EDC Scissor Multitool Thought
I was looking for a scissor Multitool and watched videos on the Leatherman Micra and Gerber Splice, but I saw nothing on the Defiance Scissor Multitool, so I picked up all 3 and give my thoughts.

I’ve been looking for small scissors for edc, and came across this review. Thank you!! I just ordered from Defiance using your link. I feel like I’m $30 poorer, but otherwise richer. Again, thanks. Looking forward to receiving my tools.
Well it’s a week or two since posting the video above. I have used this tool daily, knife, scissors, and file portions.
I had to cut zip ties off air hoses and hydraulic hoses yesterday and it was a snap, must have cut through at least 50 of them with the scissors.
Used the knife to break down a ton of boxes as well.
I am still happy with these scissors!
I have 2 roxon scissor tools that are great. Ks2 and m3. Great quality and value - worth a look!
You’re the second person who’s told me about those! I’ll have to take a look! Thank you!
Defiance is a new brand to me. I have been researching and watching many multitool reviewers and never saw this before.
The LM Micra is a terrible scissor. You pointed out one of its many failings. Cost is also ridiculous for its terrible performance.
I am liking the defiance tool. Especially with the micro driver.
You should try a cut test with the scissors on different hard to soft things.
I personally use Nextool products with a low price point and great scissors.
Consider keychain sized Victorinox. Look at the Rambler or the Mini Champ Alox.
Will do!
Yeah that's disappointing with the Micra. I had the same issue on the much smaller scissors on my Leatherman Squirt PS4, they couldn't cut fine materials like cotton thread as it would just fold between the blades, and they weren't up to cutting thicker stuff like cardboard or paracord either. Then the spring broke so they're now completely useless. As it's discontinued now, if I send it in to the UK Leatherman dealership, they'll send me a Micra back. I don't know what to do and either way it's not the best outcome, unless I got lucky with a Micra and it did cut better than yours.
However the Nextool Mini Flagship has similar shaped and sized scissors as the Micra and Splice, and they are excellent. I don't know if you know Maxlvledc channel but he tested a number of multitool scissors and those came out on top. Additionally the Mini Flagship has small pliers like those on the LM Squirt/Gerber Dime. I've had mine a couple of years now and I don't carry it every day, more like a few days a month as I have a lot of other EDC gear, but it can do any job I come across, within the limits of it's size. The little 2D Phillips on it is surprisingly good, way better than the one on the Squirt and presumably the Micra too.
Awesome! Thank you for your comment. I work in a beef plant and am always using my Leatherman Signal - but have taken this defiance scissor multitool out almost everyday these last two weeks for certain jobs.
I’ve also used the tweezers on the Micra to take a splinter out.
I’ll check out Maxlvledc!
I am the same as you. I enjoy the Nextool mini flagship. A bit big for a keychain but I carry it on my fanny pack with a magnetic attachment. I really like the pliers and scissors design. I use the scissors on zip ties and plastic wrapping and string or cordage. Usually it cuts it all easily. Only thing is soft plastic wrapping has been bending between the blades and not cutting. If held taut, the plastic can be cut.
Still way better than a Micra.
I love my defiance tools🤙
As an update two days after this video was made, my wife informed me that the Gerber Splice has failed, breaking apart at the scissor pivot.
Can you explain what objects she was cutting? I’d like to know the limits of the splice. I have them as Xmas gifts in the past.
She grabbed them to cut up a gift card/credit card.
I bought a Gerber Splice and it was unusable. Almost impossible to open the tools and the screws were stripped so I couldn’t adjust it. Threw it in the trash.
Yeah, I am sincerely disappointed in the Gerber Splice - I need to figure out this TH-cam thing - see if I can add an update to the video, the Splice I had given to my son, and yesterday it had a catastrophic failure. The pin broke, and the tool split in half.
Yep, that's been my experience with the Gerber Dime, Splice, and Vise.
Eventually them all away and I just don't buy Gerber anymore, cause their quality is utter crap.
They should really make a micra with pliers. I’d rock a multitool that says Micra P on the side ! Hahaha. Honestly I have a micra and the scissors aren’t the best. It’s the sleekest with the most pleasing appearance.
I mean they kind of did, the Squirt.
