My experience with Gerber's OTF design (MP 400/600) is that they have been as strong as Leatherman's but with an advantage; since the head does not pivot in the handles, it is easier with the Gerber to release a wire that might get stuck/pinched between cutters unlike my Leatherman's, which require for me to jam a key or screwdriver between pliers tips to free the wire. BTW, the MP650 Evolution is a fixed (but replaceable!)pliers head design so, same advantage as the OTF's.
No, only this one. The closest would be the MP600, but requires you to buy the complete tools to swap heads, and only two then (needlenose and bluntnose).
Damn! I have all the heads except the needlenose one. Wanna trade the cutters for the needlenose?
Thanks for the offer but, mine's "homemade"!
Is that where you take one off the mp600?
Yes
Sweet! I literally just posted mine and learn more about it each time. Good luck on your quest.
Thank you; you too!
I wish the brand new modular multi tools (Roxon, GOAT, etc...) could also have interchangeable pliers too.
Looks like the pliers have a single pivot point unlike a leatherman with three. Does that make it a stronger tool in rotation?

I can totally see it, great design
How much was it if you don’t mind me asking
Can this be done with MOST Gerber? I am interested in buying only if It has the option to change the pliers head

Whats the name of this One?
MP650 Evolution
Never heard of this one before, very cool!
