Surprisingly, I've used it a LOT recently, and it has earned a place on my EDC. My first few interactions were when I needed something sharp. Although this doesn't have a knife or blade, the edge of the pry bar is flat and sharp, and I'm able to drag it along packages I need to open. The same is true for the philips head at the other side. It's just pointy enough that you can use it for simple puncturing and cutting. I don't know if this is all be design or chance, but it's enough for my purposes. I could certainly find a use for a blade (for example, cutting of paper), but if they put on on there, then I'm going to need a cover/sheath of some sort, and that adds weight and bulk. So I guess I'm okay with the way this works now.
The prybar has proved useful too, even as small as it is. I've used it a couple of times to pull out staples or tacks/nails, and it does well. What surprised me the most was the philips head. We were moving our kid into college and had brought along a toolbox and assembled everything in the dorm. Then on the last day, we bought a last-minute vacuum and took it to the room. I thought it would be pre-assembled, but found it had four screws that had to be installed. I could have gone back to the garage and got my tools, but thought I'd give the Shard a try. Surprisingly, the philips head was able to turn the screws, and even when they got into a tight spot against the handle, I was still able to get the screws all the way tight using JUST the Shard. I won't say it was super easy, but the relevant point was that it worked just fine. This pretty much sold me on the utility of its EDC and position in my pocket. Where other small multi-tools haven't survived in my pocket, I think this one is going to make it.
By the way, I am a huge fan of Gerber devices (mostly blades) and super excited to see that this is now EDC for me. My only complaint is that the black metal coating is quickly wearing off of the Shard due to having it on my keyring. I guess this fairly expected, but it's kind of disappointing to see it wearing off so soon. I'll have to see how it looks after the year mark. Overall, though, I'm very impressed with this device!
Okay, so how does the Shard work:
1. Wire-stripper: reasonably well if you understand that the best technique for using it is to press it straight down into the insulation just until you feel it contact the conductor part of the wire, then withdraw the tool, turn the wire over, repeat at a different position to score the insulation all the way around, and then slide the insulation off using your fingernail to slide it off, not the tool, to avoid damaging the wire. (If this is hard to visualize just think of how an actual wire stripper removes insulation and use this tool to perform the same type of action.) The people who claim this doesn't work as a wire-stripper may be trying to whittle the insulation off with it, which isn't how you strip insulation off wire unless you want to damage the actual conductor. Also given the size of the tool you're probably limited to no bigger than AWG 12 wire or so. But, you know what, if you're rewiring your barn you might want to invest in an actual wire stripper that has special places to strip each gauge. The Shard is for those times when you need to put a new plug on a lamp or extension cord and you don't have all your other tools around. And, I know it works for that exact repair because I did it, using no other tool but the Shard as both a wire stripper and screwdriver.
Screwdrivers (3): better than some on advanced multi-tools owing to the small size and maneuverability of this compact item. You can not get a monstrous amount of leverage though for the same reason, so it's not going to work if the screw is super tight. The Shard's Phillips driver worked great for tightening some loose screws on a family member's screen door. Also very appropriate for minor electronic repair, such as removing the case from a computer. Flathead drivers (2) give a nice sizing variety and seem to fit a lot of commonly-seen screws.
Bottle opener: pretty straightforward, no complaints. Does tend to distort the cap some on some bottles so it's sometimes better to use the opener in two different positions, making it a two-step operation. Minor issue, for certain.
Prying: works great as long as the size of this tool gives you adequate leverage. Way better (and safer) than messing up your knives or screwdrivers by using them to pry.
Lanyard hole: okay, calling this a "use" of the tool, as Gerber does, may be a stretch, but this ability to slip it right on your keychain is what makes it so valuable. Maybe they should replace the hole with a standard or metric wrench size/shape and then you have a bona fide seventh use, plus it doubles as a lanyard hole.
In the overall picture, every single claimed function of this tool works great - and it's the size and weight of a key, and only costs a few bucks. The Gerber Shard is an outstanding, worthy little tool that everyone should own.
