Overview
A 15-in-1 multitool built around needle nose pliers and a wire stripper, adding flathead and cross drivers, scissors, an awl, a file, a partially serrated 2.25-inch blade, and a pocket clip in a 4.25-inch closed frame that weighs 6.7 ounces.
This is the NXT update to Gerber's original Suspension, thinner and lighter while adding a wire stripper, medium flathead driver, awl, and file over the earlier model. Reviewers who have carried it for years describe it holding up to repeated hard use, though a few compare it unfavorably to the original 12-tool Suspension it replaced.

What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Long-term owners say the pliers and working scissors hold up well to years of regular use, from crimping wire connectors to general repair tasks, and several call it solid value next to pricier Leatherman tools. The main pushback is that its pliers are not meant for hard torque the way a heavier multitool is, and a couple of longtime users say they prefer the older 12-tool Suspension to this NXT version.
