Leatherman 78105003K Juice XE6 Pocket Multi Tool, Thunder Purple

Editorial Review

The Juice folds up to a compact, easily transportable 3.2 inches when closed.

Leatherman's Juice Pocket Multitool

The Leatherman Juice Xe6 pocket multitool packs 16 powerful, secure and easily accessible implements into little more than 3 inches. With a slightly thicker chassis than the CS4 and KF4, and protected by Thunder Purple anodized aluminum handles, this model really has it all. Along with pliers, wire cutters and four screwdrivers, the XE6 contains a saw, awl and diamond-coated file -- and it provides a choice of straight or serrated knife blades. Serrated scissors, a corkscrew, and a can and bottle opener are also easily accessible, and the lanyard attachment keeps all these tools close at hand. Powerful but still compact, the XE6 will conquer most any task in a flash.

Key User Features

The integrated scissors are easily accessed with a nail nick, and the regular and hard-wire cutters are simple to lift out with their small notches. For easier removal of a cork, a notched assist is located at the end of the can/bottle opener. All you have to do is twist the corkscrew into a cork, then position the assist so the notch rests on the top edge of the bottle -- then lift the handles. It's as easy as opening a bottle of wine in your own kitchen.

The Juice XE6 features both straight and serrated knife blades made of 100-percent high-grade stainless steel. Highly corrosion-resistant, these blades are extremely easy to maintain -- just clean them, dry them, and occasionally re-oil them for years of long life and great service.

The Juice butterflies open to reveal a broad assortment of rugged, versatile tools.

The Leatherman Tool Group and its History of Quality

In 1975, Leatherman Tool Group founder Tim Leatherman was inspired by leaky pipes and a cranky car on a budget trip to Europe -- and thus the idea for his first pocket survival tool was conceived. Since then, Leatherman has become an internationally recognized company with hundreds of employees and a wide variety of durable, versatile, stylish products. Created with bold designs and truly rugged construction, Leatherman products are a perfect addition for tool kits, emergency sets, and glove compartments everywhere.

Leatherman Juce Purple

2007-04-07
I have owned several Leaherman tools. ALL were superb, GREAT quality. However the Juce Purple is he worse piece of garbage I have seen outside of junk made in China! Leatherman has had to replace the can opener (for example) four times as it breaks, bends, etc. Yet most of their cheaper models work quite well and are sturdy. The Juce has design flaws, plain and simple. I wonder where it is made? China? Heck, China maks some good quality items. Maybe Pakistan... My favorite is the WAVE. I have really abused it and NOTHING breaks or bends.

A Great Pocket Knife

2006-12-18
Before this series of knives came out you were pretty much limited to those made by Victorinox (Swiss Army). I love my Swiss Champ, and use it quite a bit, but the juice knives are as well built, but more compact than Swiss Army.

The tools are well organized and the quality of the tool is excellent.

One reviewer says that the can/bottle opener is no good for opening cans because it is not sharp. I would doubt that this person has ever opened a can with it. It works fine for cans...as well as opening bottles.

I also own a Juice CS4 and it has fewer tools, but fits in your pocket better.

Nice and compact, but not perfect

2006-11-23
By it's look and feel, you can't help but like this little baby, but it's not perfect. Firstly, the "bottle/can opener" is really just a bottle opener because the front bit is blunt (I suppose you could have it sharpened if you wanted to). The awl is similarly rather blunt; not as sharp or solid as the ones on Swiss Army Knives. The flat-head screwdrivers have a tendency to nick your thumb if you're not careful when prying them out. The fingernail slot for the wood saw is difficult to reach unless you unfold the scissors first.

Fine Engineering

2006-01-21
I have owned several multitools, and this one is the best. It has everything you could need in a compact unit. All the tools are well designed, well placed, crafted like a fine watch, and finished to a fare-thee-well. The knife blades are hollow ground. It is compact, simple to operate, and relatively lightweight for its size. The manufacturer offers a decent (and inexpensive) plastic holster which allows you to clip the unit to your belt or shoulder strap.

Nothing's as good as the original

2008-01-18
After collecting a number of knock-offs as promotional items as various shows, etc., I bought my wife the real deal to keep in the car. Very nice.

Great except for one flaw

2007-12-12
I've owned a lot of multitools over the years, have an original Leatherman that's about 20 years old at this point, and have many other Leatherman tools so I know their line fairly well. The Juice is in some ways the best concept of them all, but my tool has one big flaw. The springs in my model are more than a little weak. It wouldn't be so bad if it were for one of the small tools, but unfortunately it's for the larger knife blade and the Wharncliffe style blade. Usually the springs in Leatherman products are quite strong, but not in this case. Perhaps I just got one with a few weak springs. Also, the tools don't lock into place as on many multitool products these days.

Overall, though I like it and it has many pluses. The springs for the screwdriver are strong, though, and it snaps into place with a satisfying click. Tools fold from the inside and outside of the handle, so you get a few more smaller tools such as small screwdrivers. It's more compact than your typical multitool. As someone already mentioned, the knife blades appear to be hollow ground. (I'd actually prefer straight sides for added strength, but many people do like hollow ground blades for ease of sharpening and lightness). And the bright metallic colors are cool, except that this one isn't really Thunder Purple so much as dark passionate pink. Finally, the Juice comes in several different models with a greater or lesser number of tools, depending on your needs.

Except possibly for the Leatherman Wave, I think this is the best tool Leatherman has made yet.

Great Tool

2007-09-06
I've needed one for a while and am loving every minute of it. Compact and lady like color make it ideal for a woman who needs a lot of tools.

Small but with a lot of features

2007-07-30
I had a Juice for several years. Light compact but has a lot of features. I find my self using this every day. Better then a a Swiss army knife because of the pliers.

Nice - but not purple

2007-05-06
Yet another wonder from Leatherman - I'd give it 5 stars for quality and functionality, but I have to take away a star for the color.

It is more pink than purple.
