Leatherman: Offers a 25-year warranty on their products. Most people are pleased with the Gerber warranty services, though, and get their replacement or fixed tool back within about 2 weeks. You’ll have to ship the tool along with proof of purchase to their shop in Oregon.īecause it is a limited warranty, they won’t replace or fix damaged tools due to misuse or abuse. Outside of the USA, the warranty is for 25 years. Gerber: Within the USA, Gerber offers a limited lifetime warranty. Thus, many newer Leatherman tools will not state “Made in the USA” on them. Today, all Leatherman tools are assembled in the USA – but not all parts are necessarily made in the USA.Īpproximately 5 out of an average of 30 parts per tool are imported, then assembled in Oregon.
Leatherman: The older Leatherman products were all made in the USA.
However, a lot of their cheaper models are made in China. Gerber: Many Gerber products are still made in Oregon.

Gerber Comparisonsīoth Leatherman and Gerber make a lot of different multi-tools. The bottom line? Don’t blame the manufacturer for breakage caused by improper use. You also need to take care of the tools, so they don’t get rusty. Multi-tools must be used responsibly! Even the toughest multi-tool can’t be used as a crowbar! Most of the complaints people have against Leatherman or Gerber is that “the tool broke doing X, Y, or Z.” The no-questions-asked warranty is another reason to choose Leatherman. However, in general, I prefer Leatherman multi-tools.Ĭompared to Gerber, Leatherman excels in design and craftsmanship. In some cases, Gerber models are better than comparable Leatherman models. In this Leatherman versus Gerber showdown, I want to go beyond the brand name loyalty and get into the nitty-gritty details of which makes one better than the other.
