, but having to open the thing to get to the blade or other tool inside is annoying.  Number one tool I use, would be the blade, so doesn't really fit. 



As much as I love the Micra, I agree about the blade.  A blade is my most-used tool too, so that's why I usually carry something with a one-hand opening blade.  I almost posted that I would like to see a Micra with a one-hand openable blade, but I realized that even if one could be made, it would be too small to be reasonably useful.  That said, here is a bonus pic - a match made in heaven.

Well one final post for those that are interested....the tree and the Micra, a tail of rain, wind and rabbits....



Yes that's right, 38 inches across and cut into 5 x 62'ish inch lengths....with a 20 inch chainsaw bar, and moved with a rear 3 point linkage forks on a Massy 135.

Hard work that, lucky the crown was reduced 4 years ago.

Now a picture of the ducks....they have really grown....

That is a very good pair.  I think the Micra would also make an excellent pairing to a LM Signal.

I hope you never have to use it, but it's good to have on hand.
This is my thought as well.  Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

Managed to escape work using my lunch break to drive back....only to find a tree down....going to use the Micra to assemble the chainsaw after it was cleaned.

It's pouring down, so getting a picture in now before I am soaked..

I think the Micra would also make an excellent pairing to a LM Signal.
I can awlso see that being a good combo.

As much as I love the Micra, I agree about the blade.  A blade is my most-used tool too, so that's why I usually carry something with a one-hand opening blade.  I almost posted that I would like to see a Micra with a one-hand openable blade, but I realized that even if one could be made, it would be too small to be reasonably useful.  That said, here is a bonus pic - a match made in heaven.

They made the now discontinued Style CS that looks like a hybrid Skeletool and Micra. I assume it didn’t sell well.

I have one as a backup if my Micra ever gives up the ghost. Seems like the screwdriver isn’t as robust though

My travel combo, small, and can travel somewhat hidden in checked luggage and has made it aboard several cruise ships.
My MICRA & Style PS

MICRA -Easy to grip scissors, pick/file, extra small flat driver/cap lifter, several flat drivers w/Phillips, tweezers and chisel ground blade.

Style PS - blade less, small but functional pliers, tweezers (small), small scissors (good for nails), file/multiuse tip, and heavy duty cap lifter/clip .
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Yeah, I'm not too fond of that one.  It looks cool, but the handle really digs into the palm of your hand when you use the scissors.  :(
