Day 1


May is actually a horrible month for me to do a challenge, but there is no way I'm going to miss the inaugural Micra Challenge!  The Micra is, hands down, my favorite Leatherman... no, my favorite multitool!  It was also my first Leatherman waaay back in '97, and I have been carrying one ever since.

I'll be away from my computer for several days this month, and I will also be in a location that doesn't allow any sharp objects for a week.  I'll do my best posting a daily pic, sometimes from a hotel.  :ahhh 

For today's pic, this will be my daily carry.  I bought this one 5 years ago when I finally retired my original Micra that I had been carrying for 20 years.  The black paint shows pocket wear much quicker than stainless, but I don't mind. 🥰

It's nice to have bit of background  ;)

I almost never reach for the Micra, thus the challenge for me is to see if I can learn to love mine as much as you do.... :)

Day 1

I was introduced to a Micra by a co-worker I was training, when I needed a scissors to cut a 20 ga wire for a circuit mod. He had it because he “borrowed” it from his dad and it was Multitool.

This my first Micra, sees action when I travel as I pack on checked luggage stored in a medicine bottle with a style.

Today, I put to use, opening letters for bill pay tasks.  Tried the scissors, but blade functions better.

In my construction job this Micra was a sidekick to a SuperTool300 or a Rebar. 
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Your most welcome.   :cheers:

Some have also stated that they will also have to catch-up due to work / travelling, so no blades allowed.

The main thing is to have the Micra as your first consideration as a tool, you will be surprised just how far it can be pushed and how much it can do.

Hello
Today is day 1 so here is my first pic. Pretty much my first  EDC on a daily basis.

Now I am off to the west island of 'Stralia tomorrow where judging from newspaper stories any form of MT with any form of sharp something will be frowned upon by the local constabulary
I think it best not carry anything then and as I am travelling with cabin baggage only even wiser.
At the start then I will be back on day 6 with a bunch of catch up pictures if that is ok with the rest of the team.  I have a few Micras to share pictures of.

 :cheers:

PD
Nice carry.  I hate how things that use to be common carry are now vilified.  I feel so naked when I have to go without at least a keychain tool.

So ahead of the start of the challenge, I have been carrying the Micra the last few days...just trying to gauge the level it can be pushed....

...some simple gardening to start, but I am just about to start a complete home build this month....so fun times ahead.

(Image removed from quote.)
I love seeing the small tools tested.  Usually it is surprising how much they can handle.

I’ve been debating signing up for this challenge.  It seems the last several fun things I’ve signed up for, in life or on forum, have either been cut short or I couldn’t do because of higher priorities.  But I’m going to give this a shot.

Day 1 of 30:
Had to change out a zone valve motor again, and the ratcheting screwdriver I had couldn't get into the tight space to remove the screw tl release the bad motor. Micra to the rescue! Of course, it also tightened the screw after installing the new motor. Also used the blade to strip a bit of wire.

Day 1

Opened mail today.

I will be a purist with this challenge. I will be doing this challenge with my Micra, and thats it. I am looking forward to the challenge, because I have a feeling that it is going to prove that the Micra is adequate for 90% of what i need, and it’s going to save a lot of weight in my pocket.

More great photos and uses, y'awl! :like: I wonder how long Rich can go in this challenge without buying something?

Day 1

I'm beginning the challenge with three Micras. At left is a green 02/20-03/20. In the middle is a blue Lexan 12/01, gifted to me by Aloha not long after I joined MTo. The red 07/20 is owned by Mrs. FX. Tomorrow will see the green one in action.

Three nice colors!

I am planning to slide through this without a  purchase. I am, I am going to really try.

Got 2 SS models.  The one in hand is 4/13!

Ouch :oops:, just slice my thumb on the blade checking the date code  :facepalm:

 Correction, it’s SS with tint of bright red thumb prints :tu:
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Great pictures everyone and a brilliant start to the Micra challenge, this is going to be a good month  :woohoo:


DAY 2

Wife agreed to taking the primary school ducklings they hatched..... :facepalm:


so during my lunch break yesterday and a sleepless night, I created a hard wood (oak and red wood scraps run up on a table saw) frame and wired it...the Micra helped finish the edges (removing that sharp sawn raw edge with the blade) and removing the odd staple gun rouge staple with the flat head screwdriver.....just need to finish the roof and hatch to get in. 

We collect the ducks on Friday morning.... hopefully I will finish it in time  :dunno:

Might be a wasted effort as we have stoats nearby...but still looking forward to it.

Day 2

Excepting completed cat toys and pace-count beads, polyester paracord is now banned from my house. What better excuse to see how Micra scissors handle paracord?

When the cord is intact, multiple passes are needed. It does much better on the "guts, and only requires two passes on an empty outer shell. I may see if the Micra scissors do any better with nylon paracord, but I suspect that's not really their intended use.

My limited experience with paracord, I have found scissors to be a fail. 
My go to has always been my IZula knifes.
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

I have had three Micras in the past, all the scissors fail. My current one is from 1999 and the scissors are rubbish..... something I will be looking to improve during the challenge
