Summary

Pound for pound the best multi-tool to date! Sufficient for repairs on the trail, and as a first aid-aid!

Pros

Extremely lightweight
Well made for long-term use

Cons

So small, it's easy to 'get' yourself with the screwdriver

I've owned this Micra for over fifteen years, and would never consider replacing it with another multi-tool. It has enough tools to make a repair in the rough. Routinely inspecting my gear before a trip usually has alleviated any needs for pliers, full size screw drivers, etc. It's handy for removing splinters/making an incision for first aid. The scissors cut moleskin just fine! It can be easy to cut/lacerate yourself because its so small, so patience and care really come into play here in life...

The scissors and blade still hold an edge, nothing has broken on the tool as long as I've owned it... 'nuff said!
