Kampfer's Micra Mod

[Kampfer]

This mod is pretty self explanatory.

That is clever, can we pretty please see the other side, especially whats left of the nail-file?

Of course.

Thanks, this looks great, maybe I have to give the Micra another chance

What was wrong with your Micra?

Its ugly and has an over-bite.
I don't like the tools in general (useless tweezers).

Neat work!

This looks like it's transformed into fork mode.

LOL, I didn't even realized that.

Well that is your opinion....and my mod did not address any of those..
But I think removing the cap lifter had turned you on...

Nice mod!

BTW, what made you remove the bottle opener?   Was it the looks you were after or simply not having a use for it?

The Swiss+tech you sent me should be here any day now, will post back once I receive the package.

Cheers!

First I don't use the cap lifter, even if I do need one, the one on Skeletool is super good.
By removing it now the flathead has longer reach for recessed screws
I did the same on my Utili-Key Mod

Nice work mate.

The tweezers on my one work great.

Looks like it would make a suitable divot tool now as well, if you are a golfer.

I am not, I am a war reenactor.

Nice job I like that mod 

[TazzieRob]

Nice 

How is the sharp edge of the awl with the roughness of the nail file? I'd assume you would no longer be able to use that side without slicing your fingers 

I have considered grinding off the can opener blade from my Cadet to make it more useful as a screwdriver, I have no requirement for a can opener in normal edc.

[Kampfer]

Cut & filed down all my nails today while I was waiting for my wife to finish shopping, it worked fine.

Sweet Micra mod. Looks like excellent work. Great job. 

Makes me think of my modded Micra. I didn't do the modding, but I like it.

Nice work

[dan.mandiel]

yessss!! no cap lifters!!

[Zed]

Very cool

How is that awl working out given the thinness of the nail file? Is it able to bore holes in hard plastics? Do you think it would be any better if it were made with the blade instead of the file (ignoring the fact that this means you lose the blade)? Thinking about doing something similar with a Style CS.

It is working well! I thrilled holes in wood and hard plastics without trouble, as long as I apply pressure at the "right" angle so it won't fold. No need to waste a blade for an awl, save it for opening packages. Nail cleaner and file still work fine after the conversion.
