LEATHERMAN, Squirt PS4 Keychain Multitool with Spring-Action Scissors and Aluminum Handles, Built in the USA, Blue

My girlfriend expressed interest in having a multitool of her own after seeing my own collection. I did quite a bit of research and decided that the Leatherman Squirt PS4 would be the best fit for her. I will be giving it to her as a gift this upcoming Valentine's Day. Reasons for choosing : - I needed something small enough for her to slip into her pocket or on a keychain. Most women don't have as much pocket space as men, so I needed a tool that wouldn't be awkward and cumbersome for her to carry. -She needed something practical for her daily use. The scissors are great for trimming both fingernails and hangnails. The file can be used to smooth out any rough parts on the nail after trimming. Scissors are also great for cutting off stray threads on clothing. -Good selection of tools. Pliers are always handy to have, even if you don't think you'll need them. Great for providing extra grip when tightening bolts, picking things up, etc. I'd rather have pliers and not need them than need them and not have them. The pliers also have wire cutters on them. Also has two different sizes of flat head screw drivers. The smaller driver looks small enough that it might work on those small screws on glasses. I have not tested this yet. Now for the PROS and CONS. PROS : - Great price. Amazon offers this multitool for half of the price of what it costs in popular sporting good stores. -Great size. Not too big, not too small. Just the right size to be useful for light tasks. - Scissors. Leatherman does a great job with their scissors. I have the same type of scissors on a different multitool and they have held up great. Easy and comfortable to use. I use my scissors constantly. - Screwdrivers. The larger screwdriver is stout enough that you won't have to worry about breaking your tool. With some of the longer, thinner screwdrivers, you feel as if they will break, or twist your tool out of place, due to the size. This one feels more heavy duty. - All tools are easily accessible. Fingernail nicks are on all of the tools. -Great brand and company to do business with. Leatherman is a great company to support. CONS : - None of the tools lock. This is to be expected with a tool of this size. There isn't much room for a locking mechanism. PLEASE be careful when using the knife. It's a decent blade, but you could end up hurting yourself if you collapse the blade onto your fingers while using it. - No tweezers. Amazon needs to update their product page. There are no tweezers included in this tool. Would be a great addition. That's about all I can find for CONS. Overall, this is a great tool and I think my girlfriend will be very pleased to receive it! I would recommend this tool to anyone. It's small enough to slip into your pocket and forget about during the day, but it's there for you when you need it.

This is the best multitool I’ve used to date. This is only my 5th or 6th multitool I’ve owned but the others just sat in my toolbox or in my tool bag in my car or truck, collecting dust. I’m not the type to carry a multitool on my belt when wearing my non-work clothes. This squirt is the perfect size to fit in my pocket wherever I’m going. Everything works well in it too! The pliers are so fine tipped that I have used them to pluck hairs and remove splinters. Scissors can cut even thick zip ties! The knife, although small, is super sharp. I used it to cut piles of vegetation off my trucks driveshaft after getting stuck in a ditch. We had to rock the truck to get free from the ditch but we the weeds got caught on the shaft. With the tight tension on the weeds, we went right down the shaft cutting all the weeds away and making quick work of it. Enough weeds to make 2 adult sized piles! Bottom line is the best multitool is the one you can carry with you the most and USE the most. If it’s in my toolbox and I need a flathead, I’m gonna grab my craftsman proper flathead not from a multitool. We even got a Leatherman Surge at work and it’s great but I’ll never take it with me in my pocket. Now getting into ultralight backpacking it’s perfect for the trail. Scissors cut nails like a charm and file can smooth them out. Can’t say enough good about this, had to buy a second as a backup.

I've had this little Squirt PS4 on my keychain for a couple of weeks now and I have to say it does a great job. I don't like having a lot of keys and other stuff hanging from my keychain, so I replaced my bottle opener with the Squirt PS4 (it has a bottle opener on it). It is a little heavier than the bottle opener that it replaced, but way more useful and actually more compact in size. I'm usually carrying with my some kind of knife (Spyderco Delica 4, Cold Steel Recon 1, Kershaw Skyline, Spyderco Endura 4, etc) with me so the blade on this PS4 doesn't see much use. But all of the other tools seem to work very effectively. The scissors are smaller than the scissors on the older Squirt S4, but I find them still up to the job from cutting thread to cardboard and thin plastic containers. I was able to utilize the screwdrivers the other day to open up a server at work when I had forgotten to bring my screwdriver set with me (saved me 10 minutes of having to look for the set). I used to carry the Juice S2 with me, but with the Squirt PS4 and an additional knife I find myself very well equipped. So I moved the Juice to my EDC bag and have it available if there are bigger tasks required. The anodized handles are very nice too, I love the blue color and after a few weeks of rubbing around in my pockets with the keys and other loose items it shows absolutely no signs of wear. I figured by now it would have some kind of scratches, but it still looks brand new (that may change though who knows). The only con in this review is that I don't really like the blade on the knife. I mean it works alright, and I don't expect a lot out of such a small blade, but they only grinded one side. Not a big deal it still cuts things, I'm just not really a fan, which is why I carry another knife. I love this keychain multi-tool, I even bought one for my girlfriend (the red one), to replace her broken (scissors broke, tweezers got lost, etc) Swiss Army knife.

My father has carried always been accustomed to carry a leather-man on his key chain because it is simply an extremely useful tool to have on one's person. Two years ago, however, he walked right through airport security with his beloved Micra and had it confiscated (which was painful for the entire family as we had to listen to him grumble and gripe for the rest of the trip). Some time passed and, seeing that he still had not replaced his ill-fated Micra with a shiny new one, I began researching some of the newer tools on the market to surprise him with on his birthday. I quickly noticed that Leatherman was offering the "Squirt", which seemed like a nice upgrade to the scissor-central Micra tool he had always used. After weeks of research I decided yo go with the Squirt PS4 for a number of reasons: - Pliers WITH wire cutters. - Scissors to boot! - A sharp knife - The essential component in any man's tool: a bottle opener - Two different screwdrivers - a double sided file After having spent so much time researching the different tools available, I decided I couldn't live with myself if I didn't also own one of these beautifully crafted multi-tools. Naturally, I went with the PS4 as well and could not be happier with my choice. - Its weight makes a nice addition to my key chain. I can now feel more easily the presence of my keys in my pocket. - The pliers are high quality and precise. They work perfectly along with the wire cutters to change my acoustic guitar strings - something I had to use two sets of larger pliers to accomplish before. - The scissors are very sharp and very strong, as every other review here confirms. - The screwdrivers are a little tedious to use because of they are connected to the tool, but get the job done when there are no other tools available - The knife is sharp and perfect for those situations when a friend or coworker asks everyone in the room, "Anyone got a knife?" Luckily, you do. Not only will you impress the ladies with its sleek and sexy design but also the men with its sharp and strong blade. - Likewise, the bottle opener is a saviour when a real bottle opener is not available. It is certainly an emergency bottle opener and requires two or separate pulls on the bottle top's individual divets before the top can be removed. - On two separate occasions I have had different women exclaim about the need for a nail file; they are always pleasantly surprised when I whip it out! 5 Stars! I would buy this high quality multitool again in a heartbeat. It makes a great gift, too!

I've tried just about every name-brand keychain micro tool out there (thank you, TSA, for giving me the opportunity to buy a new replacement every time I fly). NONE is perfect. But this is just about as close as you can get. The best way for me to review this is to compare it to the next best option: the Gerber Dime. THE SHORT TAKE: The Leatherman Squirt PS4 is superior in construction and quality of materials. The Gerber Dime has unique and very useful tools. THE LONG TAKE: The Leatherman and the Gerber are very similar. They're compact, they have pliers and scissors, and their tools (knife, file, etc.) open AWAY from the keyring. If you use this tool on a keychain like I do, it's hard to overstate how important this last fact is. Many multi-tools have their tools mounted such that they pivot open on the same side as the keyring. This means you're grabbing on to a big wad of keys as the handle for your tool: not very effective. The Leatherman and the Gerber get it right, with tools pivoting open opposite of the keyring. This allows you to use the tool body as the handle, and affords much greater control. Of the tools shared between the Leatherman and the Gerber, the Leatherman's are just better in every way. The pliers are solid, and can be used for twisting, whereas the Gerber pliers had a lot of play and weren't very useful in that regard. The Leatherman's scissors are sharp, although very small. The Gerber's scissors are all but useless, as the gap between the two blades makes is nearly impossible to cut anything. The Leatherman's knife is properly shaped, and very sharp. The Gerber's starts out sharp enough, but dulls very quickly, and has a very weird tip to it. The other tools on the Leatherman are as expected - not very useful, but still better quality and implementation than the Gerber's. The Gerber has a couple of tools that I wish wish WISH the Leatherman had. First is the "retail package opener". I never realized I needed one of these until I had one and started using it. It is SO useful for so many things (like opening packages, surprisingly). Having one of these also allows you to save your blade for more important things (whatever those may be). The second tool is the externally-mounted bottle opener. It is so convenient for opening up my root beers. Yes, the Leatherman technically has one, but you have to open the tool up, flip it out, close the tool again, use it, and then reverse the process. Not to mention, it doesn't work very well. No assembly required for the Gerber. Just pull it out of your pocket, pop your top, and put it back. It literally saves SECONDS (I say that a little tongue-in-cheek, but really, it's so much nicer). SUMMARY: The Leatherman Squirt PS4 is very well built. It feels very tight. All the joints are solid and have little, if any, play. The knife is razor sharp, and keeps its edge. Being able to use the tools without unfolding the knife is a MUST, and the Leatherman delivers. Though I deeply miss a few of the tools found on the Gerber Dime (the retail package opener and external bottle opener), the quality is just not there. If the Leatherman and the Gerber had a baby, it would be THE 5-star keychain tool. Since inanimate object can't reproduce, I pick the Leatherman Squirt as my go-to all-rounder.

This is a great pocket tool that I carry with me at all times. When closed, it is about two inches long, so it only occupies a small amount of space in your pocket. The pocket knife does not get any longer than four inches. It is small, but it is strong and durable. The material is solid and holds up to the different tasks I have used it for. I have never seen the blade of the knife bend, the scissors bend, or anything else bend. This is not the kind of tool that you will need to use every day, depending on what your daily activities are. However, this is the perfect tool to carry with you at all times because it is small, and at one point or another, will be a godsend. The scissors on this tool are surprisingly strong. They cut through paper just as well as any pair of scissors, and they can also cut through more difficult materials, such as cloth. Unlike other utility knives that I have owned, these scissors do not bend one way or the other when using them. It is easy to grip them and they are never too loose while cutting. The main blade is strong as well. On most utility knives, the blade is the main tool on the knife. However, the blade is roughly as long as the scissors and is not very tall or thick. However, this has never posed a problem while using it. It is perfect for tearing through plastic, cardboard packaging, fishing line, plant vines, and the like. I have not found much use for the other tools yet (personally speaking), but I am sure that one of them will come in handy at some point. Again, this is the kind of tool that will come in handy in ways you can't foresee. I would recommend this utility knife to anyone who is looking for a small, lightweight, strong utility knife.

I had a Squirt S4 for about 10 years. I loved it! It lived faithfully on my key ring and only left my side when I boarded an airplane. I had lost the tweezers, and the scissors were getting slightly dull... but it was still my faithful companion through life's ups and downs. Then one day my boyfriend borrowed my car to go to the airport. I forgot to take my beloved Squirt S4 off my key ring. And he forgot that one should not bring a pocket knife through security. So ended a long and beautiful friendship between a girl and her trusty Squirt S4. I thought I could replace it with the PS4. And while the PS4 is a wonderful tool...I can't help but notice that it's not my S4. I like having the pliers and the small scissors. But I'd rather have my full size scissors back. Sure... the PS4 is sleeker with the new matte finish, but it's not the same. My new PS4 now lives in the vacated spot on my key ring and does all sorts of handy things for me. Still, it cannot, and never will be, my good ol' S4. If you are lucky enough to never have experienced the love and loss of an S4 then you'll love the PS4. Squirts, of all types, really are handy little tools. They are also very small and convenient. I know that some guys proudly carry around their larger Leathermans in their humongous useful guy pockets. Alas, fashion dictates small useless pockets for us females. But why should that make me any less capable of fixing my own problems? I just bust out my handy little Squirt and can save myself before some guy and his big pocket knife steal my thunder. Granted, there are some things a larger Leatherman can do that my amazing little Squirt can't. But those situations have been few and far between in my entire love affair with my Squirt. I really couldn't be more madly in love with my little Squirt.

I have owned Leatherman multitools for 20+ years. Currently I own a Leatherman Surge (awesome tool, my daily carry tool, please see my review), the SuperTool 300 (which I keep in my earthquake bugout bag), an older Leatherman that is beat up and worn but still works perfectly (I can't remember what model it is), this one the Squirt, plus a few cheapo knockoff non-Leatherman multitools that frankly suck. Do not waste your money on cheepie multitools because I know from experience they break right at the moment you need them the most. Not worth saving a few bucks. Now on to the review of the Squirt PS4. They call this a "keychain model" and it definitely is. It is small and light and compact, but don't be fooled into thinking it is not capable. I use this tool constantly and it has not let me down. It provides peace of mind knowing that since I always have it with me I am never going to be caught without a lot of functionality and utility. Plus it is a gorgeous multitool -- I get compliments on it all the time. Very pretty color and the machining is precise and inspires confidence. Can you attach this to your key ring and keep it will you always? Yes. Is it light enough to keep in your jeans front pocket? Yes. Back pocket? Yes. Sweatpants pocket? Yes. Basketball shorts pocket? Yes, but not to play hoops in, just for walking around the neighborhood. Swimsuit pocket? Ummm.. probably but then you'll probably take it in the water so I don't recommend this. Ladies, can you you keep one of these in your purse? Absolutely yes, great idea - it takes up barely any space and it's built super tough so it won't get damaged in the bottom of a purse or gym bag. Overall this is a great tool. I will try to post a picture with a size comparison so you can get a sense of how big it is. But trust me it's the perfect size for a keychain. Highly recommend.

Leatherman ha hecho posible disminuir las dimensiones de sus herramientas y crear la Squirt PS4. Esta herramienta múltiple aunque es pequeña puede cumplir con diversas tareas y usarse diariamente como llavero o portarla en el bolsillo del pantalón. Todas las herramientas funcionan bien pero la herramienta más relevante son las pinzas, son delgadas pero robustas y pueden utilizarse con seguridad ya que tienen buen agarre y pueden inclusive cortar cables delgados. Esta es una herramienta sorprendente.

Worst Seller...Product box is 2 years old... product is not sturdy but that is because it is old piece..otherwise leatherman is good brand..Donot buy from circlekart seller..There are dents on all the spins that are holding the tool.Also screw driver are very loose

This is a very robust little multi-tool. While it may not have many tools it has enough to mkae it a valuable EDC addition to your kit. The knife is sharp out of the box and great for light utilitarian jobs. The scissors are excellent and have a great leaf spring action. The real winner is the set of pliers on the MT. It has a great spring system that is very strong and returns to an open setting, and is easily one hand manipulated. This is a much better option over the Gerber Dime which broke on me within weeks of light use. Yes this is more than 3 times the price, but it has already lasted 3 times as long. Buy once, cry once. A definite win here for Leatherman. -Squib

A great multi tool backed by a fabulous company! A precise little device able to take on many daily tasks and more. On top of the tight tolerances of this mini device, the backing of a fantastic customer service is second to none! Nicely anodized scales offer a very durable shell for the knife, scissors, the two drivers, and the file which can nearly sub in as a mini saw! Your ps4 can be anything you can put your mind to. It can assist with loose thread, the opener of your latest instant noodle discovery, or the savoir when you have a hangnail! It has now become my pistachio eating buddy, but the sky's the limit with this gem. When you're packing light for everyday life in the city, look no further... This powerhouse of a tool is a must have! 5 stars for this tool and Leatherman, the company that gives this handy tool a 25 year warranty!
