Great Knife and Multitool [Posted on 2004-07-23] When I bought this tool, I found out that it was the same price as the Micra. This tool is way better than the micra, because the scissors are a lot stronger and the overall product is more durable than the micra. I definatly think that this is better than the micra.
nice, but how about going back to a stainless steel handle? [Posted on 2005-01-30] The ability to open the knife blade without opening the handles was an improvement over the micra. However, the anodized aluminum wears poorly when in a pocket with keys and change. The perfect design would be the Squirt with a stainless steel handle option like the Micra, in my opinion. Nonetheless this is my pocket mini-tool of choice.
Micra vs Squirt [Posted on 2006-11-08] 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.
SO cute and so handy! [Posted on 2008-01-20] Love this little tool! Actually bought a second one when I lost it on a trip. Mini screwdrivers very handy, and love having scissors. Really you can't go wrong having one of these in your purse! Just remember to pack it in your suitcase and not go through security at the airport though! Also it's fun to get your boyfriend/husband one with the pliers for his keychain.
Can't speak for myself, but... [Posted on 2008-04-04] My girlfriend loves it. I bought for her to keep in her purse. I have seen her use it a bunch of times. This thing is TINY. She has one of those little purses that barely fits her wallet and cell phone and this thing just slips right in there.
I haven't used it much, myself, but I played around with it and the quality lives up to the Leatherman name, to be expected. The scissors are sharp and it's easy to use.
