I totally agree. I have an S2 a C2 and am fortunate to also own a Juice Pro. The Pro I dont carry because it has sentimental value and frankly is nowadays too valuable to risk losing. As an IT contractor the S2 is a fantastic UK legal tool to carry in a backpack when out and about. Such a shame it is no longer available new.
I sometimes think the choices companies make is very strange… Juice was such a great tool! Can’t understand why it’s gone, especially for folks like us in the UK where non-locking blades are needed. Our choices are quite limited aren’t they really.
Honestly, victorinox should roll out an item like this. Aside from the SOG PowerPint/PowerLitre.. (Kind of) there is a Juice sized hole in the Multitool landscape.
What's the difference between pint and liter in terms of the multi tools? I agree that there the main tools to compare to Juices... 4-5 ounces competes with a lot of larger pocket knives. Why Leatherman discontinued the Juice is a mystery to me.
The edge of the can opener is sharp enough to spark a ferro rod as well. It's my UK EDC along with a Lumentop 2 torch. If I need anything more, it's time to go and get some tools, but it's a fab little tool.
Yeah absolutely brilliant little tool! Can’t understand why Leatherman discontinue so many of the small tools I love (like the Squirt PS4 - that was a great little tool too)!?
@@accoutrements4469 I bought my kid a Squirt, and was impressed by size/usefulness. Leatherman are losing the plot perhaps. The thing is, the Gerber and others just aren't as good at that form factor
Yeah I’ve found Gerber stuff to be nowhere near as good as Leatherman. It is cheaper I suppose. Looks to be some interesting stuff coming out of China at the moment though - seen some promising reviews on TH-cam of Nextool, etc
I still carry my Juice S2. I purchased one of the CS4s in November as well. It's not as compact as the S2, but would be an adequate replacement if my S2 ever broke or was lost. I reached out to Leatherman about a year ago to see if they have plans to bring back the Juice, they of course said no. It makes absolutely no sense to me, the Juice has received nothing but stellar reviews for the lifetime of the product line. My suspicion is that it didn't have the profit margin that some of their other product lines achieve.
I can only think that must be the case - about the profit margins. Such a shame - such a brilliant range of tools. All my favourite stuff seems to get discontinued… 😞
I purchased some of the last of the CS4s and XE6 they released in November. I've been a fan of Leatherman for years. This is my first introduction to the Juice. I like it for around the house and as a secondary carry. I pruned the Christmas tree, open mail, cheese and meats from the holidays and light duty tasks. I love the Rev, the Wave, Super Tool 300 and Surge too. The only Leatherman I'm not fond of is the Micra. Its personally too small for my liking.
Leatherman makes some absolutely fantastic tools, I struggle to justify the bulk of them though (for civilian type situations at least) and in the uk we always have to be careful carrying them when out in public due to the strict knife laws. Certainly not saying they’re not great tools though! Glad you’re liking the Juice line 👍
The bond looks ok but is not as good a design imho - all the tools (apart from pliers) open from the outside on the Juice, while you have to open the bond to access all tools ☹️🤷♂️
@@accoutrements4469 I’ve had the same plan! - Just bought me the same knipex cobra 100mm,excellent.Already carry vicky.Lighter weight combo. Only thing missing will be wirecutters.
I love my S2 funny enough I have both these color ways the orange one I keep safe and use the purple one daily it's comfortable and everything you need if you think a signal or p4 is to much
Yeah & such a great tool - baffles me why they ceased production. 🤷♂️ Obviously can’t have been as popular as other models, which is also weird imho 🤷♂️
I’ve never had a powerpint but can’t imagine it’s as good as the Juice, from what I’ve read. The Juice was/is a fantastic tool imho. For me in the uk the Powerpint would be a bit questionable due to the locking blade. Not many more compact options are there really. Toxin and Nextool might be worth a look from off’v China. I have the Nextool Mini Sailor and that’s pretty decent for the cheap price, although smaller than the Juice - more like mini pliers (but a bit bigger than the Gerber dime or Leatherman squirt ps4)
That’s definitely not something I’d personally want to do to ruin my juice, especially now they’re not produced anymore, but I expect one could be modified with the right tools and skills 🤷♂️
Its not gonna happen because lately leatherman is making all the worst decisions but imagine if they brought back the juice with FREE technology...the Juice Free would be amazing 👏
Indeed. Not that I have to justify how mucky or scuffed up my tools may or may not be to you or anyone else, but the orange one was my dads: never used n just shoved in his drawer so I brought it home with me. I did have a much older grey one and that one was was heavily used but it broke and Leatherman sent this grey one in the video as a replacement, and this one hasn’t had much use as it was relatively new still when I made the vid (it does clearly state that in the video too) and also I’ve avoided using it much as I can’t get another if this one breaks as well. That ok? ✌️
I LOVE my Juice S2 as an EDC. Perfect and size has what I might need 90% of the time. 10/10
Yeah, absolutely great bit of kit! 👌
This Leatherman Juice S2 looks pretty sweet. Has pliers, scissors, phillips and slot all easy to access.
Yeah I think this is a great edc toolset in a nice compact package - still baffles me why they stopped making them 🤷♂️

I'll get one when back in production (I hope). Seems to have everything you need, nothing you don't. Good size and weight.
Brilliant tool, such a shame they stopped it and haven’t even replaced it with anything very similar 😢
Sin duda uno de los mejores modelos de leatherman, es una pena que no lo fabriquen más.
Gracias por tus videos
100% ✌️

Glad you’re liking the Juice line 👍
I agree. It’s just about perfect. If there was a way it could have been made spring loaded it would have been the best in the world
That would’ve been a great addition! 👍
awesome tools! miniCobra one love! wish I'd get my Juice someday :) happy New Year!
Hope you can find a used one maybe? Great tools! And, yeah, Cobra xs is brilliant for its size! 👍
A fairly close alternative to the great but discontinued juice is the Leatherman Bond.
The bond looks ok but is not as good a design imho - all the tools (apart from pliers) open from the outside on the Juice, while you have to open the bond to access all tools ☹️🤷♂️
@@accoutrements4469
Agree but the Bond is one of the very few uk legal carry options.Its a good tool.
@@redpillnibbler4423 yeah, agreed, we don’t have many good legal options do we… 😕
@@redpillnibbler4423 I carry a Victorinox and a set of Knipex mini cobras nowadays - cheaper and more versatile imho.

The Juice is a great multi-tool, love my CS4.
Yeah cracking wee tools, the whole range! 👍👍
I love my S2 funny enough I have both these color ways the orange one I keep safe and use the purple one daily it's comfortable and everything you need if you think a signal or p4 is to much
Absolutely great compact tools imho! 👍
The juice is like gold dust from Mars to get hold of.

@@accoutrements4469
I don’t believe it wasn’t popular,it beggers belief why they stopped.

This or sog powerpint?
Which is best?

Can you mod a leatherman juice to make it tsa friendly?
That’s definitely not something I’d personally want to do to ruin my juice, especially now they’re not produced anymore, but I expect one could be modified with the right tools and skills 🤷♂️
I just lost my Juice 2. Went to replace it and it's GONE! Ugh.
Noooooooooo! Gutted for you, Sir! Hope you managed to find a replacement from somewhere… 🤞
That's a tragedy no man should experience. I feel your pain.
Indeed!
The plural is Leatherman knives or multitools.
I *think* it must be “Leathermenses”, surely!? 😜
Yeah, unfortunately, they don't make them anymore...
Terrible shame! ☹️
Its not gonna happen because lately leatherman is making all the worst decisions but imagine if they brought back the juice with FREE technology...the Juice Free would be amazing 👏
That would be cool! Will never happen though, as you say 😞
None of the tools look as if they've seen any use.
Indeed. Not that I have to justify how mucky or scuffed up my tools may or may not be to you or anyone else, but the orange one was my dads: never used n just shoved in his drawer so I brought it home with me.

Bit pointless as you can’t get it anymore 😂
Bit frustrating you can't get it anymore for sure.
I sure hope they will re-issue them. Lost my s2
Yeah, seems crazy to my they’ve stopped making them! 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ Such a great compact toolset.
@@accoutrements4469 one of their best selling items and now they stopped it? weird mate weird.
