Chinese Juice

[WH867]

I bid on a lot of 10 NTSA MTs because it was going cheap and I thought I spotted what might be a juice. The picture was bad enough that I couldnt even tell the color for sure so I took a chance.  Other than being about 10% bigger its very much like a juice.  It seems to be better quality than a lot of China MTs. Only real bad thing is the scissor spring.   I did get lucky though because 1 tool turned out to be  a red handled Mini Bear jaws which is very nice.

Thats a good lookin tool. You can call me old fashioned, but still nothing beats a genuine American made Leatherman MT.

Unless you are in California, then it's a "Good old fashioned 80% made in the USA multitool, with some components and/or raw materials sourced from Mexico!"

Looking at that Chinese Juice....wow do they ever go to great lengths trying to copy others.  


How is the build quality?

Quality looks to be good compared to most china tools I see. The blades all look well done.  The backsprings that work the scissor spring are very weak.  Seems like a good enough tool to use for a beater.

I just picked up one of those Chinese Juice copies myself yesterday. Odd that they made it 10% bigger than the Leatherman. Everything else though is painstakingly copied from the original, including dull-as-a-butter-knife can opener blade and heavily rounded tip on the awl.

Bob, I have that same one in blue! It even has the Protocol emblem on the side!

That always stuck me as odd too...

It's 10% larger because they traced around the original's parts with a fat magic marker to make their design....

Is this tool worth getting for gifts? If so where did you get it? Thanks.

Not unless you're gifting your worst enemy!   Seriously though, its not complete junk, but almost. I would get someone a cheap used Juice off from eBay before I'd get them this thing.

Thanks! I've been giving Kicks. So far everyone likes them. I guess I'll continue with the Kick.

That would be a wise choice. Not too expensive, and who wouldn't love getting a Leatherman as a gift?
