Juice CS4 drivers

[Locust]

I'm thinking of getting a CS4 but I'm wondering how well the drivers work. The phillips bit is super stubby and the flat head bits seems like they were an after thought. I'm used to using a Vic explorer. Should the CS4 bits work at least as well?

I have a KF4 and XE6, same drivers. The phillips is a little stubby, and won't work well on really recessed screws. The Vic driver is better for that. I've never run into an issue with the flatheads, and having that extra small driver is great for eyeglasses and electronics.

The one thing that I'll give the Juice drivers over the Victorinox is that they aren't as shiny and rounded, so they do grip better with less slippage. Just my 2 cents.

I just got a Juice SC2 last week and have been giving it a good workout by building 6 kitchen cabinets with it. Though the Phillips is short it's also well formed (like most LM's). The flat bits are also very well formed but do have the issue of being much to tricky to get out. Small nail 'stubs' to pull them out with, plus tight pivot makes for less than simple access.

I'm a fan of Vic stuff myself but I don't think you'll be unhappy with the Juice. Not flawless at all, but still a good tool.

Thanks for the responses. Next time I find an excuse to get a new MT I think the CS4 will be at the top of my list.
Aside: On a youtube review someone commented on the CS4 being discontinued. It isn't true is it?

Not according to the LM website. The only Juice models to have been stopped are; KF4, Pro and CS2 and of those the Pro and CS2 were limited runs for specific retailers. I'd say you've got time to buy.

Thanks. I didn't think so. But seeing as how the Kick and Fuse are still listed I wanted to be sure.
