Leatherman Juice S2: Gerber 22-01771 14-Function EVO Multi Tool Review

Average Reviews:
4.0 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)I do a a bit of tech work at my community college in maintaining their audio equipment.I'm also a hobbyist and a bass guitarist, and in all three areas the EVO has provided admirable service.I've had this for roughly six months now, using it daily for whatever task I can think of at the moment.

Pros: -Durable construction; only tool that's shown wear is the serrated blade (that I pretty much abuse to save the wickedly sharp plain edge anyway)
-Spring-loaded handles and component locks.Also, the scissors are spring-loaded for extra cutting power.
-More compact than most multi-tools, making it more convenient for day-to-day carry
-Broad selection of useful items, all-outboard components.

Cons: -Screwdriver tips could have been selected better; for medium-sized screws, the smaller one is too small to get a good grip and the larger one is too thick to even fit in the divot.But they still both have their uses.
-It's a bit difficult to get the smaller screwdriver out at first; nails are recommended.
-The sheath should have a different fastener mechanism; the Velcro strap on mine has recently worn down to the point where it will pop open with the slightest motion.And Gerber doesn't sell separate sheaths that fit this model (one downside to its size)

Overall: This is the first multi-tool I've owned, and I am quite happy with it (despite the sheath part.)If you work in a field that demands heavy repair work on a daily basis, you could go for something larger and even more robust.I highly recommend it to guitarists and any musician who does maintenance on their instruments, as well as theater techies, hobbyists, handymen, and anyone who wants a versatile and compact tool for day-to-day tasks.

Based on they"re knife counterparts, they exude style and feature all outboard components, meaning there is no need to open handles to access tools. Each component is locking, making these tools among the safest out there. And spring loaded handles reduce user fatigue during extended use.
