For whatever it's worth, I recently bought a juice XE6 to carry on a cruise ship, to have something inoffensive and clearly not a weapon (as it was, they confiscated it, then gave it back to me on board- it's a long complicated story that, in the end, makes no sense at all).

I have other Leatherman tools, including an early Wave that I've always been rather disappointed with. It has the "loose handles" problem, the main blades are uneven in tension, and the plain-edged blade is very hard to open one-handed... and it weighs a ton. I also have an old Leatherman first-generation PST that had the soft wirecutters (dented on first use), and the handle hinges are looser than the pliers, so it's impossible to open the pliers normally- very frustrating to use. I also have a Mini that's Ok, but very uncomfortable to use, and a few Micras that have those almost-unusable tweezers.

For my money, the Juice is better engineered and built than any of my others. Everything is tighter, feels much more precise, more positive action, better designed details, more comfortable to use. After carrying it for just a week, I like it better than any of my SAKs, some of which I've had for 30 years, and I can only wish my Wave were built nearly as well.

Hopefully the Charge series will be... but I won't be running out to buy one of the first ones released. I'll wait and see.
