Leatherman's Squirt S4: Small but Mighty

When it comes to convenience, it's tough to beat the Squirt S4. This multitool is ultra-compact, super tough, and it weighs just two ounces -- making it the perfect tool to pop into that backpack or slip into those slacks. And for such a tiny unit, the Squirt really packs a lot of tough, functional tools for any occasion. Take it on the road, stuff it into a pocket, throw it in the glove compartment, or take it camping. This little tool is ready to work or play.

Most of the tools are accessible from the outside for ease of operation, and the anodized aluminum handles offer rugged yet lightweight protection for decades of use. Micro-serrations help the scissors grip and cut even fine materials, and other features -- tweezers, knife, screwdrivers and more -- are all available without opening the tool. And at a mere 2-1/4 inches, this zippy little number does a great job of staying out of the way until you need it. A handy lanyard attachment hooks easily to a loop on your backpack or key ring.

Key User Features

The central feature of the Squirt, the scissors, is accessed by rotating the handles open in a quick, easy butterfly maneuver, and the blades can be lifted out of the handle using the nail nicks. Just rotate the blades out until they're fully extended. The Squirt's blades are 100-percent high-grade stainless steel, and it can be cleaned, dried, and re-oiled periodically -- which is recommended, especially after it's used in a damp environment.

The Squirt S4 also includes a 1-1/2-inch ruler. This is located on the back side of the nail file/cleaner, and it uses the tip of the blade as the zero point.

Small enough to stash anywhere, the Squirt has removable tweezers (Glacier Blue model depicted; this listing is for the Inferno Red model).

The Leatherman Tool Group and its History of Quality

In 1975, Leatherman Tool Group founder Tim Leatherman was inspired by leaky pipes and a cranky car on a budget trip to Europe -- and thus the idea for his first pocket survival tool was conceived. Since then, Leatherman has become an internationally recognized company with hundreds of employees and a wide variety of durable, versatile, stylish products. Created with bold designs and truly rugged construction, Leatherman products are a perfect addition for tool kits, emergency sets, and glove compartments everywhere.

This review is from: Leatherman 81030003K Squirt S4 Inferno Multitool with Small Scissors (Tools & Home Improvement)

I've had a Squirt for a number of years and I just love it. Originally I got it mostly to cut beading wire with -- coated multi-strand stuff like SoftFlex and Beadalon that I didn't like using my scissors on. It does a good job of that, but it is good for so much more! That little blade is a staple of our everyday life; the kids are always asking to use it for a minute, and with its bright red color it's a little harder to lose than some things. I also use the curved nail cleaner/ruler a lot to open boxes, as a safer way to rip tape than with a sharp blade.

I'm not crazy about the actual knife, it seems a bit small and tends to close, to me it is more a hazard than otherwise, but I don't need it much. What I do wish it had was a true awl. It does have a small screwdriver, but for picking apart tight knots (as in shoelaces, doll's necks, necklaces, packages, and so on) one really needs the point of an awl, not the cutting blade of even a small screwdriver.

But almost for the sturdy scissors alone, this pocket tool is worth its weight in gold. I wish it came with a little card that said how to mail it in for sharpening though.

And I wish it had an awl.

But I'm glad I have it!

Thanks for reading. Hope this helped.

I have used the Leatherman Micra for years, and thought it was time for a change. The squirt is more money, but very handy, especially now because you don't have to open the scissors to get at the tools.

I've been carrying a Leatherman Squirt S4 for about 5 years. During that time I've lost two of them. When that sad day comes, I always immediately replace it.

Don't let the size fool you. If you're looking for a really useful little tool that is also unobtrusive, you will not go wrong with the S4. It is perfect for handling those daily little office and home chores. 90% of the time, I reach for the scissors. They operate smoothly and cut well. The actual knife blade is small, but works well enough considering the size and it ideal for cutting tape on a mail package. The tweezers can be used to remove that occassional splinter.

I did make the mistake of buying a Micra at one point. The S4 is a much more refined and useful tool. The S4 has nice smooth edges for comfortable carry and you can use the tools without opening the scissors. In contrast, the Micra has rough edges and awkward functional design.
