The Micra owners club

[dks]

Thanks, guys! This sounds comforting!

They all seem to do that, a bit.
Even the supertool 300 handles move away a bit if you try to use a screwdriver hard.

Of course if it is actually bend and not just a bit loose then you will need to fix it.

I'm in the club with 2 Stainless Micras, one used and abused and a flawless backup.

Yeah, that's right, the handles move, too

Ok, as long as it isn't falling apart, I won't worry

Cool!

The Micra is a great little tool. The only Multitool worthy of being in my wives purse.

I carry a old made in usa micra with a victorinox Spirit x often they make a great combo.

I'm a idiot my Spirit is a Black oxide S not a X I got mixed up. I thought s stood for scissor for some reason.

Sorry

Well it would make sense wouldn't it?  But obviously Vic think that 'S' stands for scissorless.

Well if it didn't stand for scissorless before it does for me now

One stainless Micra here.

My preference in scissor-based MT is the Crosscut, but the Micra comes in second. I have a Squirt S4, and just fear scratching up the anodized coating. One of the things I love about both Crosscut and plain Micras is the clean stainless finish.

If you are reseating the screws,use locktight when putting them back in.

I am amazed that Leatherman in the UK have discontinued the venerable micra.
Good thing that I have four of them, my favourite key ring EDC

Nice  The reason I like the stainless ones is they're slimmer THe reason I like the colourfu ones is.... they've got colour

Discontinued?! What a blasphemy!

[Gareth]

Ceased to import rather than discontinued I would have said, but the net result is the same; Mirca not readily available in the UK.   Now, as we know, LM does have lots of other small tools that include scissors, so it might just be that the Micra hasn't been selling as well as the rest of them.

[macabee]

Strangely on the UK Leatherman website, they state the following

"The Leatherman Micra is our most popular mini-tool with anglers, hobbyists and those who can appreciate the best spring-action scissors around.

Ah we'll that's life

[stealth007s]

I'm in, here's mine



Date codes 0198 on both handles.

Excellent…  Now I can start a black market on LM Micras….   


Though amazon uk may still source them..

[invitus]

got one user micra here too

[Monrogue]

I will be joining this club soon.  I'm hoping I receive my red Micra either today or Monday

[Gareth]

I've said it before and I'll say it again; the Micra is THE Leatherman keyring tool that everyone should own.

Corrected!

It may not be the original,nor the best,but it is the standard that all should be measured by!

[New_World]

--the micra is my fav .
it will be on my keychain for a long time.


---ove that the tools are in the inside so dirt and crap doesn't get in there AND so that it doesn't open up a blade in my pocket by accident.


(I've carried a s4 before and didn't have ANY issues of opening up in my pocket, but the micra brings me slightly more piece of mind)

[Lynn LeFey]

At the scale of the Micra, the inside opening tools don't bother me. It's more annoying to me for full-size tools for some reason.

I also think the regular and flat phillips drivers on the Micra are the best in the industry. I am constantly amazed at how utterly rock-solid both drivers are. I can say for an absolute fact that the Micra will turn phillips screws that will strain the center pin on a Vic Tinker.

The scissors on the Micra are also awesome, better now than the new SOG Crosscut 2.0 (which makes me sad). In fact, I think the only scissors that are really a great improvement are the ones on the Style CS, and only because of improved ergonomics.

I prefer mine in the plain stainless finish. This finish doesn't get all scratched up over time. I have carried them a lot, and they show no wear after years of use. I dig that.

Also, the backspring/lever system used for the springs of the Micra scissor head (and on all following Leatherman keychain models) always strikes me as a piece of engineering genius.

i agree with everything you mentioned here.


my brother and i used our micras recently to pull out some car seats and other misc parts from our old vehicle. the micra screw bits were solid and was nice because of its small form. it made it super easy to reach between cushions and awkward, hard-to-reach areas. the small flat head was useful for prying some plastic paneling off as well.


i dont mind the design without outside accessible tools either, just because i think the nice rounded edges when closed make it really comfortable the hold.


both my brother and i have the SS versions and we think they look classy and "pro" as well. definitely an amazing little pocket tool for all purposes.

[Monrogue]

I got mine today, which was a pleasant surprise as I didn't think I'd get it until Monday   Mine's red, and I really like the way it looks, even though it will eventually get scratched up over time.  I'm liking all the positive reviews the Micra seems to get   It looks like it will be a useful little addition to my EDC lineup
