    Which is most useful to stick on a keychain?

    I’ve had the same micro for approx 15years since buying it the States, would replace asap if I forgot to pack my keys in hold luggage.

    Tweezers for pulling splinters & ingrowing hairs, small knife for opening taped boxes/parcels, scissors for cutting wife’s clothing tags/loose threads/pubic hairs, bottle opener for….. great little thing.

    Micra has great scissors. Probs some of the best on a multitool imho.

    The Style PS is also a great little bit of kit. Or slightly more expensive and larger, the Juice S2.

    I have the micra on two of my keyrings. Great scissors, rubbish knife, but I would replace in a second if I ever lost it.

    If you don’t need the pliers then why not just a small victorinox?
    I’ve got the small Gerber equivalent which is decent.

    If you want pliers then the squirt if not then the micra. I went with the squirt as a set of pliers was the only thing lacking in my ride toolkit. Came in handy the very next ride I went on sorting a bent chainring tooth.

    I don’t know, but if you are looking for a new pouch for it like i was for my Wave, don’t just type “Leatherman” into Google……..

    I have both, Micra was on my keys for many many years (it’s old enough that it’s been through airport security pre 9/11), kids (wife) bought me a Squirt PS4 as a present a couple of years ago, been using that since. Not that it’s better, just different. The pliers are handy, especially on the bike, but the micra scissors are way better. So the answer to the question which is better, is the question do you want scissors or pliers (with very small shit scissors).

    Had the micra for years then lost keys a month ago which is why I was asking
    Micra turned up today!

    My thoughts were
    Tweezers on micra get use
    Benefit of pliers on squirt, might substitute for tweezers for certain things
    Better scissors on micra
    Tools accessible from outside of squirt

    +1 – had mine for about 10 years – use it daily.

    Worth bearing in mind that the stainless Micra is smaller. The ano. coloured ones are the same stainless construction, but with an extra ally wrap.
