I too was given a CX in addition to a Juice S2 for Christmas (I have good friends)and over the years, like most here, have acquired... Gerber tool, Victorinox Swiss tool, some of the Leatheman line... original Survival Tool, MUT, Micra, StyleCS,Squirt PS4...when I switched out the Vic Farmer in my EDC pouch went with the Juice S2..primarily for the scissors....it has slightly smaller pliers than the CX (broke the pliers on the Squirt through abuse)... I carry a Benchmade axis lock folder for cutting chores, so the one handed opening is not a priority for the multitool...
