Leatherman Squirt P4 Review

[Carrot Cruncher]

I picked up one of these last week in the US for $40, I think they are around £35 - £40 over here but you may find one a bit cheaper


The pic above shows it along with a Mini Maglite for scale, the 2 pics below show the various tools. Apologies for the picture quality, I was using my phone





I have been looking for a small quality multitool (with plyers) for ages. I have used a SAK for years but really need the plyers as I often use them at work for fixing lights on the trailers I pick up. It also needed to be small so that I would keep it in my pocket all the time. The bigger Leathermans are great but because of their size I know for a fact that I wouldn't always keep it with me

I have tried various "cheap" multitools and to be honest most of them are not much good for constant use, various bits bend or break, but the Leatherman comes with a 25 year guarantee. I have had to use it twice this week and have to say it is a quality piece of kit. Definitely a case of you get what you pay for, at least in this instance.

The tools on it are as follows:

•Needlenose Pliers
•Wire Cutters
•Wood/Metal File
•Bottle/Can Opener
•Extra Small Screwdriver
•Medium Screwdriver
•Awl/Punch
•Flat Phillips Screwdriver
•Keyring Attachment
•Straight Knife

Weight is 2oz and it is 2 1/4 inches long when closed

An excellent bit of kit and well worth the money....i should have bought one years ago

Got my squirt mail order, $20. Somehow it didn't incur any extra taxes on import. Lucky me.
Extra little thing I added to mine, a tiny pair of tweezers and a mini scalpel blade which are held alongside by a piece of inner tube rolled over the whole thing.
The inner tube has another little use too, stops the Squirt from rattling against coins or keys.
