I have been using the leatherman squirt for the last four years now and it’s been one of the best small tasks multitools hands down. I have been looking at the dime for awhile now but wasn’t sure about switching over. After watching this review I’m sold on switching. One of the reasons is the tool to open packages was great and really got the job done without using your knife. The squirt does have the longer file but the file is one of the tools I don’t use that much. The tweezers are a huge plus and could come in handy in the woods or on the back porch relaxing. The bottle opener is way better than the squirt and the solid black look is nice. The blade is better and I like how the tip comes down so u don’t puncture items. The other reason for switching is I just purchased the gerber centerdrive not to long ago. Which in my opinion is one of the best multitools on the market. I have two edc’s. One before shtf and one after. There is no other multitool I rather have than the centerdrive for big tasks and I use my multitool everyday at work/home. Now leatherman did come out with the mule which is great for your rifle but for everyday tasks and more the centerdrive is almost perfect. 👌👍👏🍻

Used mine for 3 years. All the paint came off it till it was mostly silver. The scissors broke, & the package opener broke too. BUT, it was very useful-I was using the box opener every day. The tweezers are about useless. The pliers & bottle opener are great! The knife needs a locking mechanism but isn’t bad. The package opener works very well but eventually it bent well behind where it was supposed to stop-making it unusable. But credit to Gerber they stood behind their product and sent me a brand new one!

I now carry a serious tweezer and small hemostat + tourniquet + SAK + suture kit in a pouch in a jacket .

I have this tool 2 years now. It is not "hard anodised" it chips off easily. The package opener is very useful, and it is nice to cut zipties. Sizers are useless crap. you can cut paper with it but nothing else. Compare it to a leatherman micra or PS4 sizer...File is also useless. The philips head is nice but the bottle opener sticks out so much you can only be used with compromises. Flathed is made from a thin weak material. The pliers are small but precise. I use it for detailed work.

I own one of these, I'm really happy with the US$15 AUD$25 special price. BUT, it has no ergonomics at all. You can only hold the pliers with the can opener into your palm and even then you can't squeeze hard because it's all sharp edges. That said, it's the best little keyring tool for half the price of a Leatherman. The knife is really robust for the size too. The screwdriver tools are difficult because of the sharp edges and design. That package opener is REALLY handy. The tweezers are good too.

I found a similar Leatherman tool (Style?), someone lost! It is pretty similar. No bottle opener, but has a carabiner type end clip. It makes a great fishing tool, in my tackle box. The scissors are sharp enough to barely cut braided fishing line (which is tough stuff!) I have always preferred Gerber knives, as they hold a sharper blade, than most knives. So this looks like a good option too! & those tweezers come in real handy for pulling splinters out from under your finger nails! Ouch 😢. Now we recently got a customized, Leatherman Surge, for our Son's graduation gift from Marine Boot Camp (Parris Island) 🇺🇸. It is full sized, but full featured & Heavy! But was very nice!
