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 very much for the NexTool recommendation. Do you have any experience with their Silver Blade EDC Tool? That seems like what I’m looking for.

Sorry, never used that one before, just all from the Mini Sailor series and the Mini Flagship. Can recommend them for the quality though.
