I watched a lot of reviews on youtube before deciding on a pocket multi-tool. The squirt seldom had bad reviews so I decided to buy it. I'm so glad I did.
I've got the PS4 in blue and I carry it with me everywhere now. I use it multiple times a week for everything from changing license plates to tightening the screws on my $5 sunglasses (the phillips tip is fine enough to handle this and sturdy enough to handle the large screws on my refrigerator). The Squirt looks like a toy but it's so small and light that I typically forget it's in my pocket until someone yells, "anybody got a screwdriver?" Then it's Squirt to the rescue yet again.
I actually bought my wife one too in red. She loves the file and the scissors and actually uses the small blade on it quite frequently to open packages, mail, etc.
The finish on the two we have has been sturdy so far despite being carried in the same pocket as my keys and her purse with whatever mysterious contents are in there. A few small scuffs are easily rubbed out and the finish looks like new again. I've had mine for about 2 or 3 months now and I have yet to find the Squirt lacking in anything I've tried to do with it. Obviously it's not for torquing lug nuts off a stubborn axle, but for a small package it packs a ton of utility.
This is the perfect gift for someone who can't carry a big full size multi-tool around but still want the capability of having one around. For the price, utility, size, and toughness, it can't be beat. 10/10
REVIEW UPDATE (8/27/12): The tension bar on the scissors has broken somehow. I almost never use the scissors so I'm not sure what happened, but the scissors no longer have the spring action function. I've spoken to Leatherman and they have assured me that the bar will be replaced under warranty so I'll just have to send it in for repair. The scissors are still razor sharp and cut well but they don't spring open anymore. Everything else the little Leatherman has been asked to do, it performed without hesitation. I would still recommend the Squirt PS4 to anyone in the market for a small multi-tool. Still 10/10
UPDATE 2 (07/23/2013): Leatherman has fantastic customer service. I sent in my broken Squirt (bent screwdriver and broken scissor bar) and they sent me a brand new one at no cost. I actually like these so much I bought another one to use while I sent the first one off to be repaired.
