Advantages: Small enough for everyday use Disadvantages: No trademark pliers
...I needed a leatherman that was small enough for everyday use, be it for opening packages or fixing something small. I decided that my Pulse just wasnt suitable to carry around with me so i decided on buying either the micra or the new squirt.
I opted for the micra due to its array of other features, but it lacked what i loved about Leathermans, pliers. I was stuck with a great tool, lots of features, but no pliers, just scissors.
Features:
The micra does have a wide range of features:
Scissors
Knife
Tweezers
Nail File/Cleaner
Flat Phillips Screwdriver
Extra-Small Screwdriver
Medium Screwdriver
Bottle Opener
Ruler (inch/metric)
Lanyard Attachment
Weight: 1.75 ounces
Length: 2.5 inches

Advantages: Sharp serrated blade, attractive design. Disadvantages: None that spring to mind.
...I am a little bit sad. You see, I'm a pen knife anorak...
I have four of the things, and use them for camping trips, jobs around the house and those bizarre tasks that pop up from time to time (ever got a lump of chewing gum stuck to your shoe before a meeting?!?) In short - I KNOW about penknives.
Features of the Victorinox Swiss Army Century Swiss Army Knife
Serrated/Straight blade - this is pulled out from the cover by gripping a little groove on the back of the blade. It is made of stainless steel, so it won't rust, and it "locks" when it is in line with the handle. The blade is 4" long and has about 60% serrated edge and 40% straightedge. It is an incredibly sharp blade that cuts just about anything - string...
