Ok, so this week I need a little help from you.

Many of you may know that a while back I tested out the Gerber Suspension Multi-tool.

It had its ups and downs (and took a good chunk out of my finger in the process…), overall it is a decent multi-tool.

But it isn’t exactly something that I want to carry around on my hip all the time.

I want something that folds up, fits in my pocket, and doesn’t look out of place.

I’m looking for a new tool and I want your input.

Just about anyone you talk to will tell you that the “go to” name in multi tools is a Leatherman and it just so happens that they make one that looks like it has everything I need.

It’s called the Squirt

Check it out:

  • 420 HC clip-point knife blade
  • Needlenose pliers, regular pliers, wire cutters
  • Spring-action scissors, wood/metal file, bottle opener
  • Flat/Phillips medium regular screwdrivers
  • Stainless steel with hard-anodized aluminum handle scales
  • Outside-accessible tools
  • Fits on a key ring attachment
  • Measures in at 2.2 x 2 x 1.2 inches
  • Weighs in at 2.1 ounces

The guys over at survivalbased.com have these in stock for around $35.00 and I’m thinking about grabbing one.

What do you think?

Should I give the squirt a shot??
