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

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.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Leatherman 830850 Skeletool CX Multitool

Customer Review: *Extremely* Handy + Terrific Customer Service
Summary: 5 Stars

I carry this everywhere, and it's saved me *many* trips down to my toolbox in the basement. It's quite light, and doesn't take up too much pocket space.

The design is really ingenious. I particularly love the changeable bits. The Skeletool ships with double-ended flat and Philips bits, and they store in the knife, so you're never without them. I bought the accessory bit set. It covers about 95% of the fasteners you're likely to run into.

The combination general-purpose/needlenose pliers are really quite good. Having the skinny tips has come in handy more than once.

In hindsight, I *might* go for the non-CX Skeletool simply because I like its smooth knife blade rather than the CX's semi-serrated. It's easier to sharpen. OTOH, the CX is excellent as-is, and the carbon-fiber is sexy. And yes, 154CM is better than 420HC. Not sure how much that matters in real life, though.

Yours truly broke off the tip of the knife blade (my fault, not the CX's). I wrote Leatherman an email. They said to send them $10 ($9? can't remember) for repair and return shipping. That sounded like a good deal, so I did it. After a couple of weeks I got a BRAND NEW CX along with my original uncashed check. I feel almost embarrassed at their generosity.

Anyway, I'd buy this again in an instant. I'm even tempted to squirrel another one away in case Earth is hit by an asteroid and they stop making them.
