Which do you prefer for EDC Mini-Tool, Squirt or Micra?

For EDC I prefer the Micra (on a key ring in my case). My main reason is that scissors are needed more often for everyday chores than a small set of pliers. Bare in mind that I also have a Super Tool and Juice when I do need pliers and the like.
 
I carry a blue Squirt w/ the scissors every day. I much prefer it to the Micra, if only for the fact that all of the tools are accessible from the outside of the handles. Plus it's just a tad smaller than the Micra.

I like it alot, especially the scissors. Everthing seems to work great on it. My only complaint is that the phillips head screwdriver was not heat treated well enough and it dented inwards on the sides.

I carry a SOG CrossCut in its' slip-cover in the watch pocket of my Levis.
 
I carry the blue squirt with scissors on my keychain and it gets my vote. I like the accessible tools...plus the anodized aluminum just looks nicer than a micra:) .
 
sog crossgrip or crosscut gets my vote. i esp like the crossgrip, for the size its a really useful tool.
 
Hmmm...tough choice.

I like having the knife blade on the outside of the Squirt, because it requires less gyrations to open when I want a small, discrete blade.

However, I like having the other tools on the inside of the Micra, so that if I slip or the tool folds up, it closes on the handle rather than my fingers.

I carry one or the other pretty regularly.
 
The Squirt S4 in grey replaced my Micra. I do like the Squirt because of the removeable tweezers and ease of access to the tools. The only thing that bothers me is that the tools, and knife, can close on your fingers.
 
I like the P4 Squirt myself. I prefer it because I always carry a SAK with scissors anyway, and those little bitty spring loaded pliers on the P4 have come in mighty handy a couple times. I have had a couple Micras, but I never seem to hang onto them.

Maybe the P4's pliers have given it an better grip on my pocket?!?! :D
