The Leatherman Micra is a small (keychain size) spring loaded scissor and multi tool. It is small size and light weight make it ideal for pocket or pack. Tools include; Clip Point Knife, Extra-small Screwdriver, Medium Screwdriver, Flat Phillips Screwdriver, Spring-action Scissors, Nail File/Cleaner, Bottle Opener, Ruler and non removable Tweezers. The green version has a plastic cover over the grips which add almost no weight and increase the grip size just a bit. Tools on the Micra are easy to use when the scissors are open, but are not accessible when closed. The Leatherman Micra is about 4 inches long with scissors open, 2-1/2 inches long when folded (closed). The tool is just about 1 inch wide, just under 1/2 inch wide and weighs 1.8 ounces. With the two arms extended the ruler is about 5 inches long (13 cm)

We took a look at this stainless steel pen that costs under $6. It has a fine point (0.7 mm) with a textured steel grip. The Zebra F-701 has a quiet plunger for a silent click. The F701 has a sturdy metal pocket clip. The F701 is refillable with a Zebra F-refill. The refills are available in both Black and Blue in either Fine 0.7mm or Medium 1.0mm. The Zebra F-701 refill comes two in a package for $4

If you carry a pen, do you also carry a pencil? Do you carry a marker? Over the years I have carried cheap pens, no pens and a few expensive pens. If using a pen is something you need to do often each day, a high quality pen is a great tool to carry around. We have recently been carrying multiple pens and markers for various uses. Here are some of them; Yellow Highlighter Marker, Sharpie Fine Point, Silver Fine Tip, Sharpie Ultra Fine Tip, Bic (giveaway), Zebra F-701, Surefire Pen II, and Glock Pen (giveaway)


Bic (giveaway) 0 ounces, Sharpie Silver Fine Tip (0.4-ounces), Zebra F-701 (0.7-ounces) and Surefire Pen II (1.6-ounces)

We had a chance to review some EDC gear from the EDC Depot.com online store. The items arrived in about two days, were packaged well and nothing was damaged. No extra packaging to throw away either. And a FREE spy capsule (pill fob) !!!
We received a TOPs Pocket Size Survival Saw and a Cord Lock Light made by Black Crater. I opened the box and set out threw contents for this photo, and then there was a blur of hands and I had to wait a while to get the items back for more photos.
