My review is a bit biased, given that I own an old orange Juice S2 and a last-generation Wave. Both are tools that make the Leatherman brand shine. Frankly, the Juice is one of the best tools/multi-tools/knives I've handled in over 30 years. It spoils you with its impeccable finish and usability. And, of course, everyone knows what the Wave is and can do. Mine is a superb example of the production capabilities of Leatherman.I recently bought the Squirt, hoping to incorporate it into a small EDC pouch. The reviews of its pliers had sold me. And when it arrived, those reviews proved true. The little pliers on the Squirt are classic Leatherman quality. Finely finished, tight tolerances and snappy springs. The spring design especially is very clever. Once you get both ... MoreMy review is a bit biased, given that I own an old orange Juice S2 and a last-generation Wave.

And when it arrived, those reviews proved true. The little pliers on the Squirt are classic Leatherman quality. Finely finished, tight tolerances and snappy springs. The spring design especially is very clever. Once you get both sides open past their detent points, the pliers' own springs take over and the tool snaps open in a very satisfying way. I can see these pliers getting used for hundreds of things over its lifetime.I can't say any of those good things about the rest of the tools though. To be blunt, the tools on the Squirt feel like knock-off Leatherman copies. The steel just looks plain. Utterly plain, compared to an old Juice. The knife is fine for opening a letter, but I wouldn't expect more from it. The file is not too bad, but the nail nick on it (and the knife) are both undersized. making them difficult to open. But neither is as difficult to open as the two small screwdrivers. For some reason, there's no cutaway for the nail nicks and thus the nicks themselves are almost hidden behind the scale, making them extremely difficult to open. The scissors are just as small as they appear in the YouTube reviews. Useable, but very small.I really wish there existed a multi-tool in-between the Squirt and the Juice. Something that focused on the pliers and a limited tool-set better implemented than the tools on the Squirt. I hope the Leatherman designers are listening :)

I've been a Leatherman user long enough to have several that are out of warranty. I carried my first PST for most of my 10 years in the Army including my deployment to Desert Shield/Storm and it was incredibly useful for all kinds of tasks. After leaving the Army in 1995, I didn't really carry a Leatherman every day because they tend to be too heavy to comfortably carry in khaki pants and belt carry would be unacceptable where I worked. I still acquired several more over the years and they are in my vehicles. The Leatherman Squirt PS4 is the first one I've owned that is truly easy to carry as a keychain tool. It is the perfect size and has a nice array of useful tools that I find more and more uses for every day. I have a Micra and a Mini Tool that I've tried to use ... MoreI've been a Leatherman user long enough to have several that are out of warranty.

It's been my EDC for a few months, ever since someone broke my Gerber Suspension that I carried for five years (don't share your tools, kids). The most used tools are the two flatheads. The large one is far too thick to fit into any flathead I've seen, and isn't even tapered. The skinny flathead on the nail file is far too thin and brittle. I was turning a screw on an outlet cover and the tip of the screwdriver broke off. The knife is nice and large, as are the scissors. My favorite tool on it has to be the package opener. At first I tried using it to cut packaging tape on boxes, but the knife is a far better tool for that job. It's not good for letter opening either, just use the knife. The package opener is the perfect tool to open those annoying as ever plastic ... MoreIt's been my EDC for a few months, ever since someone broke my Gerber Suspension that I carried for five years (don't share your tools, kids).
