Thirdly and this is a little more important, the pliers, whilst nicely sprung, have a little play laterally - meaning that it's possible to close the jaws and the tips not line up perfectly each time! This is not overly concerning but it might mean that if there is play from new it might get worse over time!
The Micra has been around for a while and is extremely popular. It has a good reputation for quality and maintains it by keeping things simple. The scissors in the Micra work better at this size than the pliers on the Dime do, but many people prefer pliers to scissors even so.The lanyard ring is of much greater importance on micro multi tools than full sized ones. The one on the Dime unfortunately doesn’t seem to take this into account. It’s a tiny little ring with a small keyring on it. It makes it very easy to connect to your keychain but also breaks when just a little force is applied to it, leaving you with a keychain multi tool that won’t stay on your keychain anymore. EDC enthusiasts and people who already carry a full size multi tool will enjoy adding this to their daily carry.
Blade - 440A high carbon stainless steel (offering superior blade retention and corrosion resistance) It’s important to understand when reviewing these tools that we were grading on a curve. It’s a given that the tools on the Dime aren’t as capable as those on full sized multi tools. What we’re looking for is how they hold up and function for everyday tasks. Pliers and Wire Cutters That being said, it’s still a useful little tool to have. It feels cheap because it is cheap, coming in at a tiny fraction of the price of a full size multi tool. It’s not going to be the only tool you need, but it is going to be the only tool you always have on you. Secondly, although not a huge one, the blades are not sharp! Not a big one as sharpening will take just a few minutes but still.....!

The Leatherman Micra was one of the earliest micro multi tools to hit the market, being released in 1996. It looks just like someone took Leatherman’s Super Tool and shrunk it down. The big difference between the Micra and the Dime is the substitution of scissors for pliers as the main tool. Other than that it has mostly the same tools in the same sizes. Because of its small size the Gerber Dime doesn’t really have the traditional accessories a larger multi tool would have available. The only real choices available for it are the color and finish options. If I were to take a deep dive into it there are a few points I have noted about it, first point being the finish! I have noted whilst handling it that all the exposed edges are quite sharp, there's been no finishing before the anodising process.
The Gerber Dime doesn’t have a traditional multi tool bottle/can opener combo tool. Instead the body of the tool itself is shaped into a larger bottle opener that works quite well for its intended purpose.

The Gerber Dime was built to be the tool you always have on you. It’s tiny, coming in at 2.8 inches when closed and weighing just 2.2 oz. The tools you’re able to put into something that small will necessarily be less capable and durable than those on full size multi tools. The Gerber Dime is for anyone who wants to make sure they always have at least some tools with them. It gives you a tool at hand to turn a small screw or get a better grip on something. It isn’t going to give you a tool boxes worth of value but it’s not priced at that level. A tiny multi-tool for those who always like to be prepared but don’t want to compromise on weight. Gerber says: The Dime Travel, Gerber’s TSA compliant version of the Dime, replaces the knife blade with a blunt tip file. Scissors and Tweezers
