Good little pair of scissors, May 28, 2010

This is, to me at least, an interesting product. When I think of Leatherman, I generally think of tools that include pliers and have a reasonable amount of heft to them. So, let’s start by saying that this tool is not.

It is not a beefy multi-tool. If that is what you are looking for — look elsewhere. I would disagree with the pictures that seem to suggest that this is backpacking tool. It is not. It is too small for outdoor use.

It is clearly aimed at the Victorinox small pocket knife collection — like the classic or the manager series. It is a little longer than either the classic or manager and slightly thinner. The individual tools are easy to access and use. Each tool works as advertised, except, IMHO, the flat head Philips isn’t worth much.

However, the primary reason for purchasing this tool is to have quick access to a pair of spring loaded scissors. The scissors are quite nice. Good leverage for dealing with thick items and reasonable sharp.

I use a pair of scissors multiple times a day and think this will work out well for me. I attach my car key fob to a S type mini-carabiner on my belt loop. (I wear jeans every day.) The carabiner on the Style CS easily attaches to the one on my belt loop. Giving me easy access without a lot of weight or bulk.

I recommend this tool. Just keep in mind that it is not for everyone. However, if you need a good small pair of scissors, with a few extra tools, that actually work, it is a little hard to beat.

Cheers.

Looks cool, but Leatherman Micra is same size and much better, September 15, 2010

I was disappointed with the Style CS. The skeletonized frame looks cool, but the knife blade is the same size as the Micra. Also the tweezers are slightly lopsided, in that 1 side is about 1/16’th inch longer than the other. The tweezers don’t meet at the same point, so they won’t work for pulling slivers, which is why I like to carry tweezers. I also had diffuculty getting the tweezers out.

The large scissors are nice, but again, the same size as the Leatherman Micra.

The only plus for the Style CS over the Micra, is that the blade on the Style CS opens without opening the handles. Thumbnail slot on blade needs to be further out toward the tip, to give you better leverage.

I think you see where this is going….I’d recommend getting the Micra instead.
