The charge is great. I was going to get the surge but the charge felt better in my hand. I use mine at work everyday. Sometimes I have to build or breakdown displays for my department. I never need to look for any other tool. It has everything I need. I even purchased the extra bits. They work well together. I think every woman should have one.

Leatherman 831136 Monarch 300 LED Flashlight, Black Review

Leatherman 831136 Monarch 300 LED Flashlight, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I don't know who makes the Monarch series for Leatherman, but they're doing a good job. The Monarchs are made in China and have a great output. The Monarch 300 uses one AAA battery (includes one Energizer alkaline) and can use alkaline, NiMH, or lithium. Light intensity and brightness is equal to my Streamlight MicroStream, but the Monarch 300 has a nice spill beam (the MicroStream has none). The battery lasts quite a while, and I've used mine for the last week or so every day for about 40 minutes each day with no loss in output. So the Monarchs are digitally regulated. It includes a polished stainless steel pocket clip and a polished stainless steel ring, both of which are removable, and makes carrying the light easy. The tailcap and bezel both unscrew if you want to play around with the insides. The only thing I would change is to have an adjustable focus; otherwise, the Monarch 300 is a great light for the cost.

Leatherman 934810 Premium Nylon Sheath for Wave Review

Leatherman 934810 Premium Nylon Sheath for Wave
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Okay for starters, I use this sheath daily.It carries my New Wave and I've tucked a bit card into the back pouch.That card came with the separately sold bit pack (which comes with 2 cards of the LM Bits and a sheath of it's own).Anyway, I upgraded from the leather for a number of reasons.Leather can rot and start to stink when it gets wet and it absorbs water, can shrink etc.I hadn't yet developed those problems with the leather pouch, but I didn't like the look and it was starting to wear a bit rough so it looked ragged.

This sheath uses velcro instead of a snap.I wish you could select the option of velcro, snap, or plastic clasp (like a belt buckle) for different uses.I suppose carrying more sheaths isn't really what they want, but velcro does wear out over time.

I also wish it carried the open pliers a bit better.When the pliers are fully engaged, the expandable sides accomodate it fairly well, but the top barely closes.It's even worse when carrying a bit card in the sheath.

The horizontal mounting belt loops are also very tight.You can't put a very big belt through it.This is limited by the size of the sheath, I understand, but do they have to be so tight you can barely get a thin belt through?Maybe this will loosen with time.

Other than those picking of nits, I have to say that this is a nice sheath, it's light weight, sturdy, very well constructed andit does it's job.It's a fair price if you can get it without shipping costs and I haven't looked back with any sort of regret at my leather sheath, that's for sure.It looks much more respectable for urban carry with nylon.

I called AllSparesTools (the listed source for these sheathes) to veryify that they had _exactly_ the sheath pictured on amazon.com.The man at AllSparesTools assured me repeatedly that they did.No such luck!The sheath I received is the same fairly disappointing model other reviewers complained about.It really is not nearly the quality of the old style (as pictured), although it does get the job done.

Update: Amazon has changed the picture to reflect the actual product.Be aware that the old "horizontal logo" sheathes were much higher quality than this current version.

Leatherman 81080003K Squirt S4 Storm Gray Multitool with Small Scissors Review

Leatherman 81080003K Squirt S4 Storm Gray Multitool with Small Scissors
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love this little Leatherman! I've had mine attached to my keys for about 3 years and it is still going strong. I have the "S4" version with the scissors instead of pliers. When I saw that someone said the Micra was a better value, I had to come to the defense of the Squirt. Take it from someone who knows, the Squirt far surpasses the value of the Micra. I had gone through 2 Micras before I found the Squirt.

--Scissors Spring--
Micra - After a month or two it was so gummed up that the scissors would stay shut and would not open on their own. This was main reason I went through them so fast.
Squirt - Still springing after years, much more force behind this one.

--Scissor Grip--
Micra - When doing some serious cutting, the sharp metal frame and tools will start to slice into your hand.
Squirt - Thicker frame to house the tools on the outside lessens so it will not hurt your hand.

--Paint--
Micra - Start to flake and chip off after a month or so. (If you had to get one, get the stainless steel finish)
Squirt - Storm gray paint has scratched off but no big flakes like the Micra. The paint is bound to go through some serious wear and tear when on a keychain so some scratches are to be expected.

--Size--
Micra - Small
Squirt - Smaller

If you were thinking of getting the Micra, spend the extra 5 bucks and get a knife that is 5 times better.

Product Description:

The Squirt folds down to a tight, easy-to-transport 2-1/4 inches. 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 Storm Gray model).
Expand your Squirt's capabilities with genuine Leatherman accessories like the Squirt protective sheath.

    Scissors

Leatherman 70101003K Juice C2 Pocket Multi-Tool, Inferno Red Review

Leatherman 70101003K Juice C2 Pocket Multi-Tool, Inferno Red
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is my favorite leatherman because it has all of the "essential" tools AND is still small.

If you move down in the lineup (think: Squirt P4) then you still get a nice piece, but you're missing critical tools like a corkscrew (ever tried to open a bottle of wine on travel?). And if you move up in the lineup then you begin to get less useful extraneous tools which make the unit much larger and heavier.

The juice sits right in the middle, the ideal balance of utility and size. Highly recommended.

Product Description:

The Juice closes to a tight, easily transportable 3-1/4 inches.
The Amazing Juice C2 Multitool

The Juice C2 is an extremely handy little devil with cool Inferno Red anodized aluminum handles. A true Leatherman, the C2 is well equipped with pliers, wire cutters and four screwdrivers; and it also comes with a corkscrew and a can and bottle opener. It's built on the smallest size chassis of all the Juice models. A lanyard attachment allows it to be easily attached to a backpack zipper, carabiner, or key chain, so you can take it anywhere, anytime, and it's ready to work or play.
Key User Features

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 C2 features straight 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.

Leatherman 831062 Serac 2-LED Flashlight Review

Leatherman 831062 Serac 2-LED Flashlight
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Excellent little flashlight. Fits nicely into elastic side "pocket" of the stock Leatherman Wave and Charge sheaths (both leather and nylon versions). Build quality and especially finish is above and beyond any other flashlight in sub-$50 category. About 1/3" longer than Mag Solitaire, it produces so much light that Solitaire's beam becomes completely invisible. As a matter of fact, it is more than 2 times brighter than my previous EDC flashlight, a Surefire Executive Elite E1E (current price of E1E is $79).

Now, a few quick facts for the flashlight nuts.

- Beam has a relatively smooth spill with a well defined hotspot. As a matter of fact, there is a ring shaped shadow around a hotspot.

- Some artifacts , but barely noticeable. That has to be expected in such inexpensive light.

- Hotspot is pretty narrow, nearly 1o, so this light has an amazing throw for its size. With this light, I can easily count stripes on a raccoon's tail from 20 yards!

- Economy mode is flickery, which is expected. However, since the economy mode had to have so much less lumen output than a high power mode, flicker frequency is much lower than I expected. No flicker on high power, which is also expected.

- If you turn in on, off and then on again, it works just like when you turn it on and tap (high power).

- No way to turn it on/off momentarily without full press of a button, so I do not recommend it as a handgun companion light.
