Leatherman Micra vs Buck MiniTool

[Thomas J Ekman]

I have the Buck MiniTool, actually two of them, since there was a sale at Fällkniven (http://www.fallkniven.com).
I saw that the Micra offers similar tools in a similar format.
Among those of you who have both, which ones to you prefer?
Which one has the most rugged set of tools?

I'm not sure the word "rugged" could fairly applied to either
of these tools. They are both small keyring tools aimed at very
different needs / market.

The micra gets an A+ for very good scissors along with some
very good lightweight keyring tools.

The Buck on the is a wanna be tiny pliers that has no other
use and a weak selection of tools even for a keyring tool.
I traded mine away to get rid of it.

Be that as it may, if you enoy your tool that's a good enough
reason to own it, mate.

What is the size difference??
I know that the Buck is longer but is it "wider"??
(If anyone has both PLEASE post a pic!)

Hands down...the Leatherman Micra. It's a very useful tool. -Rick

Another vote for the Leatherman Micra.

I've had mine for a few months now, and I never figured that those scissors would be so handy.

not to scale

looks better on a white backround

Leatherman Micra...No contest! (I've been carrying mine for the past couple years, and I NEVER "leave home without it".).

I have carried both. I'd have to pick the Micra, but I much prefer the SOG CrossCut to either.

I would pick Micra, but for mini-plier tool I prefer SeberTech M4.
