Finally, a Multi-Tool for Wine Lovers [Posted on 2001-11-16]
I already have a Leatherman Wave, always at the ready in it's handy belt sheath. I didn't need another tool with over a dozen functions, but I didn't have one with a wine opener, yet. Enter the C2 Inferno. It's easily carried in the pockets of pants or a sport jacket, ready to slice cheese and fruit or open a vintage bottle of wine. The blade is sharp and cuts easily through the seals on wine bottles. The corkscrew is sharp and sturdy and, with the fulcrum blade, functions just as well as a "French Knife," which almost every waiter in fine restaurants carries. The pliers and screwdrivers are just a bonus. Whether you're entertaining at home or on a romantic picnic in the countryside, you'll be impressed with this tool. Your date will be impressed with your ability to provide a snack and refreshments with one simple tool. I guess you might say that this is the "Leatherman for Lovers." Get the Inferno and begin to enjoy life!
Good Looks, good pliers, but overall, a little disappointing [Posted on 2002-09-18]
I bought the "juice" on Leatherman's reputation, before actually handling it in a store. The first time I tried to flip out the screwdriver blades, I nicked my thumb and actually drew blood. OUCH! After a few tries, I figured out how to get them out safely, but I wish I had a tutor before hand. Another gadget buddy bought one too and brought his in to work to show me. He also showed me his bloody thumb - so it wasn't just me. All is not bad. The pliers are strong. The corkscrew actually works well (tried it on a tough cork). The philips head screwdriver blade is strong and useful. The wirecutters work well too. The basic knife blade is just the right size to cut a NY bagel - wish it locked in place for safety. All in all, it needs a little refinement to be "best in class" but it's getting close. Try it in a store first and be careful not to get nicked. As with all "edged" tools, for safety, exercise extra care when handling.
good tool [Posted on 2002-09-25]
i like it as much as a swiss army knife. this one doesn't have scissors, so you might want to get one of the fancier in the leatherman juice series. looks good, i'm just getting to know it.
A must-have tool at your next picnic! [Posted on 2005-02-03]
A note on the corkscrew: While the corkscrew and assist work very well and better than any corkscrew-only design I've ever seen, you do need to take a minor bit of care to line up the assist's single "leg" dead-center on the bottle's neck or it will slide off. A regular "waiter's friend" has a two-legged assist that's self-centering, for comparison. But, a waiter's friend won't have a blade that's nearly as sharp as this one, not to mention it won't have pliers or screwdrivers. The screw works equally well in real cork and the new plastic corks.
The "3-D" Phillips driver blade is a joy compared to the totally flat wanna-be imitations of screwdrivers I've seen on other pocket tools. It's multi-talented in that it fits both #1 and #2 screws.
All in all, this is yet another fantastic creation from Tim Leatherman. This one's earned a permanent place on my keyring.
