The Leatherman Micra

The diminutive sized Micra is a scissor based multitool that fits nicely in your jeans fifth pocket. I carry it there to avoid the extra weight on my keychain. It features 10 different tools that you may find useful for your daily tasks.

The tools are:
Scissors (spring action)
420HC Blade
Bottle Opener
Flat/Phillips Screwdriver
Medium Screwdriver
Small Screwdriver
Nail File
Nail Cleaner
Tweezers
Ruler (12cm/4.7in)

If you follow Victorinox feature listings you should also include the Keyring on the Micra.

Its main feature that gets the most usage around here is the Scissors.They are quick to access and come in handy for all sorts of snipping tasks....loose threads, small cuts to paper, fishing line, paracord, even 18awg wire no problem. Sometimes the wire cutting dulls up the scissors. To sharpen them I picked up a tip from the internet. Use Aluminum foil. Make several folds in a sheet of foil and cut through them with your scissors. After about a dozen passes through the foil the scissors have an edge back. If I want them sharper then I make more passes through the foil. I find this works for me but YMMV of course.

The only feature that I haven't used yet is the Ruler. The cm markings are stronger and more consistent than the inch markings on my Micra. Fore accuracy I feel that only measuring up to 4cms will be sufficient, either from 0-4cm or 8-12cm. Beyond that and I can't get the marks to match the markings on my 30cm ruler.

Overall the Micra makes for a great companion carry multitool. It complements the Skeletool very well and many folks will be able to get by with just the Leatherman Micra for their everyday carry.
