Leatherman Juice S2 or Squirt P4??

[TheLazySpoiledKitty]

Hey guys, well im thinking of buying either one of these but im just not sure which one, could you tell me your experiances with the tools so that maiby i'll have an easier time choosing.

The Juice lineup is larger, and while it may ride comfortably in your pocket, I really see it as a belt carry multitool. Being larger, it will handle more tasks. But if I were going the larger route, I would get a full size multitool like the Wave or SOG. JMO. The Juice is a midsize tool.

The Squirt series is smaller, and can ride on your keychain. Being a minimalist, I prefer the Squirt, and I rarely require the utility of a larger multitool. Consider the new PS4 rather than the P4, as the PS4 adds scissors.

This choice is really personal, a lot to do with what kinds of things come up in your day to day. For what I usually encounter, the Squirt pliers have been too small, the Juice large enough (barely), and its scissors larger and more useful than tiny ones such as on the PS4. For those occasions I need the smaller form factor, or am traveling somewhere locking blades are not legal to carry , I'll take the Juice. It carries well by belt hanger into my RF pocket, hardly noticeable until needed. That's just me, other folks travel their own roads.

BTW, although the PS4 adds scissors, it subtracts awl and small screwdriver. This may or may not matter.

I loved the squirt, but learned the hardway that the pliers cannot provide enough leverage to remove some bolts, so I bought a skeletool

I just got the Leatherman Juice, S2 version... scissors, no cork screw. It's perfect. Small enough to disappear until I need it and then large enough to get most jobs done without going to the toolbox. I carry it in a leatherman plastic sheath I purchased separately but would have no problem temporarily carrying it loosely in my pocket.

I have both and prefer the Juice S2 for EDC. It is larger, stronger and heavier, so it can handle a bit more tasks. But it is isn't very large, it is a bit shorter than the alox Victorinox Soldier, but wider. If I carry it, then I carry it in the coin pocket of my jeans, in which it fits very well.

But, the Squirt P4 is a useful multitool and small isn't necessarily bad. In fact, I regularly read amazing stories here about people and their Victorinox Classic.
