Sootch’s ability to laugh at himself is refreshing. I feel like a lot people in the prepper community take themselves too seriously.
Yes. And it's funny as heck too. Makes me laugh!
I've lost every one of those small multi tools until I started tying a piece of red paracord on the lanyard. Works very well.
Good review, they all have a place and as you noted it's whichever one has the greatest fit to your activity. I've got several models but the Squirt has been my in pocket unit for years and it's still going strong.
I'm a hospital domestic for the British NHS and I've had the Leatherman Micra on my key-chain for the past three years and it's been great. Obviously, for me scissors are more important than pliers. I'm just considering changing to a slightly larger version as the small scissors can be a little awkward for cutting wide tape, etc. But, otherwise I've been super happy with it. My thoughts go to all my American counterparts in hospitals, keep safe!
Don’t they make a scissor version of the ps4. Instead pilers u get scissors ?
I gave all my grooms-mans Micras 13 years ago. Most of them still have them and use them everyday.
Can’t wait to get mine, great choice in gifts
Great idea. Thanks
Juice S2 is my pick. I have EDC'ed one for almost 10 years. It seems to be the perfect size to be effective, yet doesnt feel like i will break it like the smaller ones i have tried.
This is the comparison I was looking for and it definately helped me to choose the best one for my keychain set. Many thanks!
@PaleBlueDot Leatherman squirt ps4 black
Funny you should post this today.
I always carry a leatherman sidekick....but today I went canoeing.thought I go lightweight with the gerber dime..but just to wimpy....I will carrying my s2 juice next time...great vid
Nice review. Having several Leatherman's I pair them with a certain bag or pouch. If you have a need they have a tool. I would like to see them develop a racheting bit driver for their bits.
After more than 10 years, I lost my OG wave. I've recently picked up a more pocketable sidekick, which I keep in my pocket around the yard or my backpack when I'm out, along with a Micra for my keychain. The combination of the two gives my a good rounded set of tools with little redundancy. Loving the Micra. I never thought much of keychain tools before, but I use this thing more than I thought I would.
I've carried the squirt for about a year and love it!
Love my squirt.Its functionality far outweighs its limitations
Nice video. Informative. When I heard your closing comment (before blooper reel) I instantly subscribed.
I keep a Leatherman Supertool in my Subaru center console box. A Leatherman (don't know the model but it has a pickle fork and a corkscrew) in my work EDC bag along with a Leatherman micra. I also have a micra that sits on my computer desk next to me. Super wombat good quality tools to always have handy. And dang if those tweezers haven't pulled out a lot of splinters and straying long eye lashes poking me in the eye. Surprisingly my micra made through and back on my last trip to Honolulu. It was in a carry on bag with fly fishing gear that I used to fish the flats for bonefish. The micra is an important part of my fly fishing gear. Worth every penny!
Great reviews. Would like to see one on larger sized multi-tools. These seem a bit small for me.
I've carried the original orange Juice S2 for years now. There are so many good pocket tools out there but every time I think I want to look at something different or new on the market I keep coming back to that old Juice. BTW I've started carrying it in a pocket caddy and that has REVOLUTIONIZED my EDC. Everything stays vertical and in place and doesn't clank around with my Olight S2 and Victorinox nail clippers.
My edc multitool is the SOG Powerpint, it’s nice for pocket carry.
I've been wanting a leatherman this video definitely help, i use my Gerber but i just don't like carrying it all the time. I Think i will try the squirt
Finally! Been looking for things to carry thats travel friendly.
excellent video as always ... here in Brazil where I live is impossible to have one of these ... very expensive ... but without a doubt is the best in the market ...
I have the Gerber multi-tools which I keep in my backpack, at home, and in my EDC bag. My vehicles have off brand multi-tools which does the job, but not all that good though.
I have carried an original Juice S2 for a long time now. Awesome tool.
Great video Sootch. I think I’ll get the squirt for my keychain.
I've noticed a trend I tend to stick to. I have 6 Leatherman tools. 2 each of the Squirt PS4, Wave+, and Surge Gen2. I like the outside accessible tools. The ones with strictly inner tools are uncomfortable and slow. Micra, Rebar, PST, etc. Plus I like the exchangeable screwdrivers, files, saws, and wire cutters. I EDC the Surge but I wanted something smaller for when I have to dress up so I got the Squirt. Then found the Wave+ for 40% off and couldnt resist. I will probably be giving the Waves away as gifts
Good review, very helpful....thanks!😊
Very Cool comparison video Sootch00. As always long live the republic my friend
I love it when people explain how to use scissors and what they are for.
It's very complicated 👍
I have one of the Squirts that has the special pliers with built in multiple gauge wire strippers. It’s not a very good multi tool but I wanted the convenience of the wire strippers for electrical use. I have a Rebar for regular multi tool stuff but if I have a electrical task I can use it for that.
Great options for a pocket size EDC kit
juice s2 is an edc king for the masses.
juice c2 is great for bar workers because the corkscrew replaces the scissors and has a bottle opener.
tec style suspension pocket clip or even a lanyard are FANTASTIC additions to the juice.
the skeletool is another edc king. paired with the leatherman bit kit and bit extender and you have a lot of capability.
keychain i prefer the victorinox cadet or pioneer. alox scales are what i like.
gerber shard is really good on the keychain as is the nitecore tube. one of the little pill holder capsules is okay. not too much bulk but good light weight stuff to get you through most tasks.
leatherman wave or victorinox spirit are very nice if you have heavier usage.
if you wear a belt and depending on your usage a leatherman charge tti or mut will be great for you.
Great video, supper detailed and efficient
Don't forget the phillips on the Juice. I noticed you didn't mention it in the comparison.
Probably the BEST phillips screwdriver I've found on a multitool!
Funny thing Sootch, I've also recently been looking for EDC Leathermans and bought several including these 4 and a couple others recently. For the past week I have been carrying in my walmart wrangler Jeans (32x32) 5th pocket, aka watch pocket, easily and comfortably, a Victorinox classic SD, next to my Leatherman Squirt PS4 which is next to my Leatherman Juice S2. ..in my front right pocket (below the tools) I have a Sig p365 w/ flush mag in Superfly holster. In my right back pocket I carry a small quality pocket knife as far to my right side of the pocket as possible. In my back left pocket is the wallet. in my front left pocket is small galaxy s7 cell phone and a Streamlight stylus pro.
Mind you I work in a large factory and an constantly moving operating machines lifting totes in total comfort. I dont take anything out when I sit down. Pure comfort. Overkill? Nah. I just like multitools lol
I've been using the Squirt PS4 for 13 years. Use it constantly: screwdrivers, pliers, scissors, files, blade--in that order. Only used wire cutter/bottle opener a few times. I love it and it has always been in my pocket. Hasn't rusted, but I use it under ideal conditions. I found the Micra just too clumsy to use. Too bad the Squirt has now been discontinued.
I keep a Micra in my mini survival tin. It’s small enough to fit but strong enough for basic needs and doesn’t weigh down the kit. All my multi tools are Leathermans. No other brand lasts or performs better.
Good video, keep up the good work
you missed the philips screwdriver of the juice s2. great multi-tool.
The "smaller flat-head" on the squirt is for phillips-head screws!
I carry the squirt in dress pants and the juice in all other types of pants. If I'm doing utility work, I'll wear a full-size MT on my belt.
Be well,
Don
Glad someone pointed this out. The Phillips bit is by far the most used thing on my Micra. The scissors are second for emergency nose hair trimming.
I carry the leatherman wave everyday and have started carrying the micra just for the bigger scissors
great review!
SquirtPS4 is a great minitool. Alot better then the Dime, for example. My Skeletool CX was dissapointing (for me). Now im moving to SOG Powerpint for locking capability. For heavier tasks ive got fully equipped SwissTool with ratchet and Black&Silver Surge.
Bought the Skeletool CX and honestly just carry it for the glassbreaker bit (paranoid about car crashes) & knife. Have used the pliers maybe twice and the knife a few times for food related tasks. Rarely use the drivers, but they were a good alternative due to the L shape handle. The Powerpint has been enticing me but I'm just too scared of their crappy support & quality, though Maxlvledc seems impressed with his... Now I'm thinking to just get a used Squirt PS4 & Leatherman's Removable Driver Kit, plus something like a Kershaw Drivetrain.
I have or have had all 4 of these. I just got my first micra as a groomsman gift. Ive always found pliers to be a more necessary tool for me, but i have to say that the scissors on the micra are far superior to any i have ever used on any multitool.
Good review. I need one so this helps.
Very detailed comparising, the squirt really is a small one
I have an old Juice Kf4 that I’ve had as daily cary for years. Equally useful working in IT and in the field. One of the springs just broke on it. Would Leatherman be able to fix it for me?
Olá essas 4 ferramentas são de grande utilidade em um pequeno trabalho. Abraço! Rio de Janeiro brazil
Es gracioso que siendo hispanoparlante entienda perfectamente este comentario
The Style PS hooks to a key chain easily, and if an emergency beer shows up your ready to tackle it. As you said most people carry a knife, but it's incredibly useful to have a small set of pliers and wire cutters if needed.
why did Leatherman stop making the Squirt PS4 tool ?
Great stuff.
The two other multi tools you need to look at is sidekick and the wingman they both have pocket clips
Im looking for good fixed blade with good sheath any suggestion?
The juice is great for people who work with Home electricity and wires a lot
Still rockin the victorinox cadet!
Good choice, I have a vintage Wenger Swiss Army issued, and a Trekker (Bundeswehr), they're great. I'm often using the trekker for bushcraft or skinning game when I don't have my knife with me
I've been wanting to get a GOOD multi tool for quite awhile, thank you for the review. Do these come with cases? It would be nice if a p 38 was added. Thanks again. God bless
this is gonna be a long shot but please can someone let me know where he got the micra in that dark pinkish color? i can only find that super bright pink one.
Leatherman Skeletool CX every day. I carried a Wave for 10 years, a Charge Alx for 5, now I carry a Skeletool. It's got a great blade so there's no need for a separate blade, pliers, screwdriver, and it opens beer.
Micra stays in my tackle box. Never cared for it EDC.
@2:42, that's effectively a philips-head screwdriver, the point allows it to slow into such screws.
Letherman Juice S2 is my pick, but I wish they add tweezers to it because its an important tool.
Agree 100%
You’re right! I wind up carrying my SAK “Manager” all the time on my key ring, just for that reason (& for the other useful tools!).
I wish I could get all the features of the micra but with pliers instead
Check out the SOG PowerPint.
Its the best mini Multi-tool in my opinion.
Skeletool is perfect for EDC brother, that's my pick.
mozzberg it's also nice it has a full blade on it so you don't have to carry a knife. Also a pocket clip
mozzberg I actually carry a skillet tour every day. I really like it. About the perfect in between size multi tool.
@@davidaltemeyer7344 skillet tour ? Lol ... is that like when someone drives to every greasy spoon diner in the country and eats .
Auto correct funny ...🤣
I like the juice S2. I have had one for years. I want to buy another one, but I can’t find one. Do they still make them?
I wish the leatherman style ps coulld swap the file for a blade. Anyone knows if it can be done?
That Leatherman squirt sure is cute and a pretty blue for a multitool! Definitely getting one. ^_^
I just wish it had a *can* opener instead of a bottle opener. ;_; I don't drink but for a glass of wine on Fridays. :P Also looking for something with a reverse tanto sometime. I'm mediocre with blades and sharpening. Durable, sensible blade design is a must for me. (I'm really good at prepping for a sissy tho, you'd definitely want my skills in an SHTF situation, I swear! I put family and community first, forage wild flora, run and cycle 5 days a week, cook & preserve food, and work a tough blue collar job like the rest of ya! ♥♥♥ I'm just a bit of a femboy and I do art and silly dumb stuff on the side is all.)
Anywho, thanks for showing off the goods! Stay safe out there and have a blessed day. ♥
Hit thumbs up if you would like to see a full video of "SensiblePrepper" bloopers ! I love blooper reels & love your channel Sootch!
PS Style is my favorite
Would the TSA confiscate the Style PS because of the scissors?
You should put up a vote to see what people carry edc.my first choice for every day is the sidekick..for a weekend in the bush I carry the surge.on my belt
The s2 juice is my pocket carry for shorts...dont waste money on a gerber dime...it would be a good little tool for the wifes purse..
The Dime it would be a good little tool for the wifes purse.. if you hate you wife, as they suck big time :D
I wish Leatherman still made the Juice seires and Squirt PS4. I am not sure why they discontinued a great tool like the squirt.
The Juice is the best all round multitool! It's all I have carried for well over a decade.
One other thing to mention that not everyone is aware of, the Phillips on the Juice will work with a bit driver extender and will then allow you to use any bits that fit in a 1/4 drive, including that letterman 2D bits.
I carry a "Leatherman Wingman".
I like the Micrs and the Style PS. The tweezers on the Micra are the worst I've ever tried to use. Other than that, they are both good little tools.
There is a blade version of the freestyle
I have had the Micra for a few years, i find the scisors mediocre at best, the tweezers useless, and difficult. The mediun flat head/Phillips does fit the #2and 3 Phillips well, the small flat head works well for toys and other electronics battery compartments. The file is ok thogh i hadn't used it much. The other tools are adequate. I finnd my Victorianox Tinker yo fit my needs most days, but may check out the Style for my "Sunday go to meeting" carry option.
If I didn't see him at the beginning of the video I would've thought Dr. Phil was comparing all of his multi tools.
💚💚💚
Such a shame these are so crazy expensive outside the US .
The first three are all over AUD$75 in Australia.
I've never seen a Juice for sale here. The Wave is AUD$229 !
The Dime is popular here because it's AUD$25-35.
I've been using the original leatherman PST almost every day for about 18 years and it's still really good tool, and I can't seem to find a replacement which is as slim and slick in design. Which of the current leatherman has the slim square design and similar size as the PST, because I can't seem to find one? The squirt looks a bit too small for me, but has the right shape as I want to use a holster
Try the new leatherman bond I love mine
@@luckymeziere3675 oh wow, I didn't know they released s new one that similar. I'll might consider getting that one. Thank you for the suggestion
I have a SOG Multitool, tip of pliers broke,, tried to contact SOG to get repaired. No response to email. Are they out of business?
No update to this series?
👍🏻
Have you ran across any TSA approved/acceptable multi tools? Thanks
Mudd Man I believe leatherman does make a multi tool that does not have a knife which makes it TSA compliant. Search their web site or just google TSA compliant multi tool. I’m sure I e seen it before just don’t remember the name
QUESTION, why did Leatherman stop making the Squirt PS4 multi tool ?
Why do you need an EDC gun? Seems that would cause more problems than it solves, unless it's a "comdort" issue, like a security "blanky."
I wear a full size Leatherman 200/300(I have both), Surge on my belt every day. I also carry a 3 1/3" blade very capable belt knife. I do not carry a handgun. I don't see the need. My level of paranoia is fairly low. I rarely travel very far from home. In my pickup truck is a "scout rifle style" truck gun. I am very well armed as long as I can get to my truck. I am a farmer. I work at "home." I don't travel much. The cow gets milk every day etc.
That's not a small flat head on the squirt. It's a 2D Phillips head.
But it also works as a flat, for opening watches or other tiny screws
One small correction. Leatherman are built to last a lifetime, but the warranty is 10 years
"I am already carrying a knife, a gun a phone" - sensibleprepper the american
PS4 is just great, if it can have a tweezer it will be prefect.
I carry a leatherman wingman every day.
Gerber Suspension NXT
I carry a skelitool cx
i use a micra because i use scissors the most
As an electrician that does strictly remodels this is an absolute essential tool. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx0vyBwjtx9GGOuiqUVT2sRoYqmDoNT_RI Being able to precision cut any material with a light weight tool is priceless.I upgraded to this Dewalt 20v from a competitor's 12v. The Dewalt 20v is just as light as the competitor's 12v. I am extremely pleased with the overall performance and battery life of this tool. As far as oscillators go, they just aren't very ergonomic tools. The dewalt oscillators have an offset handle that do make them somewhat more ergonomic than the competitors' oscillators.
There must be different versions of the Style. My Style has a small blade with scissors instead of plyers.
Thranis the style hes using is the ps the other one i think is the cs
No SAKs?
Squirt p4 as a keychain tool is hard to beat
Wilkos mini multitool is a bargain in the uk.
I will normally carry a Leatherman Wave on me 99.9% of the time.
Thanks for being a gwate wesource, I've werned a wot :)

For me the Leatherman rebar. No questions asked
albert slightly bigger than a juice. More powerful. Like double
