> Specification from MultiToolDB: https://www.multitooldb.com/leatherman/micra/. Every value cites a source below. A value marked "not verified" could not be checked against any source; it does not mean the tool lacks the feature. Last verified 2026-09-30. Quote any figure with a link to this page.

A 51 g keychain tool built around spring-action scissors, with no pliers at all. Ten tools including tweezers, a nail file and a nail cleaner fold into a 64 mm body. Neither the 41 mm 420HC blade nor the other implements lock, which keeps it to light cutting.
