All this leads to my multitool preferences. I want a well-selected set of the tools that really matter, sturdy and high quality construction, and pocket-friendly size and shape. I have handled many multitools over the years. None ever hit the mark until the Leatherman Juice S2.

This is the perfect multitool for EDC (E Day Carry). It's light and elegant enough to ride in dress pants, yet tough enough to be stuffed into my jeans. This is a pants pocket tool, make no mistake. When folded it has no sharp edges or corners to wear a hole in your pocket. Leatherman does not make holsters for the Juice series because that's not how they are meant to be stowed.

The weight and tool durability/quality are well balanced. Stronger tools would have made the S2 too heavy for pant pocket EDC. Lighter tools wouldn't do the job - as is the case with many Swiss Army Knife tools.

The tool selection is perfect too. The almost all frequently used tools - knife (only1blade is needed and supplied), scissors, and can/bottle opener - are available without opening the pliers. Inside, in addition to the pliers, are soft & hard wire cutters and 4 screwdrivers. No rarely used tools to clutter up my clothes and make the tool clumsy to use.

The Juice tools are designed well and seem to be solidly built. The knife, for example, is just long enough to easily section fruit. It has a hollow grind for easy cut entry, yet also has a spine that is wide enough to offer great flexural strength. The blade is nicely polished. The edge is ground with the correct grit and direction for the sort of cutting the tool is likely to see.

It doesn't hurt that the S2 is also the cheapest Juice. Highly endorseed.
