The Gerber Multi-Plier series includes needlenose pliers, Fiskars® scissors, and a combination of screwdrivers, saws, files, and a multitude of other useful tools. They also offer screwdriver attachments and replacement wire cutters for their multitools.

Their styles range from the outdoor Nautilus design, which features an LED flashlight, two screwdrivers, short blade and scissors, to the Recoil Auto-Plier, which features push-button opening, Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, bottle and can openers, and Fiskars® scissors.
