Squirt ES4 comparable/replacement
on: February 02, 2022, 04:49:11 AM
Looking to add a multi-tool to live in my jeep, and something with the toolset of the ES4 would be perfect, but of course it's only available at crazy collector prices.


looking more for a working tool

Klein made one at one point, but that doesn't exist anymore either

I'm looking for the wirestripper, more than anything else, as I EDC a Surge already, and while I could just get a decent wirestripper, I'd be happy with a multitool version

Here is a cheap option:

The tools aren't great, but they are functional, and the wirestripper does work.

SOG has a wire stripper that you can buy separately. That could be a cool mod, if you could integrate that into your Surge!

the SOG bit was interesting until I realized it doesn't do 10 gauge (which is probably 50% of what i'd want to strip)

The Kilowatt is kinda piquing my interest,

  • Apparently it is possible to have too many tools;)

IIRC the performance of the SOG wire stripper component was somewhat lacklustre in the real world.
