No wiggly tools with this well-engineered device. Gear editor Kristin Hostetter swears it’s “the lightest full-featured multitool that’s small, stable, and tough enough for backpacking.” $60; 4.3 oz.; leatherman.com

oops, sorry for the double post.

I bought a juice pro a few years ago and regretted it almost immediately. Firstly, the teeth in the pliers bent under stress the very first time I used them. Secondly if is extremely hard to get the tools out (really, I've broken already very short fingernails trying to get them out). And thirdly, (but this is my own damn fault, that particular model has way to many tools to have it weigh something practical. In other words, it weighs a ton.

I have a juice pro, and have regretted buying from the start. It has way more tools than this one, which was my first mistake. It weighs a ton. The tools are really hard to open (I mean REALLY). And to top it off the grip teeth in the pliers bent the first time I used them. I would kill to design my own multi-tool.

Try to use moderate amount of force. I have the E6, and yes, the can opener is not sharp, but it allways gets the job done for me. And yes... Its the bottleopener who doubles as a can opener.

no can opener listed by mfr on Mdl C2-could you be looking at the bottle opener?

Did you find/use the can opener? I have one that isa couple of years old, and I see where the opener shoud be, but it is not sharp and does not open cans! I rarely take cans backpacking, but it would still be niceto have on there. Any luck?
