Customer Review: A useful keychain-multitool
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had excellent experiences with Leatherman products (Wave, moderate-to-heavy use for 6+ years, Micra(s) ~4 years), and I held off purchasing prior versions of the Squirt so I could get the PS4. Unlike the previous reviewer, I'm very happy with it -- but I bought it with a different purpose in mind than he/she did. I'm not looking for a trail-hardened battle-robot that holds every instrument in the kitchen and is forged of Damascus steel.. I'm looking for an upgrade to my Micra that will serve as a reliable and un-obstructive multitool, that can sit in my pocket wherever I am until I need it.
On to why I like it. The PS4 is slightly shorter than the Micra (but slightly thicker), lightweight, and lines up quite nicely with my keys when I stuff them into my pocket. It allows access to all the fold-out tools without deploying the pliers (a game-changing feature compared to the Micra). The colored endguards are resistant to scratches from e.g. keys, but apparently can be chipped off if you try hard enough (which I did). There's a nice bevel on the endgaurds, too, so if they PS4 is hanging off your keychain, your fingers can find side with the knife without demanding your attention. The pliers provide good leverage, and if you flex on them, you can cut through 0.010" spring steel with the wire cutters at their base. The return-spring action of the pliers is stiff: balancing an animal cookie on one handle, I could catapult it ~6" without difficulty. The scissors are decently sharp -- sharper than my Micra's (which of course is quite old now) -- though the jaw is pretty short (~0.5"). One side of the file is has single-cut teeth, the other side is double (cross) cut.. I haven't used it yet, so I won't pass judgment on it. Both the flathead and half-phillips screw drivers taper in at their tips, which is nice, and the width of the phillips' tip is just less than 1/16", which I think will work with screws as small as #2. The knife-blade is made from 420HC (high-carbon) steel (look it up for properties and characteristics), which is the same as the Micra, and can cut the plastic bumper off a car. If it's in the way.
Note that the Product Description is incorrect (at the time of this writing, anyway): this isn't the S4, it doesn't have tweezers anywhere on its person, and I've seen no evidence of micro-serrations on the scissors. (They may be too micro.) Other than that, no real cons, yet. I bought mine on Amazon for $25. Happy shopping.
