Juice XE6 is my n:th Leatherman and first non-lockable-blades Leatherman after the original PST.

This multitool is heavy as it's packed with lots of tools. Lots of tools equals less space for pliers so the pilers aren't as sturdy as in other pocket-size Leathermans.

With weight comes a pletohra of tools. You have your basic blade, serrated blade, saw, a good size scissors (biggest I've seen in a multitool so far), screwdrivers, awl and for me not so important corck screw.

Even the blades are not lockable, they hold fast pretty well (whole lot better than in the PST) so you dont have to worry much about losing a finger or two. On the other hand, tightness is really annoying with the shorter screwdrivers: you need strong nails and thick skin not to hurt your fingers while opening those.

I'd say Juice is a good camping tool, but for the size/price I'd recommend Wave over this if you are planning to use your multi tool on daily basis.

This is a great knife. I received it as a gift several years ago, and have frequently used it since. I mostly use the screwdrivers, the can opener, knives, scissors and pliers. It's great when I need something simple and I don't want to have to get the toolbox out. It's very convenient to have available. It's easy to use and the blades stay sharp for a very long time. It doesn't have locking blades, but for all around utility I don't feel that this is that important. Overall I have been extremely happy.
