Leatherman 78105003K Juice XE6-Pocket Multi-Tool, Thunder Purple Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've owned a lot of multitools over the years,have an original Leatherman that's about 20 years old at this point, and have many other Leatherman tools so I know their line fairly well. The Juice is in some ways the best concept of them all, but my tool has one big flaw. The springs in my model are more than a little weak. It wouldn't be so bad if it were for one of the small tools, but unfortunately it's for the larger knife blade and the Wharncliffe style blade. Usually the springs in Leatherman products are quite strong, but not in this case. Perhaps I just got one with a few weak springs. Also, the tools don't lock into place as on many multitool products these days.

Overall, though I like it and it has many pluses. The springs for the screwdriver are strong, though, and it snaps into place with a satisfying click. Tools fold from the inside and outside of the handle, so you get a few more smaller tools such as small screwdrivers. It's more compact than your typical multitool. As someone already mentioned, the knife blades appear to be hollow ground. (I'd actually prefer straight sides for added strength, but many people do like hollow ground blades for ease of sharpening and lightness). And the bright metallic colors are cool, except that this one isn't really Thunder Purple so much as dark passionate pink. Finally, the Juice comes in several different models with a greater or lesser number of tools, depending on your needs.

Except possibly for the Leatherman Wave, I think this is the best tool Leatherman has made yet.

Product Description:

The Juice folds up to a compact, easily transportable 3.2 inches when closed.
Leatherman's Juice Pocket Multitool

The Leatherman Juice Xe6 pocket multitool packs 16 powerful, secure and easily accessible implements into little more than 3 inches. With a slightly thicker chassis than the CS4 and KF4, and protected by Thunder Purple anodized aluminum handles, this model really has it all. Along with pliers, wire cutters and four screwdrivers, the XE6 contains a saw, awl and diamond-coated file -- and it provides a choice of straight or serrated knife blades. Serrated scissors, a corkscrew, and a can and bottle opener are also easily accessible, and the lanyard attachment keeps all these tools close at hand. Powerful but still compact, the XE6 will conquer most any task in a flash.
Key User Features

The integrated scissors are easily accessed with a nail nick, and the regular and hard-wire cutters are simple to lift out with their small notches. For easier removal of a cork, a notched assist is located at the end of the can/bottle opener. All you have to do is twist the corkscrew into a cork, then position the assist so the notch rests on the top edge of the bottle -- then lift the handles. It's as easy as opening a bottle of wine in your own kitchen.
The Juice XE6 features both straight and serrated knife blades made of 100-percent high-grade stainless steel. Highly corrosion-resistant, these blades are extremely easy to maintain -- just clean them, dry them, and occasionally re-oil them for years of long life and great service.

The Juice butterflies open to reveal a broad assortment of rugged, versatile tools.

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.
