Jaws
Plier jaws on the Suspension are spring loaded. They come together and contact each other properly out at the tips. There are fine serrations near the nose, a gripping area below that, and a wire cutter area near the pivot.Somewhat unusual is the fact that the wire cutters are anvil type, as opposed to the more common bypass type wire cutters on multitools.
Handles/Frame
The basket weave/skeletonized handles of the Suspension are its most obvious trait. Large open windows are left on each side panel, allowing the blades inside to be seen. The handles are cast from stainless steel, then given a protective coating of titanium nitride. Small "tool icons" - little pictures of each blade - are imprinted on the handle where that blade is located.Due to a surprising number of spacers between individual knife blades, handles on the Suspension are quite thick, a trait some users find undesirable.
Blades and Tools
All blades are outside opening, all blades lock open.- plain edge knife blade with thumb stud for one-hand access. Wharnecliffe profile, 2" long (51mm)
- medium flathead screwdriver
- flat phillips screwdriver
- saw blade, with a rather short 2" stroke
- serrated edge knife blade with thumb stud for one-hand access. Sheepsfoot profile, 2" long (51mm)

Locking Mechanism
All of the blades and tools lock open securely. Lock release is accomplished by knurled metal slider switches along the sides of both handles.Other Features
Tabbed washers (a Gerber standard) are located between each blade, preventing blade "clumping."Sheath
Molded/woven nylon construction, with velcro closure. Straps on the back allow for both vertical and horizontal carry.Dimensions

Related Tools
The Suspension appears to be somewhat related to the earlier Gerber 800 Legend and 700 Urban Legend, both of which were produced in the USA and came out some years prior.
In 2007 Gerber brought out four multitools which use most of the same blades, pliers, and framework components as the Suspension. The Crux, Method, Resolve, and Tread appear to be nothing more than Suspensions with a variety of different handle styles.
In 2008 the Evo? and Ripstop? were added to this list.
