There’s also a set of scissors that will handle small cutting jobs and if you need to saw something, the Diesel has that covered as well. The top half is a straight blade and the bottom half is serrated. If you need to cut something, the Diesel comes with a 2 and a half inch (6.3 cm) combo blade. Finally, it has a wire cutter with non-replaceable blades. Then further down the plier head it has a cut-out section to grip nuts and bolts. The pliers are the main attraction on the Diesel. The plier head comes to a point and can be thought of as a needle-nose plier that’s able to grab and hold things with the tip. It also comes with a lanyard loop that slides out if you want to use it. You can carry it vertically but not horizontally. Don’t wear a wide belt though, anything over 1 and a half inches wide and it won’t fit. Included in the package is a black nylon ballistic sheath, with a velcro strap to attach it to your belt. Gerber has given you a couple of choices when you want to carry the Diesel. Width is about 1.6 inches (4 cms) and thickness is 0.75 inches (1.9 cms). That’s about the same as a Leatherman Wave (8.5 ounces/ 241 grams) as a way of comparison.Ĭlosed, it’s 4.9 inches (12.2 cms) long, open it up and it’s 6.6 inches (16.5 cms). The Diesel weighs in at 8.6 ounces (240 grams) which is not particularly light but about right for a full-size multi-tool.
“Multi-Plier” refers to the one-hand deployable pliers that are a bit of a trademark design for Gerber. Before we get into what the Diesel Multi-Plier has to offer, let’s take a look at the numbers. The Gerber Diesel Multi-Plier model name gives you a strong clue about where Gerber think this multi-tool’s main feature is at.
