Gerber was without a doubt the most popular multi-tool brand while I was in the military. Chances were if I saw a Gerber, it was probably one of their Multi-Plier 600 models. I’m sure one reason was that the shelves of every AAFES store on the installation were littered with Gerber products, but they also […]

The KLAUX sets itself apart from other armor carrier systems currently available by using a patent-pending quick attach buckle. This distinct emergency-release system is built directly into the front attachment points of the vest. This allows […]
