Have had a Micra for a long time and use it all the time. Small blade very sharp. Use the small srew driver all the time to fix glasses, radios, small toys for the kids. The larger plain tip have used to pry small thing apart. After you use the scissors for a while they do become loose but thats after cutting spider wire, speaker wire, and cardboard spacers. Will by another if this one wears out. Have never seen the Schrade. <br><br> Rick<br>Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional.<br><br>
