Gerber Artifact
Review
The Gerber Artifact is a solidly
built inexpensive keychain size multi-tool.
The Artifact Features:
a removable #11 hobby blade (x-acto style),
a philips screwdriver, Small and medium
flat screwdrivers, Wire stripper, Pry
bar / paint can opener, Lanyard or keychain
attachment hole. It is made in
china which so far is its biggest downside
from our initial tests during the last
few weeks. It is made of 'cast stainless
steel' according to the package, it is
stout and we have not been able to break
it or even bend it so far. The blade
is not something I use too much, but
it is easy to replace when dull or broken.
At just under $10 this handy tool is
a must have in our opinion

We bought this Gerber Artifact
at Target, but it was one of
the last two on the rack. We've
included a link below to buy
one online (which supports our
websites).

The Gerber Artifact comes in
a plastic 'clamshell' package
with an instruction card and
a few extra blades for the knife. Features
include: a removable
#11 hobby blade (x-acto style),
a philips screwdriver, Small
and medium flat screwdrivers,
Wire stripper, Pry
bar/paint can opener, Lanyard
or keychain attachment hole

The Gerber Artifact is designed
to fit on a key ring and is not
much longer than a car key

|
|
I've used mine a few times to
adjust the dials on optical scopes
and target sights at the shooting
range.
|
|
The point at the rear end of
the Gerber Artifact is a philips
screw driver, the two forks of
the pry bar are designed for
use as a slotted screwdriver
and it works well for light to
medium use

|
|
Of course there is also a bottle
opener which worked well for
us both right and left handed.
I've read reviews of the Gerber
Artifact being an in-effective
bottle opener, but we had no
trouble at all using it so far.
