The sleek new Leatherman Skeletool CX gets you back to basics, very cool basics. The Skeletool CX has only the most necessary of multi-tool features, because sometimes that's all you need. With a 154CM combo stainless steel blade, pliers, bit driver, pocket clip and carabiner/bottle opener, you're set. Lightweight, low volume, perfect size. The Skeletool CX: Who says more is better?
Has everything you REALLY need
Pros: 1. Superb craftsmanship 2. Blade and tools are very sturdy and precise 3. Lightweight and slim/elegant profile 4. Looks super cool, esp. with the carbon fiber Cons: 1. Ergonomics of drivers could use improvement. There's quite a bit of offset of the driver head from the handle. 2. It looks so cool that it would be gone in a split second if you accidentally left it out unattended. I bought the CX model instead of the regular Skeletool for the serrated blade.
Get one!
Purchased the Skeletool from Altrec. It was light weight and the perfect companion for me for some backcountry overnighters. Thanks to Altrec for quick shipping!
Simple and the blade is Sharp!
Great knife! If you're like me and never use all those other accessories in the standard leatherman, then this is the knife for you! The 154CM blade lives up to its reputation. The blade, the pliers and the screw driver... the only tools you'll ever really use... efficient!
Best lightweight pocket tool!
I use this thing for everyday use. The knife is super sharp and small. I use it to cut open packages and letters. The pliers are helpful in many situations. I love the wire cutters because I used them to cut off my friend's and mine lift tickets when snowboarding. The only gripe I have is that the carabiner is not reliable enough. This is my 2nd Skeletool because I lost my 1st one when it was hooked onto my belt loop while I was running and didn't realize that it fell off. The screwdriver is not perfect, but it had its uses in some circumstances. Overall, all the tools, its size, and weight are perfect for what I need. That's why I bought another. Just have to remember to keep in my pocket and not dangling. Don't want to lose another one.
