Brush roller would not work right out of the box, but I had thrown away all the original packaging so I had to take it to a local repair shop which added 50 dollars to the purchase price. Works fine now.

Product Description:

MULTI TOOL, SKELETOOL CX, STAINLESS,


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.

indispensible companion
8/30/2008
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.

Light and basic
8/20/2008
The Skeletool is small, compact and light. I have found it easy to carry. It has a super comfortable blade, what I use most often. The pliers is precise enough to pull a fingernail; I have often had pliers that do not close tightly at the tip, but this one does. I like the screwdriver set, you can get a "pistol grip" and really apply some force. This is a very good, no nonsense, tool and I highly recommend it.

Dangerous beauty - beware!
8/9/2008
As a designer of utilitarian items, I became enamored with the Leatherman Skeletool CX after viewing the pre-release photos, and purchased one shortly after they became available. Although visually very appealing, the Skeletool CX falls short in functionality - the pliers jaws are not spring-loaded and must be opened manually, and it is a chore (albeit a minor one, to switch from the Phillips bit to a slotted one. These shortcomings relegate the usefulness of tool to the "better than nothing category". One might be willing to make the trade-off of reduced functionality for visual appeal, but the design of the tool is also flawed in some dangerous ways. Although being able to open and close the knife blade with one hand is a very useful feature, in order to disengage the locking mechanism, it is necessary to put your thumb in line with the very sharp blade. If one is performing this quickly it is all too easy for the blade to close on part of your thumb. This happened to me recently, and almost completely severed the top 1/4" of my thumb (the second worst cut of my life). Another dangerous situation occurs when using the pliers. There is a pinch-point where the back of the knife blade meets the opposing handle. If the pliers slipped off the object being gripped, the skin of the thumb or palm (depending upon how the pliers are being held, could easily get pinched. Although not as dangerous as the flaw with the closing mechanism of the knife, the resulting injury would no doubt be just as painful. I would strongly advise against buying the Skeletool CX, unless one is only going to look at it and not use it. Leatherman should recall this product and correct the safety shortcomings. I have owned a Gerber 08239 MP800 Legend Multitool for several years. It is typically in and out of its holster several times a day and I have nothing but exemplary remarks to make about its design and utility.

Transformer

This tool comes right out of the movie "Transformers". Looks cool, nice carbon fiber insert, sharp blade and practical size. The only thing it's missing is a good sheath, which in my opinion, should be included.

My favorite multi-tool ever
7/31/2008
I have had four previous multitools over the years. The Skeletool CX puts them all to shame. Leatherman has done a great job of selecting the tools that you would need the most in order to save size and weight. I have a Wave and it's so heavy that it is uncomfortable to wear and I find myself not missing the myriad of tools it had. The Skeletool CXs' CM 154 blade is amazingly sharp and hard. The serrated edge, only available on the CX version, is effective as a substitute saw. The exchangeable screwdriver heads work remarkably well. I find myself using them all the time. The pliers / wire cutter handle is ergonomically comfortable in your hand which is remarkable for a smaller, angular tool. Lastly, I'm clipping it inside the top of my pocket vs. having it bounce around in the bottom of my pocket. It keeps it from scratching my phone, etc. and is generally more comfortable to carry. I think carrying comfort is one of the most important aspects to consider when you're selecting a multitool because if it's too uncomfortable to carry all the time you won't carry it. This is by far the most comfortable to carry multitool I've had. All in all, this is the best designed multitool ever. It's design is superior and its build quality is first rate. It way exceeded my expectations.
