The Gerber Dime and Leatherman Squirt are the two classic keychain multitools with real pliers, and they are close enough in size that one molded sheath fits both. On a keyring they open pockets and catch on everything; in a sheath they ride flat and draw with one hand.
Keychain tools live or die on whether they are annoying to carry. A small kydex sheath holds the Dime or Squirt by its frame, clicks, and clips to a keyring or belt so the pliers are not digging into your leg. It weighs almost nothing.

The sheath, reviewed
1. Kydex Keychain Sheath for the Gerber Dime & Leatherman Squirt
Molded in kydex to the tool it is named for, handmade in the U.S.A. by military veterans, with adjustable retention and an audible click when the tool seats. Available in black, black carbon fiber, and coyote brown carbon fiber. Guaranteed for life.
How to carry it
On a belt
The sheath ships with the standard Clip & Carry belt clip, which is universal across all our multitool sheaths and carries the tool vertically on a normal belt.
On a duty or work belt
Swap the clip for the Tek-Lok belt clip, which fits belts up to 2.25 inches wide and attaches with the sheath's existing holes.
On a pack, vest or bag
The MOLLE clip replaces the belt clip using the same screws and mounts the sheath to MOLLE webbing on a bag or plate carrier.
Why kydex
Kydex is a thermoformed plastic that is molded directly on the tool, so the sheath holds it by shape rather than by squeezing it. It does not absorb water, oil, or sweat, does not stretch, does not fray at the belt loop, and lets the tool draw with one hand. A retention screw sets how firmly it holds. It is why every sheath here is guaranteed for life.
Frequently asked questions
Does it fit the Leatherman Micra?
No. The Micra is a different shape. This sheath is molded to the Dime and Squirt.
Does it fit the Leatherman Style PS?
No.
Can I clip it to a keyring?
Yes, that is what it is for.
Is it worth it on a keychain tool?
If the tool has ever snagged a pocket or stabbed your leg, yes.
The bottom line
If you carry the tool daily, the Kydex Keychain Sheath for the Gerber Dime & Leatherman Squirt is the upgrade that keeps it on your belt, clicks it in, and outlasts the pouch it came with. Add the Tek-Lok for a duty belt or the MOLLE clip for a pack.
