![]() MSRP is about $100, but I was able to find them for almost half that by shopping around a bit. Leatherman’s latest multi-tool is available at most major retailers and their website. #Leatherman skeletool vs skeleton cx seriesFirst time I saw it I didnt think Id like it. Its super-weird to me that the only way to get a straight skeletool blade from factory other than the CX, is to buy the KB series knife. The larger one-handed knife 1520cm sets it apart. Im late to the game but its nice, functional, well built minimalist edc utility tool. I’m worried about the possibility of losing the bits over the long term, or the possibility of wear on the slot that holds the additional bit causing said bit to fall out. Leatherman Skeletool CX vs Leatherman Sideclip (Retired Tool) vs SOG X-Ray Vision Bought a Leatherman Skeletool CX a few weeks ago and love it. I do have a minor concern with the Wave, the screwdriver parts were permanently attached to the tool. While I was somewhat dubious about the design, I’ve grown to appreciate the light weight and carbon fiber look. #Leatherman skeletool vs skeleton cx driverThere are a few optional accessories available from Leatherman’s website – you can add a “Bit Kit” which contains 42 additonal bits, or a bit driver extension. The carabiner clip doubles as a bottle opener for emergencies. The Skeletool doesn’t come with a nylon sheath, but it does have a carabiner style clip to attach it to your gear. The screwdriver bits are interchangeable, and the one that is not in use is stored in the handle. So what does the Skeletool include as far as accessories? Pliers, a knife blade that locks open, bottle opener, and two sizes of standard and Philips screwdrivers. I will admit however, that I like the curved handle and carbon fiber feel of the Skeletool. Honestly, I wasn’t overly fond of the styling, as I usually prefer the ergonomics of the “old school” multi-tool. When Leatherman sent me the Skeletool, I was a little hesitant about it. I’ve carried other brands from time to time, but I also end up going back to a Leatherman. I had an original Leatherman tool back in the day, and used to carry a Leatherman Wave will me all the time until it was stolen. The Leatherman Skeletool beats the Gerber Crucial in our head to head testing due to its more durable knife, superior engineering, and better usability. Short version: The Leatherman Skeletool is a lightweight, high quality multi-tool that combines striking industrial design with excellent functionality. ![]()
