Mexican Vacation Enhancer

Thanks for making such great tools...I have several Leathermans, including the original PST back from the early 80s, a New Wave, and a couple of Micras...all excellent products.

On a recent trip to Mexico for vacation, my wife and I were placed in an oceanfront room with a fantastic view, but unfortunately, the "sliding" glass windows had a locks on them which only allowed minimal opening. Fortunately, I had packed my Leatherman Micra in the bag just for such issues. I opened the small screwdriver and within a few minutes had both window locks off, allowing us to have an unobstructed view (and sounds) of the ocean.

Of course, upon checking out, I again used the Micra to reattach the locks for the next visitor. Without the Micra, the vacation would have been much less enjoyable. Of course, the Micra will always be with me on all future trips.
