Does anyone have a comparison or recommendation between the SOG CrossGrip and the Leatherman KF4? I'm looking for a smaller multi for EDC to have in my pocket when I don't have my SuperTool or SwissTool on my belt. I've also thought about the LM MiniTool. I also have an XE6 and Pulse, but would like something that didn't bulge as much in the pocket :eek:

The pliers are the feature I'm most interested in. I've got screwdrivers, etc. on my other EDC that I can rely on.
 
These two tools are very different from each other. The Juice Kf4 is 3.25" long, but quite heavy and bulky by comparison. It's not much smaller than the Xe6. The CrossGrip is closer to a Micra in size.

Like you, I have tried to find a small pliers-based tool that works. I owned a CrossGrip for awhile, but did not find it useful. If they had rolled the edges of the handle a bit to make it more comfortable, added a hardwire cutting notch, and redesigned the very poor phillips head screwdriver, I might have kept it. If you don't care about the screwdrivers and just need to crimp light metal, it might work for you.
