I live a little over an hour away from the Leatherman factory in Portland Oregon so instead of ordering online I drove to the retail store located at the factory to buy a Juice S2. I had printed their 20% off coupon to use but when I got there the gal showed me a basket full of Juice models that were even cheaper because they had a minor flaw either in the paint of how their logo printed on it. Other than a cosmetic flaw they were physically perfect and carried their full warranty, SWEET! Some flaws were so minor you almost couldn't find them; shows how picky they are about what leaves the factory. Anyway I grabbed a burnt orange S2 and love it. I've always had a Wave which I carry on my duty belt everyday for work along with all my other "holster" items but when I'm not working I choose to not have the bulk and weight of the wave and leave it. I'm always running into situations needing a tool and find myself without one, thus the S2 purchase, something smaller and lighter to just throw in the pocket, LOVE IT! If you haven't checked out the S2 you need to. It has all the essential tools you need for most situations yet is thin and lite enough to have in your pocket all the time.

The Juice tools does seem to have it's lovers and it's haters. Personally I'm a big fan of my SC2 and would have no issue with buying another in the range.

Do watch out of the flat screwdrivers though, the corners on them are SHARP and it's easy to catch your finger on them when opening.
 
I had the Juice S2 and liked it. I stopped carrying it only because I needed bigger pliers and started carrying the Wave instead.
 
I carry my S2 from time to time. It's a really nice tool, but as a multitool/SAK fan I often have a larger multitool nearby in my work bag, in my jacket or on the belt. So I don't carry the S2 very often and carry a SAK in the pocket.
 
I have a CS4 stowed away somewhere. Its my least favorite leatherman and it never sees any pocketcarry anymore.
 
I like my S2 and it is probably the best combination of the tools I want/need in a multi tool.
My only complaint is that I just can't get the knife blade as sharp as most any other blades I have. I think the blade is the weak link in the LM tool line(at least those I have).

I carry the S2 when I may need pliers etc. but don't want to take the Wave.
 
My S2 just arrived from Amazon today. First multi-tool purchase for me. I've had about 15 minutes to look at it. I was able to get the knife shaving sharp via my Spyderco SharpMaker in about four minutes. I'm going to try EDC'ing the S2 alone for about a week. So far it looks like it is a great tool. Tools snap open well, piliers seem sturdy and the scissors looks great. No complaints at all upon first inspection, but time will tell.
 
I carry mine at work cause I'm not allowed any multi so it hides well. Lol I much prefer my ST 300 though.
