Updated! Leatherman Squirt Pouches
on: January 28, 2020, 03:34:22 PM
Hiya folks. About four years ago I first came to this forum as part of a long and ultimately fruitless search for a belt pouch for my Leatherman Squirt PS4. In the end I decided to make my own, and that took me down a path of learning leatherwork from the ground up and making my own stuff which has been one of the most fulfilling decisions I've ever made.

I've been selling these pouches for about two years now, and this year I've reworked them to offer some new options - they're now available in black, royal blue or chocolate brown, and as well as the "quick draw" open top version I've added a magnetic snap closure option.

You can find them on my Etsy shop uncommon.works and if you're interested, read about how I learned to make them (and a lot of other things) on my blog at https://silverknife.co.uk/makingthings/.

I hope you like them; if you've got any questions, or requests for variants or for custom pouches for other tools, hit me up! :mail:

(Oh, and to answer the most common question "Why would you need a belt pouch for a *pocket* multitool?"...I find the Squirt sits fine in jeans and other casual trousers but in thinner work slacks it feels awkward and makes an unsightly bulge (ladies...); on my belt it pretty much disappears, I've never had anyone comment on it but it's always there if I need it.)

Thanks for your time!  :hatsoff:

Great sheath.  I made one for my Squirt as well tho no where near as nice as yours  :salute:.  The Squirt on belt is a nice way to free up pocket space as well.  No digging around when you know exactly where your Squirt is.

Aw, thank you guys! And sure, I'm up for making a pouch for whatever tool you'd like to name :) I should note though that getting a really perfect fit without the tool present is not easy and the tolerances on these pouches are very fine (because of how the flaps line up), so you've got two options:

1. You can send me a good set of dimensions, and I'll make a wooden form as close as I can and work off that - I've done it before for a flip phone (https://silverknife.co.uk/makingthings/13-flip-2-leather-phone-holster/) and I'm told it was a good fit, but it takes extra time (so I'd have to charge more) and I can't guarantee it's perfectly snug.
2. You could ship me your Mini and I'll make you a perfect pouch for it  :D Since this would allow me to make a really good, tested pouch for a relatively niche tool that I could add to my shop, and you'd be taking on the cost and risk of shipping your precious (two ways), I'll say if I sold at least one more of them I'd refund you half the R&D cost.

My current price for a custom pouch this size is £20 for the R&D (£30 if I have to make a form) plus £22.50 for the pouch (£25 if you want a magnetic snap closure) plus shipping. If you fancy it, let me know!

Maybe there's an option number 3...

Someone here who owns a Mini could make a wooden form of it and send that one to you.

You end up with a nice mold for a Mini pouch and no Mini is handed over to the mercy of the Postal Services, win/win situation  :tu:.

Totally up for that! Anyone fancy having a go?  :popcorn:

(3D printing would work too, but bear in mind that it's not just the primary dimensions that matter - things like the rounded off edges of the tool make a surprising amount of difference to the circumference and the fit...)
