Leatherman Squirt alternatives? Recommendation Request

I had to surrender my Gerber Dime to the TSA because American Airlines didn’t have anyone at the front to check my (prepaid) luggage so I was told to gate check them which meant going through security and thus, the loss of my EDC multitool of many years.

I thought this would be a good opportunity to try the Squirt again only to find that it doesn’t seem to be available.

So now I’m between the Gerber Dime and Vise I guess unless any of you have better suggestions in the similar size range.

Pliers and blade are a must. My ideal tool would be a Style CS with a pliers instead of scissors.

NexTool Mini Sailor is a good option.

I got the Otacle P1 version which is the same I guess. Fantastic little thing for $20.

Plus Olight/Oknife is one of the best EDC companies that exist. They reward their customers constantly and have the best CS in the game by far. You won’t ever need it, but if you should… they are great.
