I currently use a Victorinox Minichamp, and I'm wondering if it's worth upgrading to another minitool:
Leatherman Micra :
http://www.epinions.com/hmgd-review-38DA-C826E7C-39E6EDDC-prod1 :
"Pros
Tool selection,size.
Cons
Scissors not stellar,prone to rust.
In conclusion,the Micra just didn't make the cut to stay on the keyring. For less money,you can get a Swiss Army knife that will do everything the Micra does,and is smaller and lighter to boot."
http://www.equipped.org/micra.htm :
"If I were the production manager at either Wenger or Victorinox, I'd be cutting back drastically on the smallest models like the Victorinox Classic and Executive and Wenger Esquire. The new Leatherman "Micra" is going to eat their lunch. While it isn't quite perfect, it quickly supplanted the Victorinox Executive I normally carried."
http://www.woodnet.net/toolreviews/multi.html :
"Based on the quality of construction and features in a small package, our testers overwhelmingly chose the Leatherman Micra and SOG Crosscut as the tools they’d most like to carry."
SOG crosscut :
http://www.epinions.com/content_15958773380 :
"Pros
Small, Light weight, Great scissors
Cons
Knife doesn't lock
The Bottom Line
I would recommend the SOG Crosscut because it is very useful on a day to day basis, and has exceptional scissors.
[...]
On closer examination, I found that the SOG has much better scissors than the Leatherman. The SOG's were a little bigger, opened wider, and had a more precise spring mechanism. I had found that occasionally it was hard to use the scissors on my Micra because they would not always spring back while I was cutting. Because I use my scissors every day, this was an important feature. "
Leatherman Squirt :
http://www.epinions.com/content_85797408388 :
"Pros
High quality, small size, good warranty.
Cons
Aluminum sides, flimsy looking key ring.
The Bottom Line
Compact, light-weight, and everything you would ever need in a size that fits easily on a key ring and into a pocket."
http://www.epinions.com/content_81116565124 :
"Pros
Looks sharp, quality steel, great pliers, small size
Cons
Could have more tools, cheesy single blade phillips
The Bottom Line
Save your money, unless you are making a fashion statement. The Sabertech knife/ pliers combo is a better, more durable design."
Sebertech M4 :
"Pros
Size,tool selection,locking tools.
Cons
Jaws could be more tapered."
