Average Rating: 
Rating: - A leatherman for those who don't need to do everything.
After many years of hard use, I lost my PST. I tried living with out it but it just became to hard, so I needed a replacement. I used to work in theater, so a full functioned leatherman came in handy, and when the Wave came out, it was going to be my next purchase. However I have reached a point where I don't need the extra knife blades, saw, file etc. I didn't even need some of the features I had in the PST. The S2 packages everything I need in a slick, compact but functional package. If I KNEW I was going to be lost in the wilderness, I would want the Wave. But for everyday use, the Juice is elegantly efficient. And if I DO get lost in the wilderness, I'll be okay. Only downside is that it came without a holster. It's small enough to pocket, but when I have keys and cell phone in pocket, I like to move some weight out of there.
Rating: - compact, versatile tool
I bought this tool because I was tired of having to go down to the basement or out to the garage everytime I needed a screwdriver, knife, pliers, etc. I also use it extensively when I go sailing (the bottle opener makes me the most popular guy after a day of racing.) I chose this model because of its compactness and I did not need a corkscrew. It fits nicely in my pocket, is not excessively heavy or bulky, and has great ergonomics-much better than my Swiss Army knife. I carry it with me at all time and now I don't have to remember to bring an armful of tools with me as I work on projects around the house.
Rating: - Needs more Philips, fewer flatheads
This is definitely a step in the right direction. The Juice line tries to cut a demographic swath beyond the traditional tool geek, outdoor enthusiast. Here they go for the younger urban dweller. Biggest plus is that these hit the sweet spot between the 2 ounce Micras, SOGs, Kutmasters and the 8 ounce sheath models. Over time, hopefully big enough to take on certain tasks yet small enough to carry in my pocket or backpack. It's only going to be of use to me if I carry it and I'm only carrying it if I don't have to wear it. The primary way Leatherman misses the mark is by persisting with the flathead drivers. Particularly if you are targeting a young, urban market which probably rents rather than owns, what do they have? Computers, electronics, Ikea furniture, bikes, spiffy appliances -- and not a flat head screw is used to assemble almost any of these things. I have a set of Stanley screwdrivers at the house. I can count on one hand the number of times I've needed to grab a flathead over the course of 10+ years. I know it is different for many people but not everyone owns a house or works on a car. That doesn't mean they don't have need for other tools. This is a problem not merely with the S2 but with the entire multitool market. Bewildering. Other quibbles are down to personal preference. One person wants a corkscrew, another thinks it's needless. This goes on ad nauseaum. But, for myself, add tweezers and a metal file (not a nail cleaner but a REAL file), drop one of the flatheads for a larger Philips and the thing would be on the mark. Tweezers on a larger tool body are unwieldy but given the conditions under which I may use this thing I still think it would be better than nothing. However, given that I can't have exactly what I want it seems better to me to carry something that's missing a few things rather than something that throws a few more in and makes me lug it all around. The S2 gets high marks for an OK tool set, good construction, terrific weight and dimensions.
