Leatherman Juice S2

I have an orange leatherman juice S2 I’ve carried for over 10 years. It’s small, it’s light, it has great scissors. I tied a small lanyard with paracord and it’s just become part of of my kit. It’s crazy how much I’ve used it over the time and the fact it’s so small makes it an easy fit in my pocket.

Different tools for different people. But I'll say this: I got a Victorinox Deluxe Tinker when I lost my Leatherman Juice S2 (FYI, a discontinued model).

After a while searching I believe that the best friction folding bladed (slightly under 3 inches) multi tool is actually the Leatherman Juice S2. Slightly smaller size but enough to work with / grip, good needle nose pliers and the nicest scissors I've seen on a multi-tool. Blade is great and comes razor sharp out of the box. Also inexpensive got mine on sale for 30 something quid (usually around £50?).

I would like to see them adapt that to the standard bit exchanger, though. I'm not crazy about the non-locking interior tools on a tool of that size. It may in fact be a non-issue in actual use, but locking tools are a big selling point for me on a tool that I'm going to be using for medium to heavy duty tasks. My Juice S2's slip joint tools have never disjointed in use, but that could be because I use my Wave when I suspect I'll be using a multitool a little harder.
