OK--here it is...I have a LM Micra and I give it about 7 on the ol' 1 to 10 scale. I have a guy at work who wants to buy it, so I am wondering what I should replace it with. I carry a blade (OF COURSE) so the most important parts to me are these:
scissors, tweezers, small screwdrivers (flat and phillips) and a possible small pair of pliers (may be asking for too much.)
What fits the bill...anything?

Please advise and thank you.

I'm not sure about what will replace the micra considering about how small it is. Especially one with scissors and pliers. Basically if you want both, the main part will be a plier and the scissors will have to be an extra on the side. Just keep this in mind...good luck

Buck carries a mini that might fill the bill,

So much tool, so little size! The MiniBuck Tool is the only mini multi-purpose tool
with both scissors and pliers, plus 8 other useful tools. The MiniBuck Tool has been
designed with the same commitment to excellence and innovation that made the
BuckTool "Knife of the Year". Like all Buck knives, this tough and durable tool is
backed by Buck's Lifetime Warranty.

Swiss Army Knife. You can certainly find what you're looking for with Victorinox. My little SAK Mini-Champ II has everything you listed except for the pliers. It also has a retractable blue ink pen that uses replacable cartridges. Plus it's only 2.25" long - the same length as the SAK Classic model that has adorned keychains for years. Here's a link to one:

Victorinox Mini-Champ II

Get two - SwissTech Original Pliers and the Ulility Key. Just no tweezers. Takes up little space on the keychain and is infinitely useful.

Depending on how "mini" you want, Sebertech has some pretty fair offerings. I've owned and used one of the plain models and had good success with it until I tried to do a big job. Stripped it all to hell.

I just carry the Leatherman Mini, and use the pliers part of the needlenose when I need cranking power...
