My son in law has used this product every day for 4 years. It finally broke. It is the only thing on his Christmas list.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Toolbox of the Urban Warrior, December 18, 2002

This device is absolutely one of the most treasured items that I own. Until you own the Micra and have attached to your keychain you just don't realize the number of situations in which you can use a tool like this.

The scissors are amazing for opening packaging; cutting thread, rope, tape or fishing line; and punching holes. The screwdriver functionality, while not incredibly robust, makes quick work of on the fly repairs (including glasses screws!).

The other functions I use fairly often are the bottle cap opener (very handy :-) as well as the set of tweezers.

All in all this is an extremely handy device that fills a multitude of roles and is small enough to fit on your keychain in your pocket.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best pocket knife I've ever had, December 1, 2006

By 

Forest Walker - See all my reviews

We live in the woods on a timber farm, regularly hike and canoe/kayak. I've been a farmer of sorts, including owning a wholesale nursery, for 36 years, and this has been my daily carry tool and knife for the last eight years. Stainless steel, no paint, etc. Losing this one would be like losing my car keys. I did lose it one day, and spent a half day out in the trails looking for the flash. Ho, ho, finally found it behind the cushions on the "nap couch," after I'd replaced it.

You folks need to understand some things about tools. Basically,they are sized to their needs. I have carried straight blade hunting knives, bayonets, some darn good folders that need to be worn cased on your belt, machetes, hatchets, you name it. Mostly I've found that in the woods, one seldom needs a big knife, and certainly not around town. By the same token, in daily life, even the 6" multitools fall far short of a real set of pliers, wrenches, and what not. Just try to screw down the washing machine hose connections with a "multitool."

This one is with me wherever I go, whether to church, business meeting, checking timber, or changing the oil in the tractor. Never prints on my pocket, never uncomfortable, all rounded edges, not heavy, never feel it. Little bit of nylon makes a lanyard to my life vest when on the water, and we've used it there many times.

98% of the time that I reach into my pocket for a tool, I need to cut something, and with this one, the scissors come out first, a real benefit, and work great. That's usually all I need, since they are razor sharp. Great on opening boxes -- a great scoring tool with two blades -- and you'd be surprised at the rope and electrical wire they can cut. The micra does have a knife blade, just as sharp as a scalpel, and I almost never use it, preferring to keep the factory edge in case I need to work on people (first aid in the way back).

Tweezers are fine, but my son and I have used the end of the bottle opener the most. Whether chasing tiny dropped computer screws, opening the cover to the points on the tiller, tightening eyeglass screws, lifting ingrown toenails, adjusting the carburetor screws on chain saws, or most anything else, this one gets a workout. The other tools are also useful, but maybe not always in the way they are named. The end of the file tool is great for cleaning fingernails, but the file itself is best used for lighting "strike anywhere" matches in wet weather (you didn't really buy "strike on box" matches for your camping trip or waterproof match box, did you?).

Sold enough on the tool (buy only the stainless version) to make it a stocking stuffer.

Merry Christmas!
