I do own one, and honestly quite like it for lighter use.
I think one of the drawback for any pliers based MT is weight, and most full size LM MT would start at around 6-7oz(all the way up to 12oz such as SURGE). What's great about Leap is the ultra light weight at 4.9oz(138g), but it does have a full size tool pliers head. If we look at SAK 91mm camp, something closer to that weight would be a 5 layers Master Craftsman.
The sad thing about Leap is LM tried to 'dumb down' the tools and make it more appealing to 'kids', so some of the tool implements(besides the pliers head) do leave something to be desired for. But otherwise, if you are looking for the lightest pliers head MT for EDC, I think this is a viable option for light use(similar to the previous Juice)
