GerberGear Prybrid Utility Knife with Pry Bar, EDC Multi-Tool Pocket Razor Knife with Retractable Blade, Green

I received this product just a few days ago from writing this post. So far I am impressed with the quality of it, it is a solid feeling tool. In the few days I have owned it, I have used the blade, the cord cutter slot, the nail puller, and the bottle opener. The blade opens and works as it should. I like the fact that you must push down on the slide button before the blade will slide open. This keeps it from opening when I pull my phone out of my pocket. The cord cutter works as advertised. The nail puller works well in a pinch. I was pulling one nail with this tool, while my dad tried to pull another nail out with is SOG pliers. His pliers broke and I was able to pull out both nails without a problem once I figured out the method. Bottle opener works well also.As far as the "flat head screw drivers" I have not yet found these to be too useful. For reference; they will not fit in flat head screws for wall outlet covers and light switches, but it is capable of turning the screw in my lansky knife sharpener. If they were just slightly filed down it would be a bit more practical as a flaflat head, but I am happy with the strength of the pry bar so far.The tool longs for a pocket clip. With the size of this knife, I am currently running it as my primary blade, in place of my Spyderco Endura 4. The size of the tool closed is about the same size as an average EDC pocket knife. Its too long to sit flush in a change pocket. I have seen people add a pocket clip through use of the lanyard hole, but I opted to use an adhesive pocket clip, and I carry it tip up so the pry bar is not exposed. The clip I chose was the Boring Products pocket clip. I have also seen folks use the Nite Ize clips. I'm happy with my choice so far.The blade is slightly difficult to take out which I am fine with as it will hopefully limit accidents. It is still doable to remove without use of tools. I plan to continue using this as my primary EDC blade for a while. If I run into any major issues I will try and update this review.UPDATE:I've been using this tool now for over a month, carrying it every day as my primary knife. Since EDC-ing this tool, I have not missed carrying a normal folding knife. This tool is much more useful and has proven itself to me. I have not been easy on it. I have used every feature on the tool except for the wire strippers, and I do not have a lanyard attached to it. I stand by my previous statement about the "flat head" screwdriver function. It is not a practical flat head IMO as there are few screws that have a wide enough slot to utilize it.Some things I have used the tool for:Finish nailsSheetrock nailsBending fence wireOpening stubborn chainsaw gas capsPrying open paint cansOpening bottlesVarious cutting tasks from sheet rock, to clearing small brushThe nail puller is more impressive than I imagined it would be. I was on a demo job and there were not enough prybars for everybody on the crew. I pulled this out of my pocket and pulled probably over 50 Sheetrock nails from the studs, working just about as fast as the guys with the crowbars. Just a couple of "bops" and the nail was out. After that job though, I did notice the slide was much more difficult to open. Some WD40 and a few minutes of playing with it and it was mostly back to normal.One con to note is I have found that the metal slot that holds the blade in place will dull that part of the blade, so you can't have two uses out of one blade like with a typical utility knife. This is not a deal breaker, just something to note before purchasing.If I were Gerber, a couple things I would try to change:Add a pocket clip (I would have rated 5 stars if it had a clip)Make the lanyard hole slightly larger so it could also function as an oxygen bottle wrench.UPDATE MAY, 2024:Unfortunately, after continuous hard use of this tool, I lost it in the yard while mowing. I was not easy on this tool intentionally. It wouldn't break. Since I lost it and it has become an essential tool for me, I came back on amazon to buy another just like it. To my surprise, I was very pleased to see Gerber had listened to us and added a pocket clip on the new, blue tool. I purchased it right away. I have not had a chance to break it in yet but I am a fan of the clip and the new scales as well. I am even able to utilize the clip as an O2 wrench for work. I have changed my rating from 4 to 5 stars. So much functionality! Thank you for listening to us, Gerber!

I bought this thinking eh I'll give it a shot, but honestly I love it. The feel of it is great, the blade comes out smoothly and if I need to pry anything like I normally do with a pocket knife then hey that's what the pry bar part is for right? My only gripe about it is that there's no clip for the corner of my pocket but you know that little pocket at the top of your right Jean pocket? Yeah it fits perfect in there, throw a little bit of parracord on the end with the pry bar and you can pull it out of that pocket easy.

Great knife, I love the knife, I still carry it around as my primary pocket knife. My only concern is that when you change the blade it's a pretty delicate operation. Taking out the old blade seems to be okay, but putting a new one in, you're pressing pretty close to the blade surface. Sheet metal parts make the operation kind of delicate, and the blade snags as it's going in occasionally. Just be careful and patient the first time you change the blade.

I didn't want to dull my actual pocket knife at work and also needed a pry bar. I keep it in my pocket with the Nite Ize Hip Clip. The only problem I found out the hard way was not to put your hand where the blade exits while prying something the blade tends to get pushed out and into your hand. Other than that it's wonderful

Love this knife! I use a knife everyday for work. It’s cheap and it works well. Never have to worry about sharpening my Benchmade after a days work because I throw the blade and replace it with this.At first, I did not like the pry bar. I thought about grinding it down but I gave it a run and found it to be extremely useful on day to day operations. The bottle opener doesn’t work well. But a firm grip around the top of a bottle coupled with the pry bar pops the top with no worries. If you lose it, your only out $20, unless you add a clip; which I recommend.This is such a great carry compared to other box cutter. I bought my entire staff one each.Only thing I would like to see from Gerber is that they manufacture it with a clip so that you do not have to use an adhesive clip. I’ve replace the clip a few times but that was expect.

A cool spin on a razor knife with some bonus EDC tools. I only wish I took the time to purchase the model that has the pocket clip. It’s only a few dollars more. I just didn’t pay close enough attention before ordering no complaints at all with the tool itself.

If it fits well in your pocket, but the blade keeps coming out when you try to cut things, it’s a good price.

Great for utility worker very convenient and easy to use also fits great in the pocket.
