"Best Every Day Carry" 2010-04-14
By J. Antonsson (Boston, MA)
I love this tool. It's lightweight and has all the necessary tools of its larger multitool counterparts. The knife is amazing quality and holds an edge very well. For those debating between the standard Skeletool and the Skeletool CX I would highly recommend spending the extra money simply for the 154CM steel blade. The screwdriver is very nice although the grip takes a little getting used to because when in the screwdriver position, the far end (the end with the bottle opener/carabiner) is curved. The pliers work fine although I would have liked a a little more real estate on the wire cutters. It's the perfect size to fit in my pocket and the one handed access to the knife in incredibly useful. For someone looking for a good, lightweight EDC that can hold it's own against full sized multitools I'd highly recommend the Skeletool CX.
"Sleek and sharp" 2010-04-10
By keefnet (UK)
I have a Charge but this is much lighter and the blade is very sharp. Cool looking -- used the screwdriver -- good enough. The pliers are smaller than the Charge but seem adequate --- haven't really put too much force on them and hope they won't break like someone else reported.
I'd recommend this tool if a blade, smallish pliers and a conveneient scredriver are all that's needed.
Easily sits cliped in jeans pocket although some edges are a little square on presenting a sharp corner on that edge but ends are pretty curved.... solid feel and overall very good.
"Wonderful Warranty" 2010-04-05
By P. D. Ginnings (Texas)
I've carried this tool every day since I bought it early in 2008, and darn if I don't use it more days than I don't.
The pliers, knife and four screwdrivers are large enough to actually complete most tasks that I find around my house, garage and small pasture. It's also designed so that it's light enough and such that I can clip it handily in a pocket and pretty much not know I'm carrying it.
But the best thing I found is the warranty. One week after I received it, I handed it to my 6'5", 250lb baseball glove hand sized son to remove nut. He squeezed just a bit and the pliers jaw snapped off. A quick look at the fracture surface indicated the kind of brittle fracture that I expect came from a casting flaw. Clearly it's not good that this kind of quality defect got through their process, but darn it, I had a new one within the week. The claim process was pretty painless too. My replacement tool has worked flawlessly for over two years now and I couldn't be happier!
"Dangerous Safety Catch" 2010-03-27
By Benjo (Fairbanks, AK)
My life has me needing a few basic tools frequently, and the Skeletool is a much better blend of utility than my old Wave, which was too bulky and heavy to have on me all the time. As many have mentioned before, the pocket clip is a godsend. When I was looking over the Skeletool upon receiving it, I noticed the knife has a nubby little raised bump on the face of the safety lock. This little metal bump (which is not a manufacturing flaw - it is on all of them) catches the knife at a 90 degree angle (if you consider the knife to be at 0 degrees when closed and 180 when open) while retracting blade. At first I thought this was just mildly annoying since it forces you to push down the safety lock again after you've already disengaged the perfectly adequate safety lock, but decided that this redundancy was possibly designed to make the knife safer.
However, a few weeks after I got it, I was using the knife to cut some cloth and when I went to close the knife, it caught on the rounded bump for a moment and then jumped off it. The serrated edge (which, like the rest of the knife, is really quite impressively sharp), propelled by the (reasonable, I assure you) force of me closing the knife, slid under my thumbnail and cut quite deeply into my thumb before I could move my thumb out of the way. I am not a careless person with knives, and I respect the danger that is intrinsic with using them. Every knife I have ever owned (and I've had my fair share) has had a smooth action in closing after unlocking the blade, and the unnatural interruption of that action seems to be a dangerous aberration in this knife's design. It seems to me that the most dangerous part of unlocking the knife is the part where you have to have your thumb sticking in airspace where the blade will be passing momentarily while applying pressure to the backside of the blade. I fail to see the improvement in safety with the secondary catch that has to be operated with the blade 50% closer to your thumb than the first time you unlocked the blade. I wrote Leatherman about this, and a customer service rep I got told me she saw what I was talking about, and although she said that they had no plans for redesign of that feature, she forwarded it to their marketing department anyways. I have no idea what the marketing department could do about this besides maybe photograph it in a way that makes the bump less noticeable, but I let it go.
I ended up taking a Dremel to the bump and grinding it off. Since then, I've found it much more safe to use.
"Sexy Multitool" 2010-03-21
By Betty C. Rostro (Dallas, TX)
This is a sexy multitool, it's very fashionable, and chic. When I first saw this I thought it was the sexiest multitool ever and purchased it. After 2 years of owning it and using it to take apart a TEM, SEM, AFM, and sputter equipment, I can verifiable say that as a physicist I can't work without it. I have also used this to put together my bed, a desk, fix my car, and screw my babie's toys together. As a woman, I can say that the look is not too masculine, and sexy enough that I don't feel like it's your average and boring regular tool. I like this very much, but don't carry it around cause I'm afraid of people thinking that I'm that girl that fixes everything, although I am.
