User Features When using the scissors, you'll first grip the handles at the thicker ends and swing them open. At first you will notice a bit of resistance, due to the spring mechanism that controls the scissors. To close them, simply reverse the procedure. To navigate the blades, just open the handles. Then it's easy to use the nail nick to rotate out a single blade. Once the blade is open, all you have to do is close both handles to take advantage of the Posi-Stop feature. Should a blade accidentally start to close, that blade will be stopped by the opposite handle -- for an added measure of strength and safety. For further stability, the Micra has two small tabs inside the handles that interlock when the handles are closed. The Micra comes with a stainless steel split ring that will allow the tool to be attached to any key chain or lanyard. Or, if you prefer, the split ring can be completely removed and the fixed attachment point can be easily folded inside the tool. Warranty All Leatherman products are covered by a 25-year limited warranty. If within 25 years from the purchase date of your genuine Leatherman tool you find any defect in material or workmanship, you can count on the manufacturer to make it right with fast warranty service. To obtain warranty service, return your tool to Leatherman Tool Group. Depending on the tool defect, they will decide whether to repair your tool or replace it with a product of equal or greater value. No variations, upgrades or refunds are offered. The Leatherman Tool Group and its History of Quality In 1975, Leatherman Tool Group founder Tim Leatherman was inspired by leaky pipes and a cranky car on a budget trip to Europe -- and thus the idea for his first pocket survival tool was conceived. Since then, Leatherman has become an internationally recognized company with hundreds of employees and a wide variety of durable, versatile, stylish products. Created with bold designs and truly rugged construction, Leatherman products are a perfect addition for tool kits, emergency sets, and glove compartments everywhere.

The superior pocket tool June 7, 2008 Having a few bucks to waste, I thought I might prepare myself for dire straits. I considered the classic Swiss Army knife, but couldn't find what I wanted--the models that had a bottle opener were far too large to be slid in a pocket and carried about. I then considered the Leatherman Micra, which I believe to be the better option.
First, consider this: how often do you need a pocket knife? Second, consider this: how often do you need a pair of scissors? In my experience, decent scissors are thrice as useful as a knife blade. While Swiss Army knives have at best a slide-out pair of nail scissors, the Leatherman's scissors are comfortable, powerful, and precise--shrinkwrapped CDs and DVDs are, for the first time in my life, no problem. The knife blade is certainly up to snuff, if not quite what you'd want for gutting a trout. The tweezers are superb, the nail file reliable, and even the screwdrivers (flat and Phillips-head) will do in a pinch.
It may not have every feature known to man, but then I've never found myself saying "Darn, where's a reamer when you need one?" (Frankly, pocket-sized corkscrews never were much use, anyway.) For eight out of ten problems around the house, the Leatherman Micra will have you covered.
Solid, good price July 13, 2007 Overall, I would rate this a 4 star. Built well, low price. You do have to open the Leatherman to use all the tools.
Micra vs Squirt November 8, 2006 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
I used both the Micra and the Squirt. Right now I have the Squirt attached to my keys for about 3 years and it is still going strong. I have the "S4" version with the scissors instead of pliers. When I saw that someone said the Micra was a better value, I had to come to the defense of the Squirt. Take it from someone who knows, the Squirt far surpasses the value of the Micra. I had gone through 2 Micras before I found the Squirt.
--Scissors Spring-- Micra - After a month or two it was so gummed up that the scissors would stay shut and would not open on their own. This was the main reason I went through them so fast. Squirt - Still springing after years, much more force behind this one.
--Scissors Grip-- Micra - When doing some serious cutting (or using the pliers), the sharp metal frame and tools will start to slice into your hand. Squirt - Thicker frame to house the tools on the outside lessens so it will not hurt your hand.
--Paint-- Micra - Start to flake and chip off after a month or so. (If you had to get one, get the stainless steel finish) Squirt - Storm gray paint has scratched off but no big flakes like the Micra. The paint is bound to go through some serious wear and tear when on a keychain so some scratches are to be expected.
--Size-- Micra - Small Squirt - Smaller
If you were thinking of getting the Micra, spend the extra 5 bucks and get a knife that is 5 times better.
Very handy pocket tool August 22, 2005 9 out of 10 found this review helpful
Leatherman's reputation is pretty well-established in the pocket/belt tool market. I wanted something small that I could carry in my pocket and attach a key or two to as well. The Leatherman Micra fits the bill well.
The particular one I have has the blue polycarbonate handle cladding. I chose it to minimize the inevitable scratching of the handles in my pocket.
The tools themself are a little less quick to access than my old Victorinox pen-knife tools were, but the number and quality of the available tools certainly make it a worthwhile trade.
I also find that the location of the key fob and the key & LED light I have attached can be somewhat inconvenient when using the tools with the handles folded as they are intended to be used.
Overall, however, I'm very pleased with the functionality of this tool. I started using it almost immediately after purchase and find myself turning to it several times a week.
If you need a small, capable, well-crafted pocket tool for moderate use, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this one.
