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 The tool is comprised of stainless steel so of course it will not rust and comes with a 25 year warranty incase anything goes...

Advantages: Well Built, Does what it says on the tin.
Disadvantages: Umm.... I will get back to you.

...I did alot of research before I bought this product and it has more than paid me back. The charge is Leatherman's premium multi-tool and I must say it shows. The quality of the tool is exceptional, with knives being extremely sharp and tool's being very durable. The tools are all well laid out and I particularly like the way you can access the blades without opening the tool. The locking blades and tools do just that. The unit itself has a very solid feel about it and I know it is going to last me a long long time. It is something I can see myself passing onto my son when he is ready. Leatherman Customer Service also works well as they soon emailed me back when I had a query about how to store the product. The only worry I had was the initial price but having seen the Charge, I was convinced it was well worth... Read review

Advantages: Many uses, small, light
Disadvantages: Ruler not so good

...The Leatherman Micra is one of those invaluable little tools that once you use, you find it hard to live without. Mine was bought for my birthday by my step dad after I kept borrowing his. It is very useful to have in your pocket around the house, especially when trying to open up boxes or packets. The Features The Leatherman Micra has the following features: * Scissors * Knife (about 4cm blade) * Tweezers (useful for splinters) * Nail file with a hook thing for cleaning them as well * Flat screwdriver designed to fit Phillips screws * Extra small screwdriver (useful for those extra small screws) * Medium screwdriver * Bottle Opener * Ruler (inch/metric) (though this is not very easy to use) As you can see, this knife has all of the features that you are likely to need for general use around the home. The knife... Read review

Advantages: High build quality and components, Brilliant warranty service
Disadvantages: High Cost

...When the leatherman tool company launched its first product, the PST it revolutionised the pocket knife market as it incorporated not only a good quality blade of reasonable length, but also incorporated a set of full sized pliars, something never done before. The PST, PSTII and Supertool soon became a sucess but one feature they all had in common was the "sharp" or thin handle edges. When applying pressure whilst using the pliars the user would find the thin steel digging into their palms - not exactly a pleasing sensation. The Wave was designed to combat this problem, plus a number of others. In recent years many other manufacturers began to incorporate new features such as one handed blade openings, something that all leathermans were at a distinct disadvantage as all blades were enclosed within the handles. Not so on the wave... Read review

Advantages: Small, light, blade quite sharp, a brilliant key ring tool
Disadvantages: Smaller Blades, tweezers pointless

...Lets get one thing straight : the Micra is not in the Same league as its bigger brothers from the Leatherman Family : The Wave, Pulse, PST. PST 200 etc. It was the first of a series of smaller tools that had the same "fold out" design that was aimed at the "Office Warrior/Survival Expert". This range has expanded to 3/4 size tools (The Juic
