If it isn't too late you might hold out of the PS4 - Pliars w/scissors in a keychain size tool. I've heard it'll be available around May.

Looks slick, only 1 place had it online and it was for around $25, so I'm sure it'll be even cheaper than that when it does come out.

I have the Leatherman P4 and E4. Both are great little tools. I much prefer the E4 to the P4 for most tasks.

Exactly, IMO the E4's needlenose pliers are better in that size than the tiny pliers of the P4. The wire strippers are excellent, it just doesn't matter that they're small. I was assisting a friend who was doing some ad hoc wiring away from his bench; if he'd planned on doing this job he'd have brought a tool kit. Watching him trying to strip wires with a cheap pocket knife was painful so I pulled out the Leatherman E4, "You've got wire strippers?" smile They worked great. cool

I have a Gerber Shortcut, Leatherman Squirt S4 and P4, and Micra.

I typically don't EDC any of them since I either have a LM Charge on my belt or a LM juice in my pocket, but I would go with the P4 if I needed something more on my keyring. I've never gotten around to getting a Gerber Clutch but I have been pretty happy with the Shortcut.

I'm carrying a P4. It's been rock solid.
