When I first received my Leatherman Micra as a gift, I was dubious about its usefulness. What a laugh! Since then, I've used it more than any other tool I own. It's great for opening boxes, cutting line or string, any occasion when you look around for a sharp blade and you're not likely to have one handy. The only problem with it is that anyone - man or woman - who sees it in use immediately wants to borrow it. My solution is to put it in the Christmas stocking of every adult in the family. Be careful about the kids, they will want one, too, but make sure they are responsible enough to handle it safely. It's definitely not a toy.

Leatherman is known for its high quality products and this item is no different. The size is perfect for putting on a keychain. The only thing I don't like its how they did the coloring. Its not an anodized metal, but a clear plastic cover over the metal. This makes its slightly larger than the standard no color one and dust and dirt can get between the plastic and the metal. If I were to buy another one, I would get the standard none colored version.

got one of these last year in A maglite combo pack. Best money I ever spent. saved my [life] A few times. I'm even thinking about buying five more right now as wedding gifts.

A truly great little tool with excelent usability and qualitiy. My only complaint with it is I now have to remember to take it out of my computer bag when I travel by air.

I own several Leatherman tools, and two of them are these miniatures: a Squirt P-4 and the MICRA. Of the two, the better is the Squirt series. Why? The Squirts are simply better-made. They are of a more solid construction. Their opening and closing actions are solid and give a nice satisfying "click." The MICRA, on the other hand, is a bit flimsy in comparison and it's opening and closing action is sticky and slow with no great "click." With a Leatherman, you want that "click." It's part of the Leatherman mystique. On the other hand, the MICRA does possess a better choice of implements, and the quality of the implements themselves are equal to those on the PS-4. DILEMMA! What to do?

Get 'em both.
