletproof,not all that impressed

Just about to send them in or call to get a new screw and bit. Looks like I am screwed because I am not paying $20 for a little bit that apparently everyone else has broke or lost. Gerber I have a bunch of your tools and I love them but if the kit calls for 4 replaceable screws something is wrong.

Had a pair for many years without the carbide cutters. Had these for a matter of weeks and one cutter has shattered. Not very impressed. Think I'll change brands when I next replace them.

Really!!! This is the crap that we have issued to us you can't even cut air with these and now you want us to pay to fix this junk. No wonder we are losing jobs overseas we can't even make a multi tool that can cut wire.

I was Issued one of these and the cutters broke the first time I used it. I have 5 of there tools in all. The last 3 I purchased myself at the exchange. The cutters are broke on all of them. Not a very reliable tool. And expensive to replace parts. I'm not going to pay $20.00 for this. What a ripoff.

I've gone through 2 sets of these! They seem to just shatter if you try to cut anything tougher than a paperclip!!! WTF? Why aren't these things made of hardened steel or titanium or something that'll hold up better?

These replacement wire cutters should be covered by warranty not $20 I was cutting high tensile wire and they both shattered I never had that problem with the nonreplaceable ones. just saying!
