"More JUICE: Leatherman CS4, XE6" by Nutnfancy
Рет қаралды 157,265
Күн бұрынLong known in TNP as my favorite light duty multi-tool, the Leatherman S2 Juice continues to set standards in compactness, light weight, durability, and function. But it may be lacking in tool set for certain duties. Then you might want to JUICE it up with the also excellent Leatherman CS4 and XE6 MDMTs. Adding a saw, awl, file, and rescue cutting blade (depending on model), these multi-tools have postive detents and the US produced quality we love in our Leathermans. They will add more weight and may not fit into your system (embrace the fanny pack!) but they are more capable than the S2 in most ways. The colorations are excellent in both and they would make perfect gifts. Value is very high for the quality levels and apparent durability. At their weight levels you may have to make a choice on whether going with these or some other good alternatives like the Leatherman Wingman or Sidekick.//////////////////////Nutnfancy LIkability Scale on both: 9 out o10 (pitch the stupid cork screw and its pure tensies)

The Rebar weighs the same as the CS4 with longer, locking tools, an awl, the best wire cutters on an MT, and for a bit less cash, (steel costs less than the Aluminum.) just a thought. Especially for guys who use the tools often, or my favorite, wilderness use. Everything you need, nothing you don't, strength in reserve.

There are a lot of multi-tools out there with small flat blade screwdrivers, but Leatherman got this right by making the shank slim as well. I use flat blades often at work and these have three, I'm sold. Getting the S2 though, as I will be carrying it in my pocket. Thanks for the comparison.

Man, don't hate on the corkscrew! It may not be super utilitarian but for real, I've had to bust that sucker out a couple of times now at family gatherings and parties. The corkscrew has, as you like to say, "saved the day" more than once now. Also, you state in caption toward the end here that you're sticking with the S2 because the CS4 is heavier and doesn't have scissors. While it is indeed a bit heavier, it DOES have scissors! It has everything the S2 has plus an awl, saw, and of course the corkscrew which is the real star of the show! ;)

I've carried the S2 EDC pocket carry day in and day out since December 2011. Just lost it at a party last week and I'm trying to decide whether to go with another S2 or move up to the CS4... The Juice line is just incredible! I would never think of buying anything other than a Juice for an EDC multitool.

I like the Juice Xe6 but if I purchased the Leatherman Surge or Charge TTi, I wouldn't mind EDCing those larger multi-tools, especially with the bit kit set and bit drive extender. Heck, I would even buy the pocket clip for the Charge TTi and have the multi-tool in my pocket like a pocket knife. That's just me, though.

Ditch the Corkscrew?!? Nutn, that critical piece of gear saved me one time when I was on a picnic/date. I packed a bottle of wine, but forgot the corkscrew. CS4 to the rescue! Like Red Green used to say, "If the women don't find you handsome, at least they should find you handy!" When used in conjunction with the can/bottle opener it generates the proper leverage to remove just about any stubborn cork. I find it a superior design to the SAK corkscrew.

Hey Nutn, Long time viewer, first time comment. Through your subtle hinting, I have decided to come out of the fanny pack closet. I haven't worn one since 1993 but back then I _loved_ my pack. I have asthma and I have to lug around inhalers, so a fanny pack makes that so much more comfortable. Also, I like your U.S.K. advice about black gear and not camo. Great job, keep it up!

I think the only thing I've ever used my SAK's corkscrew for is fishing the string out of a pair of athletic shorts after pulling too hard on one end. Oh yeah, and to hold a Swiss Army Mini Screwdriver which stores neatly inside the corkscrew--it's perfect for tightening the hinges on your eyewear.

The CS4 has scissors, at least in the current models I've seen. I'm glad someone else said what I've thought for a while; the corkscrew isn't useful for that many situations. I'd rather see another tool in its place, like a good file or a serrated blade. I think if the CS4 had a file in place of the corkscrew it would be my perfect MT.

I've got the juice c2. Only one he didn't review, same as the s2 but with the corkscrew instead of the scissors. Have rarely ever "needed" scissors but can't tell you how often I've actually used the corkscrew. Actually bought it specifically for the corkscrew because of several gatherings where all we had was wine and nobody had a corkscrew. Just recently put it on my key chain for edc and hardly notice the extra weight.

I own an XE6 myself and got one for my grilfriend. I like it but it is bulky. The corkscrew is just unnecessary. I actually had to open a bottle with it once and it was a torture. Took me a long time to get it open without breaking the multitool. Main reason I got the XE6 over the S2 was the file which I think is handy to have. I don't even use it that much :D. But I EDC the thing all day, every day. My girlfriend actually uses hers more, but she doesn't carry a knife, so thats why.

The only complaint I have with my Juice XE6 is if you close either the straight blade or the serrated blade too hard, a small portion of the blade will be damaged by the interior of the multitool that sticks up a little bit.

I love my XE6. I have had it for years (I think I got mine the first year they were released) and I have carried it every day and actually use it every day. I keep looking to see if Leatherman comes out with something worth getting that would make me retire my XE6 but there just isn't anything out there that compares - for me anyway. I have considered the Wave but for the size and weight I'll stick with my XE6.

I feel that 3 flat heads are way too many, especially for a medium size (CS4) MT. So many other surfaces on that tool that could serve in a pinch. Small and medium are plenty for me, put some scissors, a saw or an awl in instead. Couldn't care less about a cork screw. How many French men are buying these things anyway?? Love the remnants in the teeth of the saw in your CS4.

I have gone to the heavier-duty, (less functions unfortunately) Leatherman Skeletool. Leatherman was really good though; they replaced Juice free of charge when I sent it to them. Excellent company and I own at least a dozen variations of their tools/knives (many due to your reviews).
