Clone of Leatherman Juice Xe6 on ebay

[detron]

I was goofing off on ebay and ran across this.  this sure looks like a straight copy of the Xe6, except maybe the scissor joint, the phillips driver shape, and the plier shape.

Clone of Juice Xe6

the weight and dimensions listed make it slightly larger than the Leatherman Xe6.

anyone handled one of these?  if so what are your thoughts

I did see a thread some time back about a plus sized juice clone. From memory it wasn't much chop.

Off topic: thank you detron.

I've seen both larger and smaller "copies" of LM Juices.  Neither were anywhere near the same quality as the original.

I have seen a few under the expedition brand in eastern Europe, but they were about the same price as Juice models.
 


The one you showed is cheap, may even be worth a try

I just came into possession of something exactly like this. Thought it looked exactly like a Juice, and wanted to learn more about it; it's branded "NSK". It's pretty hilariously bad, the only useable tool on it being the corkscrew I've never handled a LM Juice before, but I can't believe it would be anywhere near this in terms of quality.

At least the flatheads on this one won't draw blood.

wrong! 
This LM Juice (smaller than real) clone had the same problem with the drivers! Hard to pull out, sharp corners, extremely stiff, easily hurts and cuts open your fingers!!

So, they pretty much replicated the original, then?

How big is that in relation to an original?

smaller than Juice, bigger than Squirt.
Here's next to a Wenger

I know this is an old thread,  but since nobody ever did a side by side, I did one for y'all.
The XE6 has the crispness and precision of a Swiss Army Knife. The slightly bigger knockoff is really really crappy. Got mine for a few bucks at the fleamarket. The only good things about the fake are the saw, scissors, and blades. The drivers require another tool to get them out and the file might be ok fir just fingernails. The pliers are a joke and the cutter section won't cut a toothpick.
Pics. The XE6 is worth the large amount of extra money.

thank you for your insight.
I've also found my drivers painfully hard to get out, usually needing of another tool (the flatheads especially, the Phillips is still doable)   

the pliers feel indeed weak and flimsy. But then again, I've broken a real Juice's pliers so I won't take any chances with this knockoff. 

Unfortunately mine had none of the "good tools" you say (scissors or saw), but the blade, which came dull as a butter knife but sharpened quick and nice to shaving sharp. I reprofiled the main bevel too, it was easy peasy

Thank ya sir!
Good to know about the blade sharpening.  I bought the clone out of curiousity mainly, but it has seen a little pocket time.
I rarely carry tools like it or the xe6, so usually I can't say how the Juice holds up. Seems like a light duty tool though.
