Very Impressive Mini Multitool [Posted on 2007-12-15] I'm seldom impressed enough with a product to compel me to write a review; but Leatherman certainly deserves some praise for their Squirt. I'm amazed that there are so many useful tools in such a small package. I wanted a small lightweight multitool for backpacking, and the squirt fit the bill perfectly - only 2 ounces! Despite it's small stature the Squirt is no wimp as the tools perform admirably.
I haven't used the Squirt a lot yet, so I can't comment on the long term reliability and performance; for it's size though it seems quite robust.
Leatherman seems to really have their act together. Very smart of them to offer this in various colors and configurations (you have your choice of the model with scissors or pliers).
Some reviewers that have criticisms about this tool seem to forget that the Squirt is a mere 2 ounce micro tool (about the weight of $2 worth of quarters), and you cannot expect it to have all of the features or strength of a full size. Some are upset that the Squirt is so small and have unfairly downgraded its rating as a result. The dimensions are clearly stated in the description, so I don't know how anyone can be surprised by its size. It's a keychain size tool, so don't expect to carve out a Mt. Rushmore with the knife!
The Squirt is 2 ounce engineering marvel. I liked it so much that I just bought another one as a gift.

Lots of Utility in a Little Package [Posted on 2007-12-20] This is a great little gadget. First of all, all of the utilities are high-quality. The screwdrivers, file, and pliers are durable and functional (sorry, no fish scalers on this product).
Second, I would prefer a bit longer blade on the knife, but it holds an edge, and comes in handy.
This is a great gift for just about anyone. We keep one in our car and it comes in handy all the time. I would purchase this item again in a heartbeat.
Great keychain "tool" [Posted on 2008-01-08] I've gotten more use out of these things than you could imagine. They are good tools, I've broken 3 already though, that's why it only gets 4 stars. I probably use them for more than they are able to handle. I haven't tried to send them back to leatherman yet for a repair. I think they have a lifetime warranty so I might try that out.
a great little pocket knife [Posted on 2008-01-23] Just a great little knife. The quality of the build and the spring loading of this very useful pocket knife are very high. I find it useful around the house and work without being too large to carry around as my "regular" sized leatherman.
Ideal keychain tool... [Posted on 2008-02-14] I bought a Swiss-tech multitool in addition to the leatherman, as I couldn't initially decide on one. The leatherman is clearly superior. It feels very well made; the pliers really work great. As stated, there isn't a dedicated philips blade, though the straight screwdrivers double to work in philips screws. They'll get the job done in most cases. The only minor gripe I have is that there may be too much in there; I really only need a knife, 1 philips/straight screwdriver, and the pliers. I think that the pliers take up much of the bulk though, so eliminating these other tools wouldn't save much space/weight. If you're concerned about size/weight, and don't need the pliers, you're probably better off with something else (the Utili-key is great); otherwise, the squirt is a nearly perfect keychain tool.
