Leatherman, need I say more ? Never without one. TSA has re-circulated many of my micra's !Customer Review: Leatherman Micra
Summary: 5 Stars
This lightweight keychain size tool is one of the most usefull multitools I've ever had. The main feature of this is the sizzors. It's easy to get to and great for opening those plastic wrapped items. The only thing I've never used is the can opener. The Micra I purchased at this time was for a gift. I give them to my good friends. I've been carrying mine for over two years, and have one on all my keychains. The workmanship is very good compaired to similar units I have seen. Everything fits together and works well. Amazon has the best price.Customer Review: Leatherman Micra Multitool

Leatherman 64010103K Micra MultitoolPlease DO NOT be deceived by the Leatherman Micra multi tool "64010103K" image posted on the Amazon site.
I received the Micras without the "USA" inscriptions from Amazon.
This is not the older versions of Micra that were manufactured in the USA. The USA version was believed have better quality than the newer models that are manufactured overseas.
So WHY did I have to pay a premium for them vs the 64010101K version which is sold at Amazon at a lower price?
Customer Review: Leatherman Micra... no sheath required
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been the happy owner of a Leatherman Micra Multitool for over a dozen years now, and can easily say that this is one of the handiest gadgets that I've owned. Mine is the original version, the classic 100% stainless steel model, a bit scratched now, but every bit as good as it was the day I got it. There are newer versions, some with aluminum handles and others with an assortment of colored thermal plastic coatings, such as the Leatherman 64250103K Micra Clad with Green Polycarbonate Handles. Whichever one you pick, you're getting a proven pocket multi-tool that will offer you years of great service.
This small multi-tool opens up to expose the spring-loaded scissors (see the photos). The right handle has a small inch/metric ruler, and encases the clip-point knife blade, a medium flat blade screwdriver, and a nail file with a nail cleaner tip. The left handle holds a bottle opener, an extra-small flat blade screwdriver, tweezers, and a flat Phillips screwdriver blade. A lanyard (keychain) attachment is on the base of this handle. I have mine attached to a Micro LED Clear Keychain Light, a handy combination for just about anything.
The scissors are quite sharp, and I've only had to sharpen them once after using them to cut and strip some wires in an emergency condition dealing with a large midrange computer that had gone down. They have been used to cut everything from paper to bandages to gasket material to plastic... the list could go on and on. The various "blades" have proven to be quite useful over the years. The nail file is surprisingly good. The tweezers have come in handy for holding small items, removing splinters from my son's finger and even a small piece of broken glass from mine. Most recently the Phillips blade was used to tighten a screw in my glasses when the lens fell out in the woods.
As with any small multi-tool, one must be careful to use it in a firm but gentle manner as to not bend its components beyond its real limits. I've held the handle of the Micra at 90 degrees to give it some extra torque when when loosening and tightening screws, but be very careful to not force it. Gentle but firm is the point to remember.
Another interesting point is that the Micra has been the subject of some interesting DIY projects. Just see the photos for examples.
For those who prefer a pocket multi-tool with pliers over scissors, there's the Leatherman Squirt P4 Multitool with Small Pliers, which is also available in a variety of colors. Also quite worthy of consideration is the reasonably-priced Gerber Clutch Mini Pliers Tool, an exceptionally good pocket multi-tool that is also supplied in an array of colors.
Whichever one you choose, remember that these are small, pocketable multi-tools, better suited to be on a lanyard or keyring that in a belt pouch or case. Their true versatility comes from the fact that they are so small, compact and handy. They're still made in the USA, and all Leatherman products are covered by a 25-year limited warranty. It makes an excellent gift for just about anyone, as so many others have noted.
And no, there's no sheath required with this one.
