Tools and Hardware Reviews of Leatherman 64010103K Micra Multitool
Customer Review: A must have for any pocket
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had the Leatherman Micra's for over 5 years now and this one small tool has worked flawlessly time and time again. I am now on my 2nd Micra due to the NTSA at the airport. The didn't care for the small knife on it. If you have any need at any time for small screw drivers or a knife this is the tool for you. It stays in my pocket ready for when I need it.Customer Review: A size and utility sweet spot
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is not good because it is the best knife, tweezers, screwdriver or can-opener, but that it is small and compact enough to fit on a keychain, while retaining a certain level of usefulness. The scissors are quite good and are precise enough for removing hang-nails and strong enough to cut through wires with ease.Customer Review: All tools are very useful, but the scissors get dull easily.
Summary: 4 Stars
All tools in this item are very useful, but the scissors get dull easily. Despite that, I have replaced it twice after confiscation by TSA at the airport. Remember to pack it in your checked luggage (although one was confiscated from that, too in 2003!)Customer Review: Almost perfect for everyday utility
Summary: 4 Stars
I had always carried a small Swiss pocket knife on my keyring, but found myself carrying and using a full size leatherman on the weekends. During the week, when a suit was the uniform of order, a larger leatherman just doesn't look the part. :) So I looked for smaller options. I needed something with a scissors since I cut loose threads, price tags, etc most often. The swiss knives I always found to be a bit too tiny for my large hands and with their small fold out scissors I often wrecklessly just ripped off tags or tried to pull threads instead of fumbling for the scissor. With the leatherman micra, I find myself joyously whipping it open since the scissors are it's primacy function. They have very strong jaws and easily cut through most anything - tags, cardboard, even the occassional speaker wire. The other accessories are useful as well, and are much easier to grip and unfold than the smaller Swiss knives. Knifepoint is exceptionally sharp! The only 2 things I would improve are as follows: 1. Include a small phillips bit. The flathead for phillips screws is...well..counterproductive at best. The very point of the phillips head is limited slip so no flat bit will do the job right. 2. While this sounds odd based on my large hands, it's a bit too big to be ideal. Don't get me wrong, it's not too big, but it took me a few days to get used to being aware that it was in my pockets. And since it's a little heavier (but also sturdier) it tends to bang about a bit when on the keyring and the keys in the ignition. Overall a great product, just a couple of minor tweaks to make this small tool perfect for true everyday use.Customer Review: Always with me
Summary: 5 Stars
This little gem does so many things you have to get used to reminding yourself, "Oh yeah, I can do that" and reach for your pocket. Multiple screwdrivers, scissors, a file, knife, ruler, straightedge, bottle-opener, tweezers (and has been used as a tiny hammer).
Obviously there are bigger multi-tools that do more, but the great thing about this one is that the size is almost like you are not carrying anything. It won't wear out your pockets, or make you look like you are are carrying a small soft drink in your pants.
With Leatherman, quality is never an issue. My only criticism is that there is only one knife blade, and it's not well marked and I don't always come out with it on the first try (something I can easily fix with an etching tool). Still . . . solidly a 5 star mini multi-tool.
