Is the Center Drive worth it over a Leatherman?

If screwdriving is your main job, the centered driver beats most rivals. If you want the widest tool set in the smallest package, a Wave+ or similar is a better fit.

Does it take standard hex bits?

No. It uses Gerber's flat double-ended bits. You can buy replacements and adapters, but standard 1/4-inch bits need an adapter.

The Center Drive tool, a set of extra flat bits, and a sheath. Check the listing, since bundle contents vary by seller.

Roughly 9.5 ounces, which is heavy for pocket carry. It suits a sheath or bag.

Multi-tools like this drop around major sales and hunting/outdoor promotions. Watch the price history rather than buying at list.

Our take on the Gerber 14225SET Center Drive/Weapon Kit

The Gerber Center Drive is a full-size multi-tool built around a bit driver that sits on the tool's centerline, so it turns like a screwdriver instead of off to one side. The kit version adds a bit set and sheath. It is a heavy, USA-made tool aimed at trades and heavy daily use rather than pocket carry. It is sold mostly through knife and outdoor retailers, so pricing varies by store and bundle.
