Title. I'd go for the leatherman micra but they have scisors instead of needlenose pliers like most multi tools and I haven't had any luck finding any myself :(

The wonder of scaled sorting unearthed this post for me

I have a Nextool mini flagship, that not only have a main tool pliers and a nail file, it also has main tool scissors. Unfortunately the nail file is useless. Expected for the price

Another Chinese brand that I can think of is Roxon. They have a few mini plred based multitools. I think they have files. Though I fail to remember specific models

How about a sog powerpint if you don't want a double headed pliers and scissors multi tool. It has pliers as the main tool and a file

Is It crazy of me to suggest you just get nail files/emery boards and stash them everywhere

That’s what me and bae do and it works pretty well! I acknowledge this doesn’t directly answer your question but I am curious what you think

There's gotta be some Leatherman model with a file and pliers.

OP specified a nail file, and that has a wood/metal file.

I'm probably about the last person to ask about nail files, I'm not sure if it would do the trick in a pinch, but when I look at the wood and metal files I have around my workshop and at my wife's nail files, my files are mostly a lot more aggressive than a nail file.

It'll do, mostly. Just have to be slow and careful.

diamond file on leatherman wave is the best nail file you can get 😁

There's a few Chinese ones if you don't mind. I'd have to go look in my bookmarks, I can't remember them off the top of my head
