Another option would be grabbing this and just removing the clippers from the rest of the multitool (Or keeping it in tact if you feel the rest is useful - looks like shipping weight is only .6oz).

The comments say the clippers aren't removable but I'm fairly positive those people are referring to if they're "easily" removable. I almost guarantee if you're willing to open that thing up (And possibly destroy it) you can get them out, or you could just cut them off with some tin snips or a dremel tool with a cutting wheel or similar, I'd bet.

Victorinox Swiss Army Nail Clip 580 Swiss Army Knife, Red

no bullshit tools . just the basic ones people actually use

kinda heavy but about the same weight when you weigh all the real tools - a knife, clippers, ect

Edit - Just seen your edit, and I should definitely pay more attention to the body of posts. Enjoy the 580! I'm going to keep this up incase other people might find it useful.

If you're grooming nails or beard I'd say the Micra given its focus on scissors as a primary tool however, due to the extra width from the additional tools, it's a little bulky. Something like the Victorinox Classic SD may be much more manageable size-wise, and it has the benefit of carrying both tweezers and the toothpick, however the scissors may be a little small for beard trimming.

In a similar vein to the Micra, the Squirt PS4 is a little bulky, but has a very usable nail (wood/metal) file, as well as a cracking little knife; unfortunately the scissors tend to have a 'wobble' between the blades, meaning that unless you're paying attention to what you're cutting, you can have a gap between the scissor blades as you're closing the scissors, giving a poor, unclean cut (and giving you a rough nail if you're in the process of clipping). The Classic SD doesn't suffer from this given the scissor blades close flushly.

Looking at the comments, the Victorinox 580 looks like a winner, however (this is pure IIRC) the scissor spring in this may be more susceptible to breaking under heavy torque, over the type in the Victorinox Executive, which also has a couple of other tools. Although the Executive annoyingly has the knife opening toward the keys (however the scissors open away from it, so for your purposes this might not be an issue). A potential solution to this would be to go with the Victorinox Rambler, which has all the benefits of the Classic SD, is a tiny tiny tiny tiny bit thicker, and it comes with the combo tool which includes a magnetised (head) Phillips screwdriver, bottle opener, and wire cutter. That last tool has absolutely nothing to do with beard/nail trimming, but it may be useful in initially lining up screws which you can then drive in with the Skeletool.

I'm in a very similar boat to you and I've just decided to give up on my PS4 because the scissors just piss me off when I'm trying to use them with my left hand. I have a Classic SD which I took out of rotation due to wanting something a little sturdier, but ironically (given the play in the PS4 scissors), I feel like the scissors on that might be better. Because I love Leatherman and primarily find myself using the scissors more than any other tool, I'm giving the Micra a shot, but for tweezers I've just bought an Uncle Bill's seen as I end up dealing with splinters more than anything else..

Chances are it's going to come full circle and I'll end up back at the Classic SD I already own, but half the fun of multitools/EDC is experimenting with what works, and I know I'll have a couple of kickarse tools waiting in the wing if I want to mix it up again. That said, the Rambler does look pretty tempting!
