Squirt ES4/PS4 Owner's Club

[captain spaulding]

Ok another member here. I got a nib black ps4.

Welcome to the club. The PS4 is one of my favorite tools. 

[Flying Dutchman]

I need to get one of these sometime....I have a P4 but this looks more well equipped for what I need usually.

[New_World]

I've had the p4.......but now I finally got a ps4 on the way!
so light you'll forget its in your pocket.

I'm joining too! I've just received my Black Squirt Ps4 

At first glance it looks more fragile than the Micra/Style CS, btw

Funny you should mention that because my Black PS4 is on a field trip back to Oregon for a broken plier head.

I indeed have the feeling the pliers can break easily 


So, quick first impressions:

- the tools get out much easier than, say those of the Style CS, i.e. I'm not going to break nails there

- the pliers do feel more fragile than the scissors on the Micra/Style CS 

- the date code is kind of.. quite hidden %) I can only read the last two digits, 11 and there's one ... either 3 or 8 before that... i.e. it must have been produced either  in March or August last year ( )

- the scissors also feel very fragile, but, of course, they're for paper only, lol. Anyway, I think I'll love them Has anyone had problems with them, btw?

- the tool is much less "loos/flimsy/shaky" than my Micra... even I can say it doesn't move aaaaaaat all and snaps brilliantly.

- I like the feel of the finish

And I noticed something weirdly looking on the rivets. Do you think someone played with it or it could've come from the factory this way? [The two "bottom" rivets]









 

[DeezNittles]

I would guess that the strange rivets were probably just a misalignment at the factory.

Got a used Torx PS4 about two weeks ago, and it's awesome so far, including the file that everyone seems to dislike  I'll probably be replacing it with an awl from a P4 though. Anyone know any cool mods for the PS4?

Not so much of a "mod" per se, but I discovered a secret (that is, undocumented by Leatherman) storage hole for a straight pin, similar to the hole found on some SAKs:

I used my pin just the other day. I had an application where I needed to peel up the corner of a small sticker on a recessed metal surface. My first inclination was to use my knife tip, but having had those snap off on other knives I own when used as such, against metal, even nice ones like Spyderco,  I decided to not chance it and I used my pin instead. Worked like a charm.

I love this mod, that pin comes in really handy! I'm surprised leatherman hasn't caught on and started adding pins yet..

They would have to charge $5 more per tool to meet standard corporate pricing scales. Which would probably cut into sales.

[mzil]

And if they brazenly defy that, and don't raise the price by $5, what exactly happens?

[N_N_R]

Btw, are all dates so difficult to see? I mean, it's pretty obvious what's the mark, but still it was a little difficult to find in the beginning.
