Hope they replace it with something similar in size and capability and importantly uk legal.
I don't keep my finger on the pulse
Never had a Juice before but this thread prompted me to have a look again.I now have a SC2 on the way that I got for $28 (Image removed from quote.)
A mini PST would be great! Unfortunately I don't see Leatherman doing anything sensible like that anymore
I thought this thread was about the Juice. The Pulse was retired in 2004
I haven't kept up with Leatherman these days. I didn't like how they treated me last time I attempted to communicate with them in regards to selling me a few new tools for my collection (I tried to get one of everything back then). After I got the rub off because I was a pesky foreigner, I just haven't kept up with the Leatherman collection for the past few years. I was a bit surprised that the whole Juice lineup is now toast. Mind you, I just did a visit at their official US web site and found that they don't keep a comprehensive retired tool section these days either. A shame that as Leatherman once catered to collectors.
Its amazing that after all my exploration of multitools...i come to the conclusion that the original PST is still the best tool in existence. Gram for gram the most tool dense plier based multitool every built.
Here is my ode to the Juice...in photos.IMG_8653A by Chako, on FlickrIMG_8654A by Chako, on FlickrIMG_8655A by Chako, on FlickrYeah...too bad with the way that Leatherman is going these days. For years, I actively tried to collect one of everything Leatherman. Then Julie left the company, and a paradigm shift in company policy made exporting any Leathermans from US retailers practically impossible for me...and voila...not so hot for Leatherman these days. Reason why I haven't sourced any of the Free lineup, etc...
Kinda jealous of your collection of Juices there - Not gonna lie. And this is coming from not-a-collector. Even thought I'm a SAK nut, I dont particularly enjoy looking at my "collection" of red and black knives. Theres something about the Juice though... I think I need to get at least one
Honestly I would get one while you can. If it were me I'd look for a pre-2014 (long blade) S2 or CS4 for the most SAK-like Juice.
Thanks for the pro tip. I was looking at the ones with the textured scales, just because I'm apparently going emo
Well they'll be easier to get I'm sure. I just don't like the look of the stubby blade that was, IIRC, designed for a TSA requirement that never happened. However there is nothing inherently wrong with them compared to the older versions.
