Dude, what a bum. I'm sorry you had to go through this frightening experience. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Where exactly in NYC did that happen? I hope you didn't sustain permanent tissue damage or anything.

Leatherman also make the Squirt. The Squirt with pliers is called P4 and the Squirt with the scissors is called S4. Other than that, the other features are the same. I have considered switching to the S4 myself but hey, the Micra gets the job done. I think you would be very satisfied with a P4 because most of the tools can be accessed without turning the thing inside-out as with the Micra.

Have a good one! <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
