Tools & Hardware : Leatherman 64010103K Micra MultitoolIn association with Amazon.comRating:  - Mini Leatherman Nice little knife for carrying around on the street or in the office. The scissors work, and the knife is adequate for opening boxes, etc. The rest of the items (nail file, screwdriver blades, tweezers) and just fluff that I may never use, but I consider this item, at $10.00 + shipping, to be a good value. If they would just make a small tool that had only a scissor and a knife, I'd buy more than one! Rating:  - I use it almost dailyI ordered this because it was on sale and I thought it would be good to keep in the car. When it arrived, I put it in my pocket until I was in the car. Before I needed the car, I had a package to open, so I tried the little knife and impressed, I spent a little time really checking it out. The tool gained a place on my keyring instead of in the console of the car. I use it almost daily. Rating: - Fantastic tool, especially for the price!You really don't know how addictive this thing is until you lose it. This is my second. I lost my first one while moving...without it for 4 months and at least every other day I was reaching into my pocket needing it. The tool is well machined, everything works far beyond normal expectations. You wouldn't think that small scissors would be so handy but these things are sharp, durable and cut through most wire and heavy plastic very easily...and yes, even paper. The size is perfect, a bit smaller than my 4GB USB memory stick. I had my first one for 5 years and never had a problem other than the stupidity of losing it. This is truly a tool that you don't know you need until you have used it for a week. Rating: - Great tool for the pocketI have carried this model in my pocket for years. Not much larger than a key chain fob. Hardly a day goes by when it doesn't help. It is compact for pocket or purse, yet contains almost all the tools necessary for everyday needs. Rating: - handy addition to the keychainI've got a full-size Leatherman that I take with me on planned trips, so I'm a big fan of the "got everything you need in one tool" approach to readiness. When I picked up the Micra via an Amazon Gold Box special, I had no idea just how much I'd be using this thing everyday. It's small, but hefty, so my key chain is a lot more substantial than it used to be. However, having ready access to scissors, a blade, tweezers and (I didn't know I'd need it so much) the 4.5 inch ruler engraved on the outside has been a real convenience I didn't know I was missing. The only downside? When traveling, I have to leave this thing at home so the TSA folks don't steal it away from me. I'd really appreciate having this thing with me on the road, but I don't want to have to check a bag to enable it. |
