Introducing the Brand New Skeletool CX from Leatherman
Get back to basics -- the very cool basics -- with Leatherman's Skeletool CX. Today’s outdoor enthusiasts want to keep weight and volume to a minimum without sacrificing quality and true functionality, and that's what the Skeletool is all about. Many multitools have multiple options, but they’re often heavier -- and they're loaded with more features than most people actually need on a regular basis. Conversely, pocket knives are light and streamlined, but they render themselves useless when the task calls for a more versatile tool. Enter the new Skeletool platform, offering minimal weight, compact size and endless capabilities.

Key User Features
The Skeletool CX has a large knife blade that can be accessed while the tool is closed; to open it, just place your thumb in the thumbhole at the base of the blade and rotate it out until it's fully extended -- which will engage the safety lock. This locking mechanism is noted with a padlock symbol on the tool. To unlock the blade, press the locking mechanism towards the handle until the blade slides past the lock.

Equipped with a universal bit driver, the Skeletool offers real utility options like no other multitool. To change the tool bits, simply unfold the tool and remove the bit from the bit driver -- and pop it out. And replacing bits is just as easy. Just press a new one into position and you're good to go. There's even a spare bit located in the handle side opposite the knife blade. This tool includes the following bits: Phillips #1 and #2, screwdriver 3/16-inch and 1/4-inch.

In the plier jaws you'll find a hard-wire cutter and a regular wire cutter. The regular wire cutter is great for softer grades of wire, but the hard-wire cutter is excellent for heavier jobs -- like cutting and bending fishhooks.

Multitool Capabilities:
The Skeletool keeps it simple -- and light, and compact, and easy to transport. Why waste time with pointless, heavy add-ons when all the basics are right at your fingertips? With its open hardware, skeletal design and hardy appearance, the Skeletool boasts a premium stainless steel blade, pliers, a universal bit driver, and a carabiner/bottle opener ... and that's it.

Key Tech Specs:
  • Length: 4 inches/10 cm closed
  • Weight: 5 ounces/142 grams
  • Materials: Stainless steel, Tungsten DLC coating, 154CM, carbon fiber (handle scale)
  • Included Bits: Phillips #1 and #2, Screwdriver 3/16-inch and 1/4-inch

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Extreme Tool
First of all, Amazon was SUPER fast with the delivery!WOW!Thanks Amazon!!!

Now for the product review...

I've owned several Leatherman tools in the past and my biggest complaints was they're too heavy and bulky...When I opened this new skeletool, I was pleasantly surprised!It's super light and extremely sturdy!I took this bad boy out for a test run immediately (I've broken 2 of my previous Leathermans. I broke the handle of both of them while using the pliers function). ... Read More

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Everything I need
Finally, Leatherman made a tool that has everything you need without all the crap you don't!The inter-changeable screwdriver bits stay in more securely than the original skeletool.It has a good quality knife and pliers.And, it fits perfectly in a flight suit knife pocket.Also, half the price on Amazon compared to REI.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great all around tool.
There is little this tool can't do. I took it camping the other day and I used it constantly. The blade was super sharp, the bits worked nicely and the pliers had a nice solid feel, not too loose and not too tight. The key thing to remember is this is a multitool and a jack of all trades is a master of none. My buck knife is a much better knife but its bigger and heavier. This is a great all around general tool for light work. The bit add on kit might really extend the range of this device.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A tool for every day
I use this thing every day! I LOVE it, you can't imagine how often you use it until you actually own one.The tool is sooo solid, I promise you'll like it, and if you don't well you haven't owned it long enough and/or you don't keep it on you all the time.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Leatherman Skeletool CX
I bought the Skeletool CX because I've always carried a pocket knife, and the other larger leatherman multitools have to be carried outside the pocket in a sheath. This tool is almost as easy to use as a one bladed pocket knife, with a flick of an index finger to open the blade. The tool is getting easier to open the pliers as I need to use them quite often.
I've had no problems with the driver bit falling out of the tool, as has been written about in previous reviews.
The knife holds a very sharp ... Read More
