Super-compact multi-tool with great practical functionality!
I've owned a lot of multi-tools over the years, starting with the original Leatherman multi-tool back in the 1980s. Back then I was a photographer, and there was always something that I needed to tighten down - so the variety of screwdriver blades and especially the pliers were incredibly handy. I also found it great for doing odd fix-it jobs around the house without having to take the time to go to the workbench. But the tool was large - longer than my longest finger, more than an inch across, and probably 5/8" thick or so. It took up a lot of room in my pocket.
Later I went to the Leatherman Juice, which was smaller - still had the pliers, and the variety of screwdriver blades. That one got loaned out and never returned. I've used a lot of other brands since then, never finding the right blend of tools and small size.
Until now. I LOVE this thing! Nowadays I am doing a lot of fine engineering projects, and so the mini-pliers are perfect. It has a straight and phillips screwdriver, a file - and even a tiny pair of scissors. In terms of size, is smaller than the electronic remote for my car. It EASILY fits in my pocket and disappears among my keys and change. In fact, it's small enough to be a keychain - although I think using it with keys attached would be problematic. The "knife" part of the tool has never been a big item for me, but this one is great for opening boxes and stuff like that. Plenty sharp.
But I have now found my dream tool. I take it everywhere to give me tools to tackle fine projects without carrying a bulky hunk of metal in my pocket. Now that I have this one, I don't think I'll ever go back to anything else. And, should it get lost or misplaced, I'll definitely look for a different SQUIRT. Maybe I'll go crazy and get a red one next time...
