Amazon.com Product Description

Leatherman packs the full-size Skeletool with the tools you're likely to use most often.

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


Leatherman makes a full range of complementary accessories and add-ons for this and other Leatherman products.

Optional Accessories (not included)
Spice up your Skeletool with genuine Leatherman accessories. Options include a bit kit that offers 21 double-ended bits for real versatility. From new belt sheaths to t-shirts and caps, genuine Leatherman accessories are durable, fun and show that you're a part of Leatherman World. With such a wide variety available, it's easy to find just the add-on that's right for you.

Warranty
All Leatherman products are covered by a 25-year limited warranty. If within 25 years from the purchase date of your genuine Leatherman tool you find any defect in material or workmanship, you can count on the manufacturer to make it right with fast warranty service. To obtain warranty service, return your tool to Leatherman Tool Group. Depending on the tool defect, they will decide whether to repair your tool or replace it with a product of equal or greater value. No variations, upgrades or refunds are offered.

The Leatherman Tool Group and its History of Quality
In 1975, Leatherman Tool Group founder Tim Leatherman was inspired by leaky pipes and a cranky car on a budget trip to Europe -- and thus the idea for his first pocket survival tool was conceived. Since then, Leatherman has become an internationally recognized company with hundreds of employees and a wide variety of durable, versatile, stylish products. Created with bold designs and truly rugged construction, Leatherman products are a perfect addition for tool kits, emergency sets, and glove compartments everywhere.

5 out of 5 stars Leatherman Skeletool CX   September 2, 2008
Spoon (Thompson, CT)
A light and reduced feature Leatherman tool. The main tool has only the multi-use pliers, a knife blade, and a bottle opener/caribiner clip. A bit receiver uses the two double-sided bits included and all but one of the bits in the separate Leatherman bit kit I purchased at the same time (the eyeglass bit in the kit won't work with this tool, though). This tool is much lighter than my Wave but certainly better looking; fits the hand nicely. When clipped onto my pants pocket it's easy to forget it's there. A good substitution for a pocket knife if you're used to a larger knife.


5 out of 5 stars Light in weight but not in features!   August 31, 2008
James A. Mills (Chico, CA)
I have a Leatherman Charge TTI that I use as my primary multitool, but I wanted something that I could carry with me that wouldn't be quite so heavy.

The Leatherman Skeletool CX fit that bill perfectly! It is much lighter and slimmer than a full size multitool, but retains an amazing amount of functionality and tool options.

Although I do use my Charge TTI for various tasks, I use my Skeletool more! It can handle most anything you throw at it.

Build quality and fit/finish is great, it feels nice in the hand, and it looks awesome! Anyone who sees it will have questions for you and inevitably want to hold it.



5 out of 5 stars The most useful multitool yet!   August 31, 2008
Ali R. Hesami (Richmond, Va USA)
This is by far the most useful multitool I've ever owned. It has just what most people need on a daily basis, and is consequently much lighter than the others. Buy the other ones if you really need a corkscrew, leather punch, wood saw, toothpick, etc.
I chose the CX version mainly because of its serrated edge blade, and the tungsten coating is nice looking as well, although I'm sure it will wear off with use, as do most coatings.
You can save a bit of cash if you can do without the serrated blade and fancy coating. Either way, you can be sure you'll use and love this multitool.



5 out of 5 stars minimalist tool that gets it done.   August 31, 2008
Carlos Valencia
I had been in search of a new Leatherman tool for a couple of weeks when I encountered the Skeletool. I liked the tool as soon as I saw it. I was wanting a smaller Leatherman than my Surge and this was it. The skeletool has just enough functionality for my own needs and is lightweight. The blade is partially serated and is sharp as a razor. The pliers work well and the easy to deploy screw driver is excellent. For those that only need the basics this is the one for you. I like this tool and am glad I found it. The pliers are still on the tight side but that is normal for Leatherman. The only thing I would complain about is the tool does not come with a sheath of any kind. I ended up using an old sheath I had from a previous Leatherman.


5 out of 5 stars indispensible companion   August 30, 2008
D. Collier (Baltimore, MD United States)
clips right to my pocket. I never even feel its there. The knife is sharp as all get out. The needlenose pliers and interchangeable scredriver attachment get used all the time. The whole thing looks cool, is solidly built and well designed. I will never be without this thing again. My only issue, and its a minor one, is that sometimes the knife can be hard to get out. I think that may be due to lint or dirt buildup. I just have to use extra pressure every now and then and then I spray it with an air can.
