Micra vs Squirt [Posted on 2006-11-08]
I've owned my Squirt mine 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 main reason I went through them so fast.
Squirt - Still springing after years, much more force behind this one.

--Scissor Grip--
Micra - When doing some serious cutting, 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.

Micra Pocket Multi-Tool  [Posted on 2007-06-08]
I purchased this as an addition to my keychain and have been happy with it. The tools are high quality and I use some part of it every day.

Well made replacement for my Swiss [Posted on 2007-12-08]
I used to have a Swiss Army-Victorinox Classic SD Pocket Knife on my keychain, but it has been superbly replaced by the Leatherman Micra. It is bigger than the Swiss, but the scissors (what I mainly used my Swiss for) are much bigger and easier to use on the Micra. It also packs in three different sizes of screwdrivers and a bottle opener, which my Swiss didn't have, and I really like the locking design (no more worries about things folding up while in use!).

The ruler is fairly useless though, as it is covered by polycabonate and is hard to read. The casing is starting to get scratched by my keys as well, but that is to be expected.

Spray a little WD-40 into it if you want to loosen up the joints, it makes it much easier to unfold the different tools.

Pros:
-Big scissors
-Lots of functionality
-Compact design
-Tools lock into place
-Durable

Cons:
-Ruler is small and hard to read because of the casing
