leatherman juice handles thickness
on: May 12, 2011, 09:13:54 PM
I got a used, but in reasonable condition, Juice S2 and one of its handles seems about 1/2mm thicker than the other.
It looks like this extra thickness is justified, since that side, the one that houses the scissors appears to have more tools in it, there does not seem to be a gap anywhere, like the scales have been damaged.

Is this normal or has it been bend at some point?

It functions OK.

It's a Juice thing.  :tu:

It's more noticeable in some models than others. My S2 is the same way.

Amongst the Juice Series, only the Kf4 has even handle thickness.

Whilst the SC2 model must surely be the worst ::)




That being said DKS, the mismatched handles are nothing to be concerned about and really don't hurt anything :)
In order to be certain of having the right tool for every job.........one must first acquire a lot of tools

Many thanks to all, I am quite happy with it, but it is my first juice and the first multitool I had with handles of differing thickness, so I thought I might ask first before I take a hammer to it, trying to make the handles even.  :D

Apart from the fact that it has 3 flat screwdrivers, whereas they could have replaced one with a small file, it is a surprisingly good package.  :salute:

It's also interesting to note how they've "hidden" that issue in the newer Squirts. PS4 handles, for example, are narrower on the knife side, but the scales on that side are slightly tapered in a design-ish way. ;)
