Gerber Artifact - The Survivor Minitool

Gerber 22-41770 Artifact Pocket Keychain ToolThe Gerber Artifact is all about functionality as much as it is on handiness. It’s small but a lot of people find this little one very useful. Released by the leading manufacturer of multitools and minitools, Gerber in the year 2008, this is still one of the most sought after mini tools in the market.

The mini tool is packed with a Phillips and two flat head screwdrivers, a lanyard, a bottle opener a wire stripper, a pry bar and a knife. The knife of this famed mini tool uses standard #11 replacement or hobby blades. When you buy this mini tool from say for example, Amazon, the package this comes in comes with a razor sharp knife. That razor sharp knife is something most people find very useful in this one mini tool from Gerber.

The Gerber Artifact is named such for weighing only a couple quarters or so. Unlike all other mini multitools from Gerber, you may find this one difficult to attach to any keychain. It’s small but it’s not entirely keychain compatible. You’ll just have to carry it around with you in your pocket or your bag. Or perhaps you can use the lanyard to attach it anywhere you like, keychain or not.

The mini tool comes in only one color and one style. It may not be as fun and flirty as the Gerber Curve Mini Tool but it sure does do a lot more than the aforementioned mini multitool. Most guys owning one of these would say that this has been very useful in opening beer bottles. Of course, in just about any outdoor celebration where bottles of beers are opened, this would surely come in handy. But it’s not just the bottle opener users find helpful about this mini tool, the knife is just as flexible and versatile when it comes to use. You can easily use the sharp knife as a can opener. The tip of the knife can puncture any surface be it aluminum, paper, thin sheets of metal and the likes.

The Gerber Artifact, unlike the other Gerber mini multitools, is built primarily for survival. It’s small and its tools are easy to access and use. The knife is dangerously sharp enough to scare any attacker away. Its sharp enough to cut through any thread, too, rope included.
The mini multitool from Gerber, Artifact, costs less than 10 US dollars when bought from online stores like Amazon. They actually cost just about the same when sold at Gerber’s official site. Plus Amazon sends packages quickly so in just a week or 5 days, you’re sure to get this one in your mail after placing an order on one and paying for it.

Like other mini multitools, the Gerber Artifact would make a good gift to anyone who might want one. This is one small but tough mini multitool. Anyone who receives one would surely be happy. The Gerber Artifact is very useful, handy and strong enough to withstand any shock.
