Hi all,
I'm thinking about a micra, either for me or as a birthday gift (or both?).

I see the colored versions actually have an additional layer over the steel one, which one is the best? what are the pros and cons of the two versions?

Thanks,
Danilo

The color will chip and wear off over time. I like the plain stainless version myself.

The colour layers do add to the size and bulk of the tool. It depends on how much you want red/black/gray/blue/green  :pok:

actually I don't want them, but they are cheaper here (although by just a couple of euros...)

I also like the opening on the tweezer side of the "nude" one...

IMO the finish defines the Micra as a tool or a toy.

I had two but I am now down to one since they confiscated one at La Guardia over the concern I might peel grapes during the flight...

I believe the one I still have is marked USA. Do they not do that anymore? If so my other one was probably collectible too.

I've been beating the finish off mine for a few years, so hopefully it isn't *that* rare.

I read there was a lawsuit and they're not allowed to say Made in USA or stamp USA on their stuff any more since most (all?) of it isn't. Judging from your box maybe you do have a collectible but who knows? I am clearly no expert on it but it seems to me most of the Leatherman pics I see don't have a USA stamp. Hopefully some Leatherman expert will explain this.

From my observation, the older stuff from 90's has the USA stamp. I recently gifted a micra to a friend that had it and that was originally purchased in 96 I think.

New guy here!

Been carrying this along with the house keys since 2001.  A pair of scissors definitely goes a long way in the office or the mall.  It also doesn't attract any attention versus a SAK.  The small screwdriver on the cap lifter is somehow the perfect size for the screws on eye glasses.

The Micra ROCKS

Roche wins the award as Most Hardcore Micra Fan, as he has a Micra drawing for his avatar.

I have an old Micra (Patent Pending, at least 10 years old, I think) and I only miss a tweezers on it.

Oh, and the scissor joint is a little loose, despite not too much use, so it has to be squeezed shut in just the right way to cut a thread, for example.

Do the newer ones stay tight better, over the long run?


Welcome, Zephon. I bet that Micro of yours has some stories to tell about how it saved the day. Do tell!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

There's been a good amount of stories about the Micra ever since I got it in Costco in 2001.  They're small stories though -- no different from having an umbrella at the right time. 

I remember the first time it came to use was when we needed to move glass door cabinets from San Francisco to Antioch and we needed to unscrew the hinges of the glass doors.  Nobody had a screwdriver that could reach the screws.  The Micra's flathead (on the side of the blade) somehow reached the screws.  It took a while using a small tool at a contorted angle but at least we wouldn't have to worry about glass door rattling around a cabinet tied to the back of a pickup.

In the office, the small flathead (bottle opener tip) is the perfect tool for eyeglass screws.  Somehow, none of the SAK the other guys EDC here would have a flathead that fits those screws.

There are also moments when you're in the mall with the family and XXXX needs to be opened with scissors.  Pulling out a pair of scissors to open up whatever definitely attracts less attention than pulling out a knife -- even if it's a small SAK.  Then again, I believe it's more efficient to use scissors to a) open up a bag of chips or b) clip off the tag from a toy or something the kids or wife just bought and want to use right away.

Here in Manila people look at you bad if they see you pull out a blade of sorts -- even if it's a cheap china $1 nailcutter with a folding blade beside a folding nail file -- or see something clipped to your belt or pocket.  The Micra is not that hot on the eyes or catches attention on the frisk when mixed up with all the keys I carry.




Oh, best of all, it's also perfect for nose hairs :P  :whistle:

Welcome to the forum Zephon. :hatsoff:

I've now got an urge to carry a Micra for a few days. :)

I'm now very glad I did carry my Micra.  Was at the range yesterday and decided I wanted to tweak the weight on my trigger pull.  Not a lot, but just a touch.  Did I have a screwdriver long enough in my shooting bag?  No.  Does the Sidekick have a long screwdriver slim enough to pass through the hole in the trigger guard?  No.  Does the Wave have a long screwdriver?  Again, no. :rant:

Wait a second though, what do I have hanging on my keys?  A Micra; with it's larger flat screwdriver being the perfect size and length for the job. 8)

Can the colored translucent plastic covers on some Micra be removed without altering the function of the tool? Has anyone done this before?

I joined the Micra owners club today... however.. does everyones scissors close like this? Just seems strange for them to close over eachother? :)
It is designed and made this way. Doesn't bother me.

It doesnt bother me either just seems a strange design :)

Never noticed that because they don't cross that far in use.

They definitely go a little too far in use, at least on mine. The Squirt S4 scissors are more precise in that way, but it doesn't seem to have much of an impact on the Micra's cutting ability.

With this tool collecting with with multi's and SAK's, I still find that the most-used tool for me would be the scissors -- whether at home or at work, whether it be my wife or the kids, someone would need scissors.  Even if I have like a couple SAK and a plier-based tool on me, the Micra would still be the best choice for scissors. 

No fumbling on which side it's on. 

No tugging on a nail nick.

No digging into plier handles.

Just one smooth circular motion no different from a butterfly knife.

I have got this MICRA - in a thin metal gift box.
The micra in silver looks classic, i think.
