After losing my leatherman micra, which I had for several years, I stopped at a local sports shop to purchase a squirt P4 as a replacement. They were our of the squirts but had the gerber shortcut. I purchased the gerber and in less than 24 hours, with absolutely no use or abuse to the tool, the rivet at the scissors pivot point self destructed and I had two tools and no scissors. Luckily when I returned to the store the next day they had received a shipment of the leatherman squirts, took back the gerber without question, and I happily paid a little extra for a squirt P4. My reason for wanting a P4 is that the knife can do the majority of the tasks a scissors can do and I found with my old Micra I would sometimes be lacking for a small pair of pliers.
Its leatherman for me. Just my own experience.
