Isn't it red?
Well if there's a pink one, I think it's a lovely choice.
The only reason I don't have a squirt is that I have a faithful micra; if I didn't, or if somebody stole mine (I'd hunt them down!) I'd get a squirt. Whichever the one with scissors is, that is, because I have a bigger leatherman also.
I think the scissors one is much more useful in general, but especially for a woman. If she needs pliers, the reality is she'll call you.

There is indeed a pink one- it's called the Lady Leatherman.

If the color is right, and the tools are right, then I think you may just manage to pull yourself out of the doghouse a little bit by getting her one!  :D

Hi,

There are actuaslly two versions of the pink Squirt.  One is marked "Lady Leatherman" and the other is just marked "Leatherman".  Both are neat.

I thought there was two, but for the life of me I couldn't remember the difference!  Thanks for filling in the blanks Joe! :D

I'd agree with that! 

What you need to do is to get enough multitools that she can't tell the difference- that way when you add one more she'll never know! :D

Great idea but the one sticking point is the terrible police wages it would take me to long to reach that point she would have killed me well prior

You guys might appreciate these.  ;)

Difference between Men and Women

NICKNAMES
If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah.
If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes.

EATING OUT
When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though the total bill is only $35.  None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.
When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.

MONEY
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.

BATHROOMS
A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel.
The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.

ARGUMENTS
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

FUTURE
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

SUCCESS
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

MARRIAGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.

DRESSING UP
A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail
A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.

NATURAL
Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

OFFSPRING
A woman knows all about her children.  She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

FINALLY
A married man should forget his mistakes, because there's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

My wife just got the Powder Pink Squirt S4 last week and loves it.  To me the S4 is a much better choice for a woman since the scissors, tweezers and nail file are on it.  I've never heard of the "Lady Leatherman" deal.  I've got both a pink S4 and P4 in front of me right now and they both just say "Leatherman".  At one time did they say "Lady" in front of "Leatherman".  That would have been pretty cool I suppose.  Dang I need to pay attention more.

Here's a pic of the Lady Leatherman pair. Joe told me about them awhile ago. They were a special run for Shepard Hills.

Hi,

Shephard Hill's website still show the "lady Leatherman"-marked pink Squirts.  If you are interested, you might want to call them at 1-800-727-4643 to verify they still have them with the "Lady Leatherman"marking.

I got my wife a pink S4 for her last birthday. She likes it a lot, and it stays on her keys. :) When I got to stop in at the LM factory store, I saw some unique purple P4s (like the XE6). I thought about getting her one of those, but I know she likes the scissors a lot more than pliers...

Thanks Joe

I just called to confirm that they had the S4 Lady Leatherman in stock. It was in stock. The price is $29.99 and with shipping the total was $35.45.

I didn't think to ask about the P4.

Just a follow up note:

The Lady Leatherman arrived today.

It was in a box that was about 10"x12"x8". Lots of peanuts and a Case knives brochure. It seemed like a pretty big box for a S4, but it was definitily well packed.

It's not mine, I bought it for a coworker.

I'm not into the really small tools except for the Leatherman Micra. I haven't tried the P4 or the S4. I've always thought the pliers on the P4 were to small for my use.

I carried a Juice XE6 for about a year and it worked OK, but sometimes it wasn't quite big enough for the job and I quit using it after the first time one of the screwdrivers folded up while I was using it. I had a neat setup. I used two RipOffs clip on holsters that were designed for the Surefire E1E. I carried a ARC LSHP flashlight in one and the XE6 in the other. I EDC a BO Charge Ti.

I never tried the S4 because I've been completely satisfied with the Micra. I love the Micra and have had one on my keyring for years. I've given the Micra to my kids and grandkids. My wife even carries a Micra and a Spirit etc.etc. and she says her purse is too heavy. I don't make her carry them and I offered to get her a lighter tool, but she doesn't want me to spend any money on multi-tools for her. I guess that means I can spend the money on the ones I want.
