I bought a Gerber Clutch last week...It seems to meet my needs pretty well. I was looking for something tiny (which it is), with the right set of tools, which it (mostly) has. I'm not sure how durable it will end up being...there's already a little more of a 'wobble' between the two halves than I'd like, though it's put together with torx screws, so I think I can tighten it.
The feel of it for opening the pliers and tools is very 'tight' - very snappy spring-loaded action going on. The blade is decently sharp. The pliers are pretty good for their size, and include a wire stripper at the base. The other tools are:
o A nail file. Uh, ok, I guess.
o tweasers. Haven't had to use them yet. They seem to twease.
o Small flat screwdriver. Fine.
o Larger flat screwdriver + bottle opener. The bottle opener..works, sort of. So small that it takes a few tries to fully open a beer bottle.
o 'Phillips' screwdriver - not really, since it's just as flat as the flat screwdrivers, it just tapers at the end a bit. Seems to work for a fairly small range of screws.
So I'm not blown away, but hey, it was $17 and fits on my keychain. As long as it doesn't break right away, I'll be satisfied.
