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.

Thank you. Do you have any experience with their Silver Blade EDC Tool? That seems like it would cover what I need.
