Got mine today from the group buy (Thanks Travis!). I got the black version. It feels solid but the implements are hard to get out. Going to lube it up and edc it for a while before I'll pass judgement.

I bought my Dime yesterday and really like it. I would love to put the file/flat driver
from the PS4 in the Dime, package opener, spot. That would be perfect!

I never thought that I'd be looking at a Gerber tool, but I've got to try this one out. One last chance, Gerber!   >:D   :D

I like the Dime overall, and while it is nowhere near the level of the PS4 in quality, it has a more useful set of implements, IMO.

I still like the Dime better than the PS4, even after all this time.

The Dime is a superb little tool. Carried mine (or one of them  ::) ) again today  :)
I don't have a PS4, but I'd put the quality of all three of my Dimes as higher than both my P4s ... and a better too selection than the PS4 too.

I still like the P4 for the awl and mini driver, and if they'd kept those over the file I'd definitely have some PS4s ... but then I might not have gotten the excellent Dime  :-\

I never owned a PS4 or P4.  I do think the Dime is a great little tool, though.  It sees regular keychain time.  :tu:

I've never been able to get excited over the Squirts- they always struck me as a poor replacement for the Micra.

Totally agree, the P4 is much higher quality and durability IMO.  I'm mostly curious to know how the dime compares to that as I already tried a PS4 and didnt like it at all.  I also found the gerber clutch to be extremely poor on quality.

Gerber is hit and miss with their quality. One more chance guys!   :D

The clutch I have is not very good, drivers badly ground. I keep meaning to get a dime but don't want to ditch the crossgrip since I really like its pliers, and don't like the package opener on dime (or on any other tool).

I agree with you there. The package opener is just stupid!   ::)  That's what a knife blade is for.   :D

 Def:  :D  :D For $20 I couldn't pass up a Wingman.

I bought the Gerber Dime and as usual I find the quality to be fair at best. The scissors are a joke and the wire cutters are really bad. I like the overall look of the tool and I love the shape of the knife blade, but I just can't recommend anyone spending their hard earned money one one. Makes me love my LM P4's even more than I already did.   :tu:
