Anybody own the leatherman squirt or juice?

Thinking of getting one as a EDC tool.

Only thing i am concerned is weight and size since i want to carry it one me constantly.

i got squirt...size is small.
but weight u will feel as its 57gms, even tho u may think its light, all those grams add up especially if u add in keys, led etc.
compare to something lighter like the SAK 58mm classic which is only 21gms.

I am not so concern about the weight since i carry very few keys or other items in my pocket.

The size is more important to me since i used to carry a leatherman wave overseas for work.

I am now looking for something smaller and lighter than my wave for personal use.

uhh ok.
1st say concerned about weight, now not.
and obviously it is small, needless to say its one of. Leatherman's smallest tool and also much smaller than wave.
so in that sense, i dont see what else is there to be concerned about.

Since i checked the squirts weight compared to my wave, weight is a non-issue.

Yeah, the squirt fits the bill so my concerned as been addressed.

Just bought my leatherman squirt, man its tiny.

What lube do you use on your tools? I am using Tuf-glide but the smell is very off putting.

I have gotten to love the smell of tuf glide. and lithium batteries.

we are actually having this discussion on the cutting edge facebook now,
for lubrication
tuf glide, militec, singer oil, benchmade blue lube, victorinox oil, and a really good one is if you have the fishing lube. daiwa oil that sort of thing
for protection
tuf glide, militec, singer oil, vaseline

my personal preference is fishing reel lube. and tuf glide as corrosion resistance.

I noticed that the tuf-glide lube last very long, but the problem is the smell stays on for a long time.

A month after it still has the lingering smell, i am worried it will transfer to my pants. Since i have some knifes which i store in a ziplock bag, now that bag smells of the lube.
