Multi-tool Lust 7/16/2008 I had my eye on the Skeletool CX for some time. I'm one of those pocket knife/flashlight fetishist and this design was too cool for me not to have. Once I had the multi-tool in my hand, I was immediately impressed. Very light, machined to the n-th degree, classic Leatherman blade honed to a scalpels edge and the carbon fiber elements had me open eyed like a kid. My only sense of disappointment had to do with the pliers. I realize the tool was designed to be ultra compact & lightweight but the size & gripping surface of the jaws seemed almost on the toyish size. Regretfully, my Skeletool never made it home from it's inaugural run on a recent out of town install so I never truly had a chance to put it to the test. Not pointing fingers at the TSA but I know it went into my bag before catching my flight home & it wasn't there when I arrived. Somebody else must've thought it was as cool as me. Thank You.

It has a knife, a bit driver, a good set of pliers, a pocket clip, and a small carabiner clip that doubles as a bottle opener. That is all. It does not have scissors, a file or a saw. It does not come with a sheath. It comes with two double-ended driver bits - one with two sizes of phillips head and one with two sizes of flat head. These are proprietary bits so you cannot use any other bits from other tools you may already own. I strongly recommend ordering the Leatherman bit set right off the bat. It's mainly intended for backpackers who don't really need basic tools to repair and maintain gear in the field while keeping weight to a minimum. It's about the same size and weight as my Benchmade Stryker folding pocket knife and I find it comfortable to carry in my pocket or clipper to my pack or belt loop (though that's a good way to rip a belt loop and lose the tool). The big debate is whether the CX model is worth the extra money or whether you should just buy the regular Skeletool. Both models weigh 5 ounces so the carbon fiber is decorative rather than genuinely weight-saving. The CX is a little sharper looking due to its darker color, but I paid the extra money to get the better knife blade. The blade on the CX is made of the tougher 154CM steel as opposed to the 420HC used for the regular Skeletool's blade. It should hold an edge better and take a little more abuse than the regular Skeletool's blade. The blade on the CX is also a partially serrated "Combo edge" that gives it an improved ability to cut through tough webbing or ropes if necessary. Thank You. Was this review helpful?

First, it has a pocket clip--When it was announced I tried to find this out, even calling the company and could not get a straight answer. I always have a bunch of stuff in my pockets, car keys, etc and a large knife is not something I want to add to the confusion. Second, I was carrying a Benchmade mini-griptillian and I love it. It also has a pocket clip--my only complaint with the benchmade is that it is just a knife. Need a screwdriver, go find one. Pliers, go get those too. The Skeletool provides the tools I need without extra stuff or extra weight. It fits in my pocket and with the clip is handy when I need it. Weight is very acceptable, like the benchmade, I don't know it is there until I need it. The layout is great, access the knife without having to open anything. The screwdriver is accessed by a simple opening of the tool, and one more opening and you have the pliers. The carabiner allows you to clip this to a belt loop, or a backpack, etc. also. Only 2 SMALL things keep this from being perfect. One it is slightly wider than my benchmade so reaching in my pocket around it is a little more difficult and secondly, the knife blade requires a little effort to get it out vs my benchmade. It can be done one handed, just not quite as easy as I would like. The blade is RAZOR SHARP, right out of the box. Great knife, good quality--a winner. Oh, I would have preferred the Stainless but the CX is the only way to get a serrated blade. Thank You. Was this review helpful?
Spider tool 6/27/2008 I purchased this for my husband for fathers day along with the accessories and case. He loves it. He says it is very sharp and he uses it in the yard all the time and also carries it around so he had it just in case. The screw driver accessory kit is always handy because you have a screw driver available at al times. This all fits nicely in the case and hangs on his belt. We are thinking now that the boys need one for Christmas. Thank You. Was this review helpful?
THIS IS A FANTASTIC PRODUCT! 6/26/2008 My Skeletool CX arrived a few days ago. A little Tuf-Glide and everything worked as smooth as silk. I noticed a number of complaints on Amazon. If the product they received is dysfunctional, I can't imagine a better company than Leatherman to deal with re: Customer Relations and repairs or replacement. Those who feel this multitool performs or resembles that of another company needs to give this tool more time. I've never seen anything quite like it since the original Spyderco Spyderwrench (which I also own). It's an ingenious design and the perfect balance between light weight, form and function. I'll always have my Wave and Charge close by, but Tim Leatherman has created what I consider to be his best multitool EDC with the Skeletool. By the way.......the carbon fiber makes the CX a jewel. Thank You. Was this review helpful?
