Overview of the Gerber Gear Strap Cutter | 1070066
The Gerber Gear Strap Cutter 1070066 is a Made in USA seat belt cutter and hook knife with a high visibility orange nylon sheath. Some retailers list it as the Strap Cutter 2.0. Gerber states it cuts through nylon straps and seat belts in seconds.
Cut Free in Seconds
A jammed seat belt after a rollover, a patient strapped to a backboard, or a tangled harness all call for the same thing: a fast cut that will not hurt the person inside. The blunt hook shields the 420HC stainless steel edge, so webbing feeds into the blade while skin stays clear.
Built for Rescuers and Drivers
Firefighters, EMTs, police officers, tow operators, and everyday drivers carry it. The bright orange sheath stands out in a cluttered glove box, door pocket, or trauma bag, so you find it fast when seconds count.

Tempered glass breaking tip for vehicle side windows

Key Features

Fast cutting: Gerber states the hook slices nylon straps and seat belts in seconds.
-
Shielded edge: A single bevel knife edge sits inside a blunt hook, so the blade guards skin and delicate surfaces.
-
420HC stainless steel: Black oxide coating gives a non-reflective, corrosion-resistant finish.
-
Glass breaker: A tempered glass breaking tip on the pommel helps you clear a side window.
-
Secure grip: An injection molded rubber grip, textured back edge (jimping), and extra-large finger loop keep control with wet or gloved hands.
-
Lanyard hole: Add a lanyard or tether so the cutter stays with you.
-
High visibility sheath: The orange nylon sheath is easy to spot in a dark vehicle or a packed medical bag.
-
