Squirt ES4/PS4 Owner's Club

[Andreas]

Everything has an owner's club these days so I though the PS4 and ES4 deserved one as well.



Some facts:
Weight: 54 grams/1.9oz
Size: 58 x 20 x 13mm
Colors: red, black, blue

Tools:
Needlenose pliers w/wire cutter (and wire strippers on ES4)
Scissors
Blade
Flathead screwdriver
Bottle opener
Wood/metal file
Phillips screwdriver

Supported tools:
Anything you can steal from another Squirt model including main tool scissors, awl etc.

User serviceable with a T6 Torx screwdriver (2x needed, one for each side) although some later models have come with rivets instead of pivots.

Can I mod it?
Yes, the PS4/ES4 is bery easy to mod as long as it has pivots. Yours truly have replaced the file with an awl and small flathead screwdriver from a P4. There is also a key mod on EDCforumsas well as a saw/serrated blade mod on backpackinglight (and probably others too).

Are there any accessories?
Not officially. LM makes a small sheath for the Micra that might work, and used to make one for the Squirts that you might be able to dig up somewhere. You can however add both a removable normal hex bit driver and a removable microbit driver to either the PS4 or ES4 very easily.

I don't have one   Where can I get one and how much is it?
Amazon have very decent prices in the US. For international customers I can recommend the eBay seller I got mine from. They are usually a lot more expensive locally, $100 in Norway and £35 in the UK for example.




So, who else has one, and do you actually use it?  

[Chako]

$100 in Norway! 

[Andreas]

Well, technically you can't get the PS4 in Norway - not out yet. A few places have the P4 and S4. 599 nok, $100. Did actually find a place that has it cheaper, "only" 449 NOK.

[Tsquare]

Wow, talk about inflated pricing.

[Andreas]

A shop I was in today had some Juice models on the display. The S2 was 899 NOK, the same with the C2, and the CS4 was 1099 NOK. Thats $145/177

speedogg138's review:

I have no problems with the scissors spring, so it looks like speedogg138's PS4 was made on an monday morning ....

[Agent X68]

I have got a PS4.

[Andreas]

Seriously, so few people care about this thing?   

Look at how mighty it is!

[Chako]

I have a few.

[Black Rose]

Mountain Equipment Co-op here in Canada now carries these (PS4).

Thinking of picking one of these up.

[Andreas]

Do it, so this thread gets some activity 

[Shorty66]

I recently ordered one from ebay and hope it has got screws.
I will post my mods here for sure

[TheRodfather]

I didn't realize we were supposed to post here... so.  I have a riveted(bleh) PS4 in black

[Nikos]

Got a red one from gunga a while back. Nice little tool that one. I keep it hanging off a Vic belt thingy and have been carrying it around ever since I got it. It doesn't see much use though, as the Spirit gets all the joy...

[mzil]

I bought one right when they came out so I have Torx screws instead of rivets. I love it. I don't really need another one, except for a mini Altoids box survival kit I am working on, but next time I am in a REI or an EMS store I think if I see a Torx model I'm just going to have to buy it (even though they don't have the best pricing).
