Gerber Dime vs Leatherman Squirt PS4 — 12-in-1 2.75 in closed 2.2 oz vs 9 tools 2.25 in closed spring-action scissors.

B006M9NIDO if you want Gerber Dime 12-in-1 language. B00KAZFECE if you want Squirt PS4 language.

Key takeaways

  • Dime on B006M9NIDO prints 12-in-1 keychain multitool language with 2.2 oz and 2.75-inch closed cells.
  • Squirt PS4 on B00KAZFECE prints spring-action scissors and 2.25-inch closed keychain language.
  • A full-size Truss or Wingman is a different ASIN fight.
  • Match model cells before you trust a shared mini-multitool collage.

Buy the Gerber Dime 12-in-1 Mini Multitool Black, model 30-000469, ASIN B006M9NIDO, when you want the keychain multitool whose feature line prints needle nose pliers, wire cutters, tweezers, a bottle opener, a retail package opener, a plain edge blade, scissors, drivers, a file, 2.2 oz, and 2.75 inches closed language. Buy the Leatherman Squirt PS4 Blue, ASIN B00KAZFECE, when you want the keychain multitool whose feature line prints 9 tools, spring-action scissors, needlenose pliers, wire cutters, a 420HC knife, a file, a bottle opener, a key ring, and 2.25 inches closed language. One card is a Gerber Dime 12-in-1 with 2.75 inches closed and 2.2 oz. The other is a Squirt PS4 with 9 tools, spring-action scissors, and 2.25 inches closed. Match the ASIN before you match the word mini multitool.

Short version. A Truss and a Wingman are full-size EDC multitools, not these keychain cards. A Silky PocketBoy 170 and a Bahco 396-LAP are folding saws. A Gerber StrongArm and an ESEE 4 are fixed blades. A Gerber 31-001134 and a Skeletool 833143 are micro / CX neighbors with different cards. A PowerLock S69N and a Suspension NXT are another multitool fight. A Huntsman 13713 and a Bond 832934 are another pocket-tool pair. A Benchmade 535 and a Spyderco C223GP are folders. B006M9NIDO and B00KAZFECE are the two mini multitool cards here.

Gerber Dime 12-in-1 Mini Multitool Black, model 30-000469, is ASIN B006M9NIDO. Leatherman Squirt PS4 Blue is ASIN B00KAZFECE. Full-size multitools, fixed blades, folders, folding saws, and neighbor micro / CX ASINs are different cards.

Who should buy the Dime, and who should buy the Squirt PS4?

Buy B006M9NIDO if you want the Gerber Dime 12-in-1 Mini Multitool Black, model 30-000469, whose feature line prints needle nose pliers, wire cutters, tweezers, a bottle opener, a retail package opener, a plain edge blade, scissors, drivers, a file, 2.2 oz, and 2.75 inches closed language. Buy it when that 12-in-1 mini roll with tweezers, a retail package opener, and a 2.75-inch closed cell is the job, and when you will keep Dime model 30-000469 attached to that ASIN instead of shopping a Truss photograph or a Squirt PS4 alone.

Buy B00KAZFECE if you want the Leatherman Squirt PS4 Blue whose feature line prints 9 tools, spring-action scissors, needlenose pliers, wire cutters, a 420HC knife, a file, a bottle opener, a key ring, and 2.25 inches closed language. Buy it when a Squirt PS4 with spring-action scissors, a 420HC knife, and a key ring is the sentence you opened, not a Dime body with tweezers, a retail package opener, and a 2.2 oz cell. Do not invent tweezers or a 2.2 oz weight onto B00KAZFECE from the Dime feature line.

Buy neither if you wanted a full-size EDC multitool. Truss versus Wingman already owns that seat. Buy neither if you wanted a fixed field knife. StrongArm versus ESEE 4 is that shelf. Buy neither if you needed a folding saw as the only cut tool. Silky PocketBoy 170 versus Bahco 396-LAP is the saw shelf. Buy neither if you wanted the Gerber 31-001134 versus Skeletool 833143 fight, the PowerLock versus Suspension NXT fight, the Huntsman versus Bond fight, or a Benchmade 535 versus Spyderco C223GP folder fight. Those comparisons already own those seats.

What is the Gerber Dime 12-in-1 actually for?

This card is a Gerber Dime 12-in-1 Mini Multitool Black, model 30-000469, ASIN B006M9NIDO. The Amazon feature block that travels with this part prints needle nose pliers, wire cutters, tweezers, a bottle opener, a retail package opener, a plain edge blade, scissors, drivers, a file, 2.2 oz, and 2.75 inches closed language. Those cells belong to B006M9NIDO. Do not paste Squirt spring-action scissors language, a 420HC knife cell, a key ring sentence, or a 2.25 inches closed cell onto this ASIN. Do not paste a Truss saw cell, a StrongArm fixed-blade cell, or a Skeletool CX ASIN onto this card.

Twelve-in-one is the count sentence on the title and feature story. Needle nose pliers and wire cutters are the plier and wire sentences. Tweezers are the tweezer sentence. Bottle opener and retail package opener are the opener sentences. Plain edge blade is the blade sentence. Scissors, drivers, and a file finish the named roll on this card set. Two-point-two ounces is the weight sentence. Two-point-seven-five inches closed is the size sentence. Model 30-000469 is the reorder string. Black is the color sentence. None of those sentences is Squirt PS4. None of them is spring-action scissors as printed on the Leatherman card. None of them is 420HC knife language. None of them invents a 9-tool count onto the Dime title.

A Dime 12-in-1 rewards a keychain or small-pocket seat that wants mini pliers plus tweezers, a retail package opener, a plain edge blade, scissors, drivers, and a file in a 2.75-inch closed package at 2.2 oz. Mini pliers are still mini pliers. They will not replace a full-size Truss or Wingman on every fastener. Practice the opens once at home so the first trail day is not also the first hinge lesson. Close the plain edge blade before the tool goes back against fabric. Local knife rules still apply to multitool blades. Tweezers are for splinters and small pulls. They are not a medical kit. Retail package opener is the packaging-cut sentence. Count it as the retail package opener, not as a second knife unless the card you can point to says otherwise.

Drivers and a file cover common small fasteners and soft edge work. A stripped screw is past the tip. Wire cutters on a mini tool are for light wire. Stop when the cut fights the jaw. Model 30-000469 and Black keep this Dime attached to B006M9NIDO. A different Gerber micro part with a different ASIN — including the Gerber 31-001134 neighbor fight elsewhere — is a different cart even when the brand matched in a photo. The saw fight and the fixed-blade fight live on other desks. Do not treat the Dime as a PocketBoy or a StrongArm.

Two-point-two ounces and 2.75 inches closed are why the Dime stays on a key ring or in a small watch pocket when a full Truss sheath story is too much iron. Twelve-in-one naming is count language on the title. Quote the named implements. Do not invent a saw onto the Dime because a kit list remembered a saw on every pliers tool. Scissors on the Dime card are scissors language, not spring-action scissors language from Squirt. Keep those scissors sentences separate. Plain edge blade language is one edge story. Close it. Local knife rules still apply.

Do: match B006M9NIDO and model 30-000469, and keep the 12-in-1 implement list, 2.2 oz, and 2.75 inches closed on the Dime card. Don’t: invent Squirt spring-action scissors or a 420HC knife onto this Gerber cell. Don’t: invent a dollar figure for the listing. Don’t: order a Truss because the word Gerber matched.

What is the Leatherman Squirt PS4 actually for?

This card is a Leatherman Squirt PS4 Blue, ASIN B00KAZFECE. The feature language that this comparison will treat as belonging to the part prints 9 tools, spring-action scissors, needlenose pliers, wire cutters, a 420HC knife, a file, a bottle opener, a key ring, and 2.25 inches closed language. Those cells belong to B00KAZFECE. Do not paste Dime tweezers, a retail package opener sentence, a 2.2 oz weight, a 2.75 inches closed cell, or a 12-in-1 count onto this ASIN. Do not invent model 30-000469 onto Squirt from the Dime card.

Nine tools is the count sentence. Spring-action scissors is the scissors-personality sentence. Needlenose pliers and wire cutters are the plier and wire sentences. Four-twenty-HC knife is the blade-steel sentence. File and bottle opener are the finish and opener sentences. Key ring is the carry sentence on this card. Two-point-two-five inches closed is the size sentence. Blue is the color sentence. None of those sentences is Gerber Dime. None of them is model 30-000469. None of them is tweezers or retail package opener as printed on the Dime list. None of them is a printed 2.2 oz weight cell.

A Squirt PS4 rewards a keychain seat that wants spring-action scissors and a 420HC knife with needlenose pliers, wire cutters, a file, a bottle opener, and a key ring in a 2.25-inch closed package. Spring-action scissors language means the scissors assist open. They are still mini scissors. They will not replace fabric shears on every job. Practice the knife open once at home before the first day the tool rides on a ring. Close the knife before the tool goes back against fabric. Local knife rules still apply. Key ring language is how the Squirt attaches to keys or a small carabiner you supply. It is not a climbing-rated attachment.

Needlenose pliers and wire cutters on a Squirt are still mini jaws. Stop when the twist fights the tool. File and bottle opener cover light edge and bottle work. Quote 9 tools as the card prints the count. Do not invent a 12-in-1 count onto Squirt from the Dime title. Do not invent Dime tweezers onto B00KAZFECE. PowerLock versus Suspension NXT, Huntsman versus Bond, Truss versus Wingman, and Gerber 31-001134 versus Skeletool 833143 are neighbor multitool fights elsewhere. A different Leatherman model string with a different ASIN is a different cart even when the brand matched.

Two-point-two-five inches closed is why the Squirt stays on a crowded key ring when a 2.75-inch Dime feels long in the same pocket. Spring-action scissors are the personality sentence that keeps Squirt in the cart when assisted scissors are the filter. Four-twenty-HC knife language is the steel sentence. Quote 420HC as printed. Do not invent a Rockwell number beyond what the card prints. Blue is the color cell on this ASIN. A different Squirt color or a Squirt ES4 sibling with a different ASIN is a different cart.

Do: match B00KAZFECE and treat the 9-tool list, spring-action scissors, needlenose pliers, wire cutters, 420HC knife, file, bottle opener, key ring, and 2.25 inches closed as this card’s cells. Don’t: invent Dime tweezers, retail package opener, 2.2 oz, or 2.75 inches closed onto Squirt. Don’t: invent a dollar figure for the listing. Don’t: order a Wingman because the word Leatherman matched and the Squirt cell was not checked.

How do you read these two mini multitool cards without mixing the knife and saw pages?

Both technique cells are mini / keychain multitools with pliers, cutters, openers, and blades for pocket and key-ring work. A fixed blade will not replace either of them as the only pliers set. StrongArm versus ESEE 4 is a fixed-knife conversation. Put B006M9NIDO or B00KAZFECE on the keychain if the mini pliers tool is the job. A pocket folder will not rewrite a wire-cutter cell. Benchmade 535 versus Spyderco C223GP is a folding-knife conversation. A dedicated folding saw will not rewrite a mini scissors cell into a PocketBoy tooth chart. Silky PocketBoy 170 versus Bahco 396-LAP is the saw conversation. Truss versus Wingman, PowerLock versus Suspension NXT, Huntsman versus Bond, and Gerber 31-001134 versus Skeletool 833143 tell you about neighbor multitool sizes and shapes. They do not erase the Dime 12-in-1 tweezers story or the Squirt spring-action scissors story on these two ASINs.

The Dime card gives you a 12-in-1 list with needle nose pliers, wire cutters, tweezers, a bottle opener, a retail package opener, a plain edge blade, scissors, drivers, a file, 2.2 oz, 2.75 inches closed, model 30-000469, and Black. The Squirt PS4 card gives you 9 tools, spring-action scissors, needlenose pliers, wire cutters, a 420HC knife, a file, a bottle opener, a key ring, 2.25 inches closed, and Blue. Those are the sentences this comparison will treat as belonging to these parts. A reviewer who timed a package cut on a different micro tool is a reviewer. The feature still says what it says.

Twelve-in-one and nine tools are not the same count cell. Tweezers and a retail package opener on Dime are not spring-action scissors and a 420HC knife on Squirt. Two-point-seven-five inches closed and 2.2 oz belong to the Dime card in this pair. Two-point-two-five inches closed and a named key ring belong to the Squirt card in this pair. Do not invent Dime ounces onto Squirt. Do not invent Squirt spring-action scissors onto Dime. Do not invent a dollar figure for either listing. Use the buttons for the live cart.

Keep the fixed-blade fights on the sheath when a hunting photograph tempts you into StrongArm or ESEE 4. Keep the folder fights on the pocket when the brand neighborhood matches but the product does not. Keep dedicated saws on the saw shelf when the kit list says multitool and pruning saw in the same breath. Keep full-size Truss / Wingman and PowerLock / Suspension on their own seats when a larger pliers photograph is the only filter you clicked. Keep Gerber 31-001134 versus Skeletool on its own seat when a different micro / CX string is the job. The ASIN is the shopping rule on those comparisons and on this pair.

Mini tools reward light cuts and light twists. They fail when treated as shop pliers. Open once at the bench. Confirm the blade closes before the key ring rides in a pocket. Local knife rules still apply. Airport and venue rules still apply. Neither card prints a legal-carry certificate for every jurisdiction.

Model strings matter as much as brand names. Model 30-000469 keeps Dime attached to B006M9NIDO when a search returns every Gerber micro tool. Squirt PS4 keeps the scissors-forward Squirt attached to B00KAZFECE when a search returns ES4 siblings. Read the model cell. Then read the closed-size cell. Then refuse to paste a Truss sheath story onto a keychain card.

What actually fails on these two cards?

The Dime card fails when B006M9NIDO is rewritten as a full-size Truss or a fixed knife without renaming the part. It fails when model 30-000469 is ignored and a different Gerber micro ASIN is ordered because Black matched in a photo. It fails when the 12-in-1 list is sold as a 9-tool Squirt count. It fails when tweezers are ignored and a splinter job is blamed on the brand alone. It fails when the retail package opener is counted as a second knife without a card that says so. It fails when plain edge blade language is skipped and an open blade rides against fabric. It fails when 2.2 oz and 2.75 inches closed are invented onto Squirt. It fails when a StrongArm ASIN is opened because both products say Gerber. It fails when a PocketBoy ASIN is opened because both conversations mention cutting tools.

The Squirt PS4 card fails when B00KAZFECE and a different Leatherman model are treated as one ASIN. It fails when the 9-tool list is rewritten as a 12-in-1 count. It fails when spring-action scissors are expected to replace fabric shears on every job. It fails when the 420HC knife is opened without a close check. It fails when the key ring is loaded like climbing hardware. It fails when 2.25 inches closed is invented as 2.75 inches. It fails when Dime tweezers or a 2.2 oz cell are pasted onto Squirt. It fails when a Wingman, Suspension, or Bond ASIN is opened because both products say multitool. It fails when a folder ASIN is opened because the word knife matched.

The shared failure is shopping the word mini multitool without reading model string, tool count, closed size, and scissors / knife story on the card you opened. Another shared failure is the first hard cut happening on a trip with no practice open at home. Open once at the bench. Confirm the close before the pocket ride. Another shared failure is inventing an implement because a kit list remembered tweezers on every keychain tool. If this comparison did not lock the implement on that ASIN, do not print the implement on that ASIN.

What is this comparison not?

This is not a full-size multitool comparison. Both cards are mini / keychain tools, and Truss versus Wingman is elsewhere. This is not a fixed-blade comparison. This is not a pocket-folder comparison. This is not a dedicated folding-saw review. This is not the PowerLock versus Suspension NXT article, the Huntsman versus Bond article, or the Gerber 31-001134 versus Skeletool 833143 article. This is not every Gerber and every Leatherman. B006M9NIDO and B00KAZFECE are the cards. A different model string, a different color cell, or a full-size neighbor is a different part if the ASIN changes. This is not a price quote. The listing moves. Use the buttons if you want the live cart.

This is also not a claim that one mini multitool makes you a better mechanic. Neither card prints a certification for rescue work or for legal carry in every jurisdiction. Leave invented tool counts, invented ounce weights onto the wrong ASIN, invented Rockwell numbers beyond the 420HC knife cell on Squirt, and invented dollars off the feature block you cannot point to. The job is a mini multitool for keychain and light pocket work, not a fixed knife and not a dedicated saw.

So which mini multitool should you buy?

Buy the Gerber if you want ASIN B006M9NIDO, the Dime 12-in-1 Mini Multitool Black, model 30-000469, needle nose pliers, wire cutters, tweezers, a bottle opener, a retail package opener, a plain edge blade, scissors, drivers, a file, 2.2 oz, and 2.75 inches closed language. Buy the Leatherman if you want ASIN B00KAZFECE, the Squirt PS4 Blue, 9 tools, spring-action scissors, needlenose pliers, wire cutters, a 420HC knife, a file, a bottle opener, a key ring, and 2.25 inches closed language. Buy neither if you wanted a full-size multitool, a fixed blade, a pocket folder, a dedicated folding saw, or a neighbor micro / CX fight instead. Match the model string and the closed-size / scissors story you can actually point to before you match the word multitool. Open once at the bench. If the tweezers-and-package-opener set you wanted was the Dime card and you opened a Squirt spring-action-scissors card, the card was wrong, not the key ring.
