Product Description
MULTI TOOL, SKELETOOL CX, STAINLESS,

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 straight 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 The multi-tool you will actually carry everyday   August 31, 2010
M. Russell (SAN ANTONIO, TX, USA)
I have several multi-tools that do more than this, but this one I carry everyday.It is light and the pocket clip keeps it away from my keys and phone. Be careful the knife is VERY sharp.


5 out of 5 stars Good tool, but...   August 30, 2010

This is a great tool, all the essentials, none of the garbage. Also, it doesn't need a holster since it clips right to your belt - which is nice.
Shame on Amazon for taking a week to ship this. They used to ship items within a day, but they've been stretching their dates out further and further over the years - probably to urge people to pay for shipping. Again, shame on Amazon.

My son's graduation present. I am assured by my son that the leatherman skeletool CX Multitool is the best pocket multitool he could have so that's what I ordered when he passed his phase 1 army training and many thanks to the seller for the prompt dispatch so he could take it on to phase 2.
He is very pleased and assures me it lives up to it's reputation.

Works like a charm in all the ways listed. It's extremely useful to have lying around in a college dorm, as the screwdrivers, bottle opener, and knife are used frequently. Couldn't have asked for more.


4 out of 5 stars Does exactly what you need it to!   August 22, 2010
netzotic (Salisbury MD USA)
For me, it was important to have a quality tool that was able to do a few things reasonably well, and the Skeletool does the job. The big Leatherman models have a lot more tools, but they are a lot heavier and many tend to do a poor job with their intended functions. If you want a minimalist multi-tool like I did, consider this model.

I took the Leatherman Skeletool with me on a three week mission trip in Africa. I used the knife frequently to cut tough sugar cane and fruit for the youth group. The pliers were able to tighten down stubborn allan screws on the AdSpecs distributed at our eye care clinic. The screwdriver helped with some general construction and repair tasks, and the bottle opener worked well at dinner. Overall, this is a great multi-tool containing the essential tools that you are likely to need.

If the quality of this product were better, it would have gotten 5 stars from me. The first time I ordered this (from another vendor), the metal was pitted and there was a little rust on the pliers. I sent it back and picked up a 2nd from Amazon instead. The packaging was identical (including nation or origin) but there were no pits or rust on the tool. It seems like there is a quality control problem at that overseas factory.
