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.

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 fileAfter 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!
