Went shopping for a Multi tool today.....

For petite people, (my hand is only 7" from tip of middle finger to base of wrist) the Juice is hard to beat. Locking blades would be better, of course, and though the scissors are -good- scissors, it's a bit of a pain that they don't open directly (you have to move the can/bottle opener out of the way first). But contours and the rounded edges of the handles are more comfortable than any other multi-tool I've managed to lay hands on. I have the orange juice S2, just so you know.

As for the colors, I think if I have to explain about constant-carry of a "weapon-like" tool on my keychain, in my purse, or what-have-you, I'd rather it were bright and cheerful-looking instead of night-ops black or GI olive drab. I picked a Buck Vanguard with the 'cherrywood' rose-colored handle for camping use for the same reason. Who takes over the world with a pink knife?

It is hard to find a tool that does it all.

I have and love the leatherman super tool(old style). but I need the swiss army toothpick and scissors so I also carry a super tinker. but I also need a defensive one hand opening so I have a spydie endura.

I carry 3-4 knives daily. wish it could be just 1 or at most 2.
 
Chrisaloia, don't fret mate, the day may come when you'll be
very glad you carry that combination of iron. I tried to "slim"
down some but it's just no go. And I don't carry ANYTHING
that has no purpose.

You said it correctly......NO tool does it all.
 
I just received an older Gerber Multi Plier that I bought on ebay. It's one of the first non-locking models that had the wierd awl blade instead of a file and where the plier handles close too much and pinch your fingers. I bought one of these when they first came out on the market in 89-91? In those days I worked outside everyday and carried the Gerber and a Victorinox Executive. I traded the Gerber away for a Leatherman in about '95. I had a nostalgic moment last week and saw one in VG used condition so I bought it. I'll probably never carry it but when I pulled it out of the sheath today I got all warm and fuzzy. :)
 
sometimes I feel weird with so much metal but then I come here.


since it is summer I carry a fanny pack that holds the leatherman and my mini-kit. so I carry travel alittle lighter.
