It had a habit of coming loose and finally fell out. Not sure if anyone else had the same problem.

I also have one Gerber Tool. It's the Trail-"Something". The only reason I like it is because it comes with a hoof pick as one of the flip-out tools. That has come in handy while outfitting in the Rockies.
The Charge has the one handed outside opening features as well.

I agree that a Marlinspike or a reamer, like the old SAKs had, would be a handy attachment to have. Maybe I should just find the biggest Leatherman snap in screwdriver blade they have and grind me one.
