Leatherman Squirt PS4, Style, Style CS ?

[BoxANT]

Looks like these guys are finally on the market, and I plan on getting one for keychain duty.

Squirt, biggest, most expensive, scissors and pliers.

Style, cheapest, smallest

Style CS, mid price, mid size, cool design, carabiner.

However, I am having a hard time choosing. All have their pros and cons.
The most important tool for me will be the scissors, but I have used neither the squirt/style or the style cs versions before. Anyone else have thoughts?

Not trying to nit-pick, but "biggest ..... mid size ..... smallest" depend on whether you're talking length or weight. You were obviously talking about weight, but just so there's no confusion for others, here's the specs from the LM site:

Squirt PS4: 2.25" closed and 1.9 oz ..... shortest length, most weight.

Style: 2.34" closed and .81 oz ..... mid length, least weight.

Style CS: 2.98" closed and 1.45 oz ..... longest length, mid weight.

Thank you for the clarification, yes I meant weight

I knew you did! Sorry I'm no help on your decision - you were sooo totally right when you said that all have their pros and cons - certainly when scissors are your #1 priority. Pliers happen to be my #1, with scissors #2, so it's a no-brainer for me - PS4 here I come!

BTW, have you found any place that's shipping these yet? All the one's I've looked at say they're on backorder, or will ship in 2 - 5 weeks.

Update: Just checked Amazon, and it looks like all 3 are available AND ready to ship - not from Amazon (so there's no free shipping), but from another vendor.

2nd update: Just pulled the trigger on a PS4 from Amazon. Looks like they have limited quantities available from their 3rd party seller and you have to pay around $6.00 for shipping. When Amazon gets them in stock themselves (earlier today they weren't selling them at all, and said it would be 2 - 5 week availability, IIRC) ..... anyway, I'd guess they would offer free shipping when they get them in stock.

I'm sure the PS4 will be great.

Personally I'm leaning towards the Style CS (have a Skeletool).

The new Squirt seems to be an obvious improvment over the last version. Very rarely have I actually used the awl or small flat-head -now replaced with scissors.
The Style looks like a winner too. MIght give the Vic classic a run for it's money.
