Gerber Lockdown Pry vs Shard

2 tools, measured the same way from the same sources. 5 of 16 rows read the same on all of them; the ones that differ are what follows. A rust value is the better one in that row, grey is the worse, and a dash means we have not verified the field rather than that the tool lacks it.

The Shard weighs 28 g (1.0 oz) and the Lockdown Pry 162 g (5.7 oz), so the Shard is 133 g lighter, 82% less. Only the Lockdown Pry has scissors, nail puller, chisel, plain-edge knife and file. At list price the Shard is $62 cheaper: $7.99 against $69.99 for the Lockdown Pry.

Verdict
Nothing in the measured fields separates it from the other. Pick on feel, or on a tool the other has and it does not.
Buy if it saves 133 g over the other; it is the cheaper of the two at $7.99, and it works out at $1.14 per tool.
Verdicts are built from the measured fields only. They are conditional by design: which tool wins depends on what you are carrying it for.
