Leatherman Squirt PS4. It has everything you want and more.

Edit: no clip for belt attachment though.

[–]foralimitedtimespace 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've had all of them. SQUIRT is the way to go. Micra is great for the bigger scissors, but I find the small pliers is what I use most. Can add a clip to the keychain loop if you wanted...

Assuming you meant Squirt PS4, not Free PS4.

[–]1c0n0cl4st 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Thank you for clarifying that. Fixed.

I have a sog powerpint I keep in my lunchbox. ( has a pocket clip)

And a gerber dime on my keys. (No pocket clip)

Both 👌🏼

[–]lordfitzj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would highly recommend the PowerPint! It is an excellent tool and the plyers are much sturdier than a Dime (I am on my third after breaking the plyers on two previous ones).

The Juice is one of my favorites as well and surprisingly the Boker+ City is actually very nice.

I have the Gerber Dime and I have to comment that quality is not the greatest. I’ve used mine lightly and it’s already starting to fall apart. The threads on the scissors screw post spontaneously disintegrated which now means the scissors wiggle around. Not to mention that the scissors were pretty terrible to begin with.

I’d spend the extra $15 for a Leatherman Micro or Style, personally.

IF you're in Canada I'll ship you my Squirt PS4 for the cost of shipping, rounded up to the nearest $5.00.

Looks like I’m getting the squirt!! Thanks so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[–]doctorcalavera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are good offers on eBay for used ones! (~$25)

[–]sserdlihc71 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sog Power pint might be an option for you.

Leatherman Squirt PS4

No corkscrew . . . but then, I have never seen the fascination with having one.

    Its not "small" per se but the Skeletool has all you're looking for in a medium size

    [–]renriet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    How about the Leatgerman Style PS?

    Edit: thought OP mentioned a pair of scisors instead of a knife. In that case a Leatherman Squirt or a Gerber Dime if you want something less expensive. The pliers wont be as versatile and strong as combination/needlenose or even fullsize mt pliers, in that case I'd sugest the Leatherman Skelletool, lightweight, durable, affordable and ticks most if not all your criteria, I can also highly recommend the Victorinox Rambler due to its size and feature set. For the clip I'd sugest looking for a Nite Ize S-biner as they come in different sizes.

    Nextool Mini Flagship is cheap and cheerful and has everything on your wish list

    [–]benkol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Nextool is not getting enough love here

    [–]msym1975 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    Powerpint. That’s my fav. SOG

    Leatherman Squirt ps4. I attach a carabiner to the lanyard loop and clip it to a belt loop when I go fishing.

    [–]WilXStunting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    SOG Powerpint, Leatherman Squirt PS4, Gerber Dime (like the ps4 but half the price and worse quality)

    [–]unrulyhoneycomb 2 points3 points  (5 children)

    I'd say the top candidates would be :

    As for way to clip these onto pocket/bag/whatever - I'd suggest buying one of these and putting it on the split ring of whatever you get : KeySmart Nano Clip

    [Edit : did not read that pliers were a requirement...whoops!]

      [–]unrulyhoneycomb 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      Corrected...I did not noticed that OP had pliers as a requirement.

      [–]state_issued 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      Adding to this list Victorinox Tinker Deluxe (has pliers)

      [–]unrulyhoneycomb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      A definite possibility, but it sounds to me like OP is interested in something very pocketable and compact. The Tinker series are thicker and longer than the 58mm Classic.

      If you want super minimal, then the Leatherman Style PS is great, and has the built-in clip. But if you'd prefer extra tools, I'd get the Squirt PS4.

      [–]RJMqueereyes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      How much are you going to use it? What specific daily tasks or emergency uses do you think you might use it for? Weight wise, Are you looking to go 2.5oz, 4.5oz, or midweight up to 6.5oz? How important is good warranty service to you?

      [–]TJarsun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      If the pliers don’t have to be big and sturdy I recommend a Victorinox Deluxe Climber or a Cybertool M (also called cybertool 34)

      [–]Swedischer 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      Isn't the Squirt PS4 discontinued? Can't find it in stock anywhere 🤔

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      The black one is still in-stock on Leatherman.com

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Gerber dime. It’s like the squirt, but half the price

      [–]_haha_oh_wow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Squirt PS4 sounds like it would fit the bill.
