Crucial FAST Red

I have 5 Gerber knives that are indispensable. However, the little piece of plastic that releases the blade on this tool comes off and makes the tool useless. This is a toy not a tool and should not be relied on for real work.

amazing tool the fast tecnoligy is awesome . this is my new EDC

Love this tool, very effective EDC tool, the screw drivers have a nice long shank, the blade is a very impressive steel holding a really nice edge. The pliers are sufficiently strong for a small category multitool with very precise nose ends that meet nicely for small jobs and last but most definitely a top pro is the very fun single handed spring assisted blade the will find you deploying for the fun of it.

I've been carrying my Crucial Fast for about two months now and I'm very satisfied with it. It has all the tools I need and none of the superfluous bells and whistles endemic to most multitools. A special note to the cross-head driver; I love that it's full size and not one of those shoddy flattened deals. Each of the tools is pretty high quality especially considering the value of this tool. The assisted opening blade is just icing on the cake and I'm particularly glad they chose a utility style drop point. I've had no issues with the safety switch though I wish the blade lock up was a little tighter since there is quite a bit of wiggle in the locked position.

I agree with Can and Tom, my safety lock on the blade broke too. I love the tool and I use it every day. It did last a while but now its useless and Im dissapointed.

Unfortunately I will write some unpleasant review. I had the same experience with Tom.
I loved the knife, the moment I saw at the internet and ordered from Ebay. But my F.A.S.T mechanism button broke the second day too. This is making the tool is totally useless. Such a shame for Gerber and their quality control department.

Great multi tool i have had no problems with any of the components and i for one think the safty for the assisted opening is great it preventd unwanted opeing i highly recomend this multi tool if you want a small sturdy tool with onlu the basics

F.A.S.T. mechanism button broke second day I had it. The two drivers are much better then the original Crucial but the F.A.S.T. button/lock just ruins it.

I have carried many different multi tools. I don't leave the house without one. I mainly reach for the pliers first with the knife coming in a close second. I only use the other tools occasionally. The tool gets a B- for three reasons. I am a huge fan of blade assist technology, but when I get ready to deploy a blade, I don't want to have to unlock it first. This tool has such a lock. Blade locks should only keep the blade open. The knife and pliers are already starting to develop a fair amount of side play, and the belt clip tore off exiting the truck. The tiny star screws holding it on have too small of threads in too little metal to apply sufficient hold. Overall it gets the job done. It's not as well built as my Sog, but it didn't cost as much either.

Stupidest arrangement of tools EVER! IF they made this with the option for a non-serrated blade, screw drivers, saw and maybe a scissor, this would be a fantastic tool. However, you get two crummy and awkward screw drivers mixes with a knife that has a great feel. I love the carabiner idea, but it's honestly not needed. I just don't understand why nobody makes a knife that has the essentials. All I want in a knife is a pocket clip, saw, serrated AND non-serrated option, screw drivers, can opener, ONE HANDED OPENING KNIFE and maybe a scissor. Pliars, honestly, has anybody ever found the pliers on a pocket knife to be better than an actual pair of pliers? Me neither, so just leave the pliers for the upper class multi-tools, Not every pocket knife needs pliers .

F.A.S.T push button snapped off. Useless now.

Love the simplicity and the functionality of this tool. This is my EDC as a biomed tech. So far, no complaints. Considering a second tool for a back up.

i love the tool it is a great knive the pocket clip has alreay been streched out so i cant really cary it at work anymore. the blade is awesome and the tool that lock are very usefull. but without the clip i cant cary ut so it doesnt really matter

Its a great compact multi-tool I use it a lot at my house and around town!! I love the F.A.S.T blade opening!!! Ilove every tool on it as well!! I have no problems yet and hope to have no problem with the safety breaking off..I love my crucial F.A.S.T

hey Gerber i got this knife worked fine till today i was opening it and the safety broke off and i dropped the very SMALL ball that goes in it and i don't now what else to say IT BROKE i payed 70 $ i would expect something better
