Living just over a mile from one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s most hazardous faults, I’m always mindful of the possibility of a major earthquake. With small tremors occurring regularly, I know I probably won’t get much warning before the big one hits. That’s why I’ve been preparing, and one essential item in all our go bags is the Gerber Dime 12-in-1 Mini Multitool. It’s compact yet versatile, featuring pliers, scissors, screwdrivers, wire cutters, and a knife. You can certainly splurge on high-end multitools, but I prioritized both affordability and portability, making the Gerber Dime a perfect choice.

Normally priced around $30, this multitool is a great buy regardless of sales. However, just ahead of Amazon’s October Prime Day, the red version is available at a 14% discount. For a couple more dollars, you can also pick it up in green or black, ensuring both functionality and style.
