Anyone had a chance to try one? I like how compact it is, but can't seem to determine if it is more gimmicky or a good addition to "the bag".

nope, saw one earlier though on the web, seems like it might be handy.
I really like gerber products. I would say it fills an extreme niche. It's designed to store in the grip. I'd rather have real tools and keep the weight off my gun
I do think having a compact castle nut wrench could be really handy on its own. The cleaning/scraping aspects are also nice and a CAT tool can cost $35 on its own. I could see myself adding one of these to my range bag.
If one showed up in my stocking on Christmas morning, I wouldn't re-gift it.
Dedicated tools are generally better but I can't see it hurt to have this around.
They are out of stock right now but you can get it $12 cheaper on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Short-S...lti-Tool+Black
I played with one off and on for a month now. Like blacklabel said, dedicated tools are better, but this thing can do in a pinch in the middle of nowhere and it fits into a Magpul AR handle. I wish I had one during my last Iraq tour.
