Amazon.com Review
Leatherman's Squirt P4 is an amazingly compact multitool, measuring a mere 2-1/4 inches in length and weighing less than 2 ounces. But for such a tiny unit, the Squirt packs a lot of tough, functional tools--needle-nose pliers, a straight knife, a file, a bottle opener, wire cutters, an awl, and three screwdrivers. All the tools are made of high-grade stainless steel and come protected and housed within colorful anodized handles. The tool butterflies open to access the spring-action pliers; all the other tools are easily accessed from the outside of the Squirt and snap readily into place. A lanyard attachment makes it easy to fasten the Squirt to a key ring. Leatherman also covers this mighty little guy with a 25-year warranty. --Jon Groebner

From the Manufacturer
The first miniature pliers multi-tool tough enough to be a Leatherman. Don't be fooled by its size - the Squirt P4 can handle big jobs and still fits into tiny spaces.

Versatile, plus looks good too!
I have an SOG mini, Micra, Buckknife mini, Victorinox mini and while each has their strong points the SOG was by far the best. That is, until I got the Squirt P4. Well made, the matte finish is silky to the touch, the tools snick out nicely, the spring action on the pliers gives just enough tension and return..it just can't be beat. All edges while tool is closed are nicely turned and rounded and while the toughness/durability of the anodized finish might be suspect compared with the stainless steel of the SOG and Micra, it does look nice. Well worth the price. SHop around, they range from $26 to $39. A good buy even at $39!

a most-helpful item.
If you do not own a leatherman tool ... well then you do not know what you are missing. This successor to the Swiss Army Knife has to be one of the most helpful items you can buy.

Note: It is now available in a multitude of colors ... I would recommend getting the brightest color that you can (based on where it will be used most) that way it will not blend into the background if dropped ... and will be much harder to misplace.

Leatherman gets it right!
The Squirt is not perfect, but it's a heck of a lot closer to being perfect than anything else I've tried. Of course, this only reflects my personal preferences.

Most people have handled a Leatherman Micra, so let's compare this to the Micra to get an idea of its size and shape. If you place the hinge end of both devices on a flat surface, the Squirt only reaches to the bottom of the Micra's opening end rivets. This makes it about 3/8" shorter than the Micra. The widths are so similar that they may as well be identical. The Squirt is a little thicker, though, and the difference is about 1/8".

The finish on the Squirt, both the anodized aluminum and the stainless components, is much better than that on the Micra. The anodized aluminum is really eye-catching, though I'm certain it will get nicked and scratched over time. Anodized finishes, however, do not peel like paint or plating. The metal edges of the Squirt (other than the knife blade) are more rounded, as are the ends of the tool when closed.

So how does it work? Very well. While it does not have all of the geegaws that some pocket multi-tools do, it has the ones I want. Plus, the quality of fit and finish for the tools is superior. None of the blades, including the pliers, wiggles a bit. Plus, all the blades fold out without having to open the pliers, a weakness with many small multi-tools. Let's look at the tools:

The pliers are something I MUST have. Some people prefer scissors (or both) and fortunately there is a scissors version of this unit called the S4. The blades are not identical on the S4, but they are pretty similar. The P4's pliers are a marvel. They are much longer, and significantly narrower, than the pliers on a Victorinox Bear Jaws. This makes them ideal for manipulating wire, reaching jumpers on a motherboard, and yanking things out of narrow places. They can function as tweezers, negating the need for the Micra's fold-out tweezers. They are also strong enough to do real work, like cutting heavy wire and turning moderately-sized nuts and bolts. The extra length gives them superior leverage. These pliers are also infinitely superior to the flimsy fold-out pliers found on many other multi-tools, particularly the Swiss Army Knives.

The knife blade is 1-5/8" when extended. The knife's shape is standard and there no serrations. Frankly, I hate serrations because I often use my pocket knife to open envelopes, something serrated blades do not do well.

The screwdrivers, file and awl fold out from opposite ends. This means that you have only a single blade on either side and at both ends of the knife. The blades are on both sides of each "backbone" for the pliers, meaning you do not get the wiggle common to a tool that has multiple fold-out blades on each rivet or screw. This makes a BIG difference in the strength.

The screwdrivers are very useful. There's a small straight screwdriver (just the right size for my glasses,) a medium straight screwdriver, and a flat phillips driver. They are all very solid and work well. The awl is about 7/8" long and very strong. Some people don't care for the awl, but I use mine all the time. The file is absolutely terrific. The fine side will do fingernails in a second, while the coarse side can easily handle wood, metals and plastic. It is not made of SS, but is constructed just like a normal file. I absolutely had to have a REAL file, not one of those SS "roughened" surfaces that are passed off in other tools.

In summary, an absolutely beautiful work of multi-tool art. If you liked the Bear Jaws or the Micra, this is smaller, better feeling, and better constructed. Leatherman gets an A+ for this baby!
