Introduced in 1996, the Leatherman Micra® is our most popular mini multi-tool. A hit with anglers, hobbyists and those who appreciate the best spring-action scissors around. In fact, Micra was the first Leatherman multi-tool to have spring-action scissors as a primary feature. Personal care features that fit on your key chain are just part of what makes the Micra truly unique. Ten useful tools are packed into this tiny, lightweight Leatherman.

Ideal for first-time multi-tool owners, you may wonder how you ever lived without it.

Portability is key with a mini multi-tool. Micra manages to pack 10 essential tools into a compact design weighing less than two ounces (about the weight of two AA batteries, for reference). Whether in a pockets or on a keychain, it’s literally always there when you need it. Total win.

3. Spring-action scissors

Sturdy and easy to use, these scissors are some of our best. Everyday cutting jobs are no problem, and there’s plenty of spring back which makes them more comfortable and accurate.

Here’s what people have to say about the Micra®.

“As a mother, I use this every single day. I call it my ‘pocket scissors.’ I love it. I put it on my keychain and always have it with me when needed. The tweezers come in handy more than you would think, too.”—Laura P.

“I love having this Micra on my keychain. The knife, screwdrivers, and especially the scissors come in handy all the time!”—Philip P.

“Tiny yet mighty! Let’s just get this out of the way—I *love* the Micra. My family *loves* the Micra. Each member of the family has one, and each of my bags has one. The reason why is because it is so versatile, and so light and easy to carry. The scissors and blade are nice and sharp, and the bottle opener comes in handy, too. It is light and compact, so it is easy to find a place for it no matter where you go.”—Mathew L.

TINY, YET MIGHTY!

Mathew L. said it best, and we happen to agree. No matter how you plan to use it (or gift it), the super practical and keychain-sized Micra is a great first-time tool or addition to your full-sized multi-tool collection. But we could talk all day. Best to just try it for yourself.
