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 · **Reply #151 on:** November 08, 2011, 06:00:06 PM

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.

N_N_R · **Reply #154 on:** May 11, 2012, 01:02:56 PM

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 · **Reply #156 on:** May 11, 2012, 11:02:08 PM

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?

mzil · **Reply #158 on:** May 12, 2012, 06:26:24 AM

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:

http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,23343.msg429343.html#msg429343

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..

chris777 · **Reply #161 on:** May 16, 2012, 06:31:33 AM

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

mzil · **Reply #162 on:** May 16, 2012, 05:01:36 PM

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

N_N_R · **Reply #163 on:** May 18, 2012, 01:46:58 PM

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.

Gareth · **Reply #164 on:** May 18, 2012, 11:19:05 PM

Mine is exactly the same.

Very nice, Hammer!

How "old" are yours?

Metropolicity · **Reply #169 on:** May 26, 2012, 07:37:45 AM

Count me in!

I matched my PS4, ES4 and my specially modified Torx screw PS4 with S4 Scissors. A small Sanrenmu 604 completes my small electronics working set.

Why would I want the S4 scissors when I already have two pairs of scissors on the PS4 chassis? they are WAY too small and no leverage.

jwh · **Reply #170 on:** May 29, 2012, 12:01:30 AM

I'm in.

I like this little tool as well as my lil Style CS.

GNandGS · **Reply #172 on:** September 07, 2012, 12:09:45 PM

Yup, gonna bring back an old thread!

Been carrying and using nearly every day the LM Radio Shack (like an E4) until I sent it in for warranty work. The blade was missing the tip and oddly one corner of the large flat blade screwdriver. Everything worked but after nearly 10 years I decided to send it in for a refresh.

As I am no longer near the US, and with no international repair, what they do is replace with equiv model. I'm very ok with that as a policy and the of picking up my new Squirt ES4 today is no issue. In the RS model I really liked the small flat screwdriver and the 3D phillips worked great. Not sure if having scissors will make up for not having them. (A lot of topics praise scissors, any reason I'm missing?)

Regret not taking pics of my old one but here is the new one. 2010 stamping, no rivets. Glad I didn't buy here! RM199 isn't cheap.

Gareth · **Reply #173 on:** September 07, 2012, 08:43:47 PM

welcome to the Club.

I think it is a shame that they didn't bring over the 3D Phillips as well, but the flat one is...OK. Congratulations on getting a first production run with the torx screws rather than the rivets.

GNandGS · **Reply #174 on:** September 08, 2012, 03:32:20 AM

Thanks. I hadn't actually considered mods before but now that the option presents itself I feel pretty good about it... if I find no use for scissors I might pick up a used unit for parts. No hurry though. I'll give the scissors a chance since so many seem to prefer having them.

Glad you understood my rambling! Looks like at least part of that got garbled up during an edit.

N_N_R · **Reply #175 on:** September 08, 2012, 08:09:09 AM

I love the Squirts!

I'm sure you'll find use for the scissors, they're a treasure to have

Mistaken PS4

Gareth · **Reply #178 on:** October 21, 2012, 11:17:51 PM

Wow, that's an unusual mistake.

Very cool and well worth keeping hold of.

Awl and small flat screwdriver?
